Improved PSO algorithm for shape and sizing optimization of truss structure

In order to overcome the premature convergence defect of the basic particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and provide an effective method for shape and sizing optimization of truss structure, an improved PSO was proposed. The random direction method was employed to produce high-quality initial...
