“…Genetic algorithm can be defined as a heuristic search method with the main purpose of optimization of the described system [39], based on the principles of natural evolution. Thus the genetic operators in numerical procedure are inspired by the natural evolution principles, such as selection, reproduction, mutation and crossover [11,19,23,39]. Together with the definition of its main properties, such as population initialization, definition of results domains, convergence rule and generations progress rule it is a powerful tool for the calibration of material models of nonlinear systems, which are based on experimental data gained from the materials response to the probing signal.…”
