The Knowledge Enhancement Seminar on Structural Optimization using Genetic Algorithmstarted with thewelcome address and introduction of the resource person by Dr. V. Vandhana Devi, Head of the Department and continued with the basics of evolution of algorithms and programing by Dr. P.Sivakumar.About 21 participants including PG students and faculty from other educational institutions attended the seminar.
The session continued with the application or transformation of the practical problem in the engineering in to the machine language through mathematical equations and other higher order integrals. Different types of available machine learning programs and algorithms were introduced to the participants and the detailed abstract of the ‘Genetic Algorithm’ was discussed.The salient topic of the seminar was application of the genetic algorithm in optimization of resources and materials in structural design and fabrication. The event concluded with a vote of thanks by the coordinator and distribution of certificates to the participants by the Head of the Department.
