This paper presents an optimization method for optimal engineering structure design. An interface procedure is essentially developed to combine the intelligent optimization algorithm and computer aided engineering (CAE) code. An optimization example is carried out to minimize the interlaminar normal stress of a laminate which affect the delamination failure of a laminate via arranging the stacking sequence. The analytical solution is calculated to validate the accuracy of optimization results.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a common metaheuristic algorithm. However, when dealing with practical engineering structure optimization problems, it is prone to premature convergence during the search process and falls into a local optimum. To strengthen its performance, combining several ideas of the differential evolution algorithm (DE), a dynamic probability mutation particle swarm optimization with chaotic inertia weight (CWDEPSO) is proposed. The main improvements are achieved by improving the parameters and algorithm mechanism in this paper. The former proposes a novel inverse tangent chaotic inertia weight and sine learning factors. Besides, the scaling factor and crossover probability are improved by random distributions, respectively. The latter introduces a monitoring mechanism. By monitoring the convergence of PSO, a developed mutation operator with a more reliable local search capability is adopted and increases population diversity to help PSO escape from the local optimum effectively. To evaluate the effectiveness of the CWDEPSO algorithm, 24 benchmark functions and two groups of engineering optimization experiments are used for numerical and engineering optimization, respectively. The results indicate CWDEPSO offers better convergence accuracy and speed compared with some well-known metaheuristic algorithms.
