require optimization techniques to solve During the past few decades, many optimization techniques have been proposed and applied to solve a wide range of various optimization problems Among them, meta-heuristic algorithms have gained huge popularity in recent years in solving design optimization problems of many types of structure with different materials These meta-heuristic algorithms include genetic algorithms (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), bat algorithm (BA), cuckoo search (CS), differential evolution (DE), firefly algorithm (DA), harmony search (HS), flower pollination algorithm (FPA), ant colony optimization (ACO), bee algorithms (BA), Jaya algorithm and many others Among the methods mentioned above, the Differential Evolution is one of the most widely used methods Since it was first introduced in 1997 by Storn and Price [1], many studies have been carried out to improve and apply DE in solving structural optimization problems The DE has demonstrated excellently performance in solving many different engineering problems Besides the Differential Evolution algorithm, the Jaya algorithm recently proposed by Rao [2] in 2016 is also an effective and efficient methods that has been widely applied to solve many optimization problems and showed its good performance It gains dominate results when being tested with benchmark test functions in comparison with other meta-heuristic methods However, like many other population-based optimization algorithms, one of the disadvantages of DE and Jaya is that the computational time obtaining optimal solutions is much slower than the gradient-based optimization methods This is because DE and Jaya takes a lot of time evaluating the fitness of individuals in the population To overcome this disadvantage, Artificial Neuron Networks (ANN) are studied to combine with the meta-heuristic algorithms, such as Differential Evolution, to form a new approach which has the ability to solve the design optimization effectively Moreover, one of the most important issues in engineering design is that the optimal designs are often effected by uncertainties which can be occurred from various sources, such as iii manufacturing processes, material properties and operating environments These uncertainties may cause structures to improper performance as in the original design, and hence may result in risks to structures [3] Therefore, reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) can be considered as an important and comprehensive strategy for finding an optimal design In this dissertation, an improved version of Differential Evolution has been first time utilized to solve for optimal fiber angle and thickness of the reinforced composite Secondly, the Artificial Neural Network is integrated to the optimization process of the improved Differential Evolution algorithm to form a new algorithm call ABDE (ANN-based Differential Evolution) algorithm This new algorithm is then applied to solve optimization problems of the reinforced composite plate structures Thirdly, an elitist selection technique is utilized to modify the selection step of the original Jaya algorithm to improve the convergence of the algorithm and formed a new version of the original Jaya called iJaya algorithm The improved Jaya algorithm is then applied to solve for optimization problem of the Timoshenko composite beam and obtained very good results Finally, the so-called called (SLMD-iJaya) algorithm which is the combination of the improved Jaya algorithm and the Global Single-Loop Deterministic Methods (SLDM) has been proposed as a new tool set for solving the Reliability-Based Design Optimization problems This new method is applied to look for optimal design of Timoshenko composite beam structures with certain level of reliability iv TÓM TẮT Hầu toán thiết kế kỹ thuật coi tốn tối ưu địi hỏi kỹ thuật tối ưu hóa để giải Trong thập kỷ qua, nhiều kỹ thuật tối ưu hóa đề xuất áp dụng để
