Özet

In this paper, a many-objective hybrid real-code population-based incremental learning and differential evolution algorithm (MnRPBILDE) is proposed based on the concept of objective function space reduction. The method is then implemented on real engineering design problems. The topology, shape and sizing design of a simplified automotive floor-frame structure are formulated and used as test problems. A variety of well-established multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) including the original version of MnRPBILDE are employed to solve the test problems while the results are compared based on hypervolume and C indicators. The results indicate that our proposed algorithm outperforms the other MOEAs. The proposed algorithm is effective and efficient for many-objective optimisations of a car floor-frame structure.
