Description
Summary:碩士 === 大同大學 === 機械工程學系(所) === 97 === The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, a relatively recent bio-inspired approach to solve combinatorial optimization problems mimicking the social behavior of birds flocking, is applied to problems of continuum structural topology design. An overview of the PSO and binary PSO algorithms are first described. A discretized topology design representation and the method for mapping binary particle into this representation are then detailed. Subsequently, modified binary PSO algorithm and logic binary PSO algorithm adopt the concept of genotype-phenotype representation are illustrated. Several well-studied examples from structural topology optimization problems of minimum weight and minimum compliance are used to demonstrate its efficiency and versatility. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and its ability to find families of structural topologies.
