Shrnutí:In this paper, a novel shape optimization method is proposed to improve the mechanical performance of the free-form grid structures while satisfying the architectural requirements. The height of control points are considered as the optimization variables, the structural strain energy and the comprehensive quantitative index are considered as optimization objectives. The sensitivity hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (referred to as SH-MOEA) is developed and the shape optimization of the free-form grid structures is carried out based on the developed algorithm. The optimization results are compared with those based on NGSA-II, SPEA2 and MOEA/D algorithms. The results demonstrate that the developed algorithm not only can obtain the Pareto optimal solution set with better accuracy and uniformity, but also indicates higher computational efficiency than other three algorithms. The similarity of surface, the fluence and regularity of free-form grids are effectively improved by considering the geometric comprehensive quantitative index as the optimization objective. •A hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm is developed.•The accuracy and computational efficiency of the multi-objective optimization algorithm is improved.•A novel shape optimization method of the free-form grid structures is proposed.•The mechanical performance, similarity of surface, the fluence and regularity of free-form grids are effectively improved.
