This study is to solve the structural optimization problem by a quantum-inspired harmony search algorithm. For the optimization, we suggest the mathematical modeling of the plane truss which is possible to minimum weight design. In its model, the cost function is minimum weight and constraint function consists of the stress.

The development of QEA(Quantum-inspired Evolution Algorithm) and their engineering-problem applications have emerged as one of the most interesting research topics. These algorithms find optimal values with the operators such as quantum-gate by using quantum-bit superposed basically by zero and one. In this process, the balance between the two features of exploration and exploitation can be kept easily. So, this paper is to propose an optimum design program for truss system based on QEA and 17 bar plane truss model is adopted as numerical example.

In order to realize these weight lightening, structure was used to high strength thin plate. If thin plate structure is used, buckling about compression is happen so we should consider buckling. Commonly, we use the girder with stiffener to prevent shear buckling but if we use corrugated web, it can be the role of stiffener to buckling This study is developed of program about optimum problem using structure design process and real-valued genetic algorithm. For the optimum design, the objective function is defined weight of sinusoidal corrugated web and conduct by optimization. The program is analyzed by example.

구조최적화는 최근 CAD와 컴퓨터 기술이 발전하면서 구조설계부분에 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 30층의 강구조물을 대상으로 유한요소해석 및 어댑티브 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적중량설계를 구현하였다. 최적설계는 모든 설계상수와 설계하중들이 주어졌을 때, 목적함수가 최소로 됨과 동시에 모든 설계제약조건을 만족시키는 설계변수를 결정하는 설계법이라고 정의할 수 있다. 최적설계 구현을 통해 건설 측면에 있어 성능 향상과 신뢰도 향상 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것이다.
