Abstract

This paper presents refined one-dimensional (1D) finite element models develop by an effective nodal kinematics optimization method. The refined models belong to Best Theory Diagrams, which are built by using the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF), Axiomatic/Asymptotic method and a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The influence of different chromosome types on the refined models and GA performance have been investigated. It is shown that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of regular 1D-CUF finite element models. Furthermore, the results suggest that it is possible to built refined models for compound loads from the ones optimized for individual loads.
