Abstract :
Most of recent work related to using Hopfield network to optimization problems focuses on its capabilities in solving linear programming, combinatorial optimization, and so on. This paper discusses the application of Hopfield network to optimal design of mechanical systems, exploring Hopfield network´s advantages in constrained nonlinear programming involved in mechanical design. An example is given to illustrate the efficiency of Hopfield network in solving problems of mechanical optimal design
