Topological optimization of composite trusses considering CO2 emission via metaheuristics algorithms

Abstract In order to provide more sustainable solutions to the design of composite truss beams, the present work proposes a formulation to optimize dimensional, geometric and topologic parameters aiming to minimize CO2 emissions. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are used...
