DISCRETE-SIZING OPTIMAL DESIGN OF SCISSOR-LINK FOLDABLE STRUCTURES USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

In this article the genetic algorithm is employed to optimize scissor-link foldable structures. The advantage of using GA lies in the fact that the discrete spaces can be optimized without any complexity. Here displacement method is used for analysis with uniplet elements.
