Weight minimization of truss structures with sizing and layout variables using integrated particle swarm optimizer
This study investigates the performances of the integrated particle swarm optimizer (iPSO) algorithm in the layout and sizing optimization of truss structures. The iPSO enhances the standard PSO algorithm employing both the concept of weighted particle and the improved fly-back method to handle opt...
