Abstract:
      Topological optimization is one of the most difficult problem in structural design,whichcan't be dealed with efficiently so far.Main obstacle of topological optimization is the sigu-larity of design spaces caused by the constraints deletion at some points. The genetic algo-rithm (GA)is a search procedure abstracted from natural genetics & natural selection,whose three basic operators are reproduction,crossover & mutation. The paper tries to solvethe topological optimization using the GA,which is showed to be feasible by the results ofgiven examples.
