PSO-Based Approach for Buckling Analysis of Shell Structures with Geometric Imperfections

The buckling loads of shell structures are sensitive to initial geometric imperfections. Conventional methods used to model geometric imperfections cannot determine the accuracy of buckling loads with high computational efficiency. A new computational approach based on particle swarm optimization (P...
