Abstract
The paper deals with the application of evolutionary algorithms (EA) and the boundary element method (BEM) in optimization and identification of elastic structures under thermomechanical loading. A shape optimization problem was solved for various thermomechanical criteria with upper bound on the volume of the structure. The identification of voids basing on the information about measured displacements and temperatures in boundary sensor points was also considered. This problem was solved as well as for both ideal deterministic and randomly disturbed values of measured displacements and temperatures. Several tests and practical examples of optimization and identification were presented.
