Materialeffizienz und Statik vereint: Ein hybrider Algorithmus zur Optimierung multipler Kastenträger-Konfigurationen

A hybrid evolutionary algorithm is presented that optimizes the cutting of metal plates for crane frame structures, simultaneously minimizing material waste and the number of joint connections that affect static integrity. The method operates in two stages—first determining the minimal number of plates required and then mutating plate configurations under static constraints—and is designed to be applied across multiple orders, enabling additional material savings and adaptable, data‑driven planning.
