Research of using genetic algorithm in machinery optimization

Genetic algorithm is an adaptive heuristic global search algorithm;it has the advantages those traditional algorithms lacking and easier to solve various optimization problems.In the process of continuous improvement and maturing,genetic algorithm has been widely used.In the field of optimum design of mechanical have been a large number of applications.The paper,from genetic algorithm toolbox and improved genetic algorithm two aspects discusses the genetic algorithm in optimum design of mechanical with the advantages and introduction in related fields of some typical examples of successful application in recent years.For genetic algorithm in optimization of mechanical design prospects of development made the necessary discussion.
