Search and Rescue Optimization Algorithm for Size Optimization of Truss Structures with Discrete Variables

In this paper, a new metaheuristic algorithm is developed to sizing optimization of truss structures with discrete variables. The proposed algorithms namely search and rescue optimization algorithm (SAR), imitates the exploration behavior of humans during search and rescue operations. The performanc...
