Based on the crowding distance algorithm of Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II), three improved algorithms are proposed: side length optimization strategy, diagonal optimization strategy, center optimization strategy. Zero-Ductility Transition (ZDT) series functions and Diode-Transistor Logic with Zener diode (DTLZ) series functions are used to calculate and compare the convergence and diversity of three improved algorithms and NSGA-II. The center optimization strategy based NSGA-II is confirmed to be the optimal algorithm. The body-in-white (BIW) optimization functions are established and optimized by center optimization strategy based NSGA-II, and the most appropriate BIW structure is calculated and verified by mode tests. The result shows: after the optimization, the BIW total mass increment is less than 3%, the first torsional mode frequency increment is more than 15%, and the torsion stiffness increment is more than 10%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
