The paper points out the growing interest in the use of composite materials for responsible components, including hydraulic components. The non-negligible benefits of using composite materials in mechanical engineering were pointed out. However, applications of new materials sometimes give rise to new challenges. The strength parameters of a new structure, such as a composite cylinder for a hydraulic cylinder, depend on its structure, including the number of fiber layers and the angle of their arrangement. This paper presents the application of a genetic algorithm to optimize the process of selecting the structure of a composite cylinder of a hydraulic cylinder. A block diagram of the algorithm for optimizing the structure election process is presented, and the designed structure is verified.
