Abstract :
The process of designing many industrial products is today characterized by the use of ad hoc methods, iterative trial and error-like proceedings and the engineer´s own experience and intuition. This is due to the complexity of the problems attempted, and the difficulty to formalize them and express them mathematically. The authors suggest the use of a genetic algorithm to partially automate industrial design, and describe an example where the method has been successfully used to improve the design of a gas turbine
