Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ (NSGA-Ⅱ) with connectivity analysis is employed for the multi-objective topology optimization of the flexible support structure for morphing trailing edge, in which bit-matrix is used as the representation of a chromosome. Starting with the analysis of optimization target of the flexible support structure for trailing edge, the objective functions of multi-objective topology optimization are established. In order to improve the efficiency and make the optimization results better, the connectivity analysis and similar individual filter are put forward. The objectives such as mass, performances of deformation and load bearing ability of the feasible individuals are obtained by finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS, and the bit-matrix-based NSGA-Ⅱ is realized in MATLAB by penalizing the infeasible individuals. Subsequently, the feasible configurations of the support structure are obtained. The results show that the bit-matrix-based NSGA-Ⅱ with the connectivity analysis and similar individual filter can provide feasible and effective solutions for multi-objective topology optimization of the flexible support structure for morphing trailing edge.
