Kaveh A, Talatahari S. OPTIMIZATION OF LARGE-SCALE TRUSS STRUCTURES USING MODIFIED CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH. IJOCE 2011; 1 (1) :15-28

Abstract:   (32598 Views)
Optimal design of large-scale structures is a rather difficult task and the computational efficiency of the currently available methods needs to be improved. In view of this, the paper presents a modified Charged System Search (CSS) algorithm. The new methodology is based on the combination of CSS and Particle Swarm Optimizer. In addition, in order to improve optimization search, the sequence of tasks entailed by the optimization process is changed so that the updating of the design variables can directly be performed after each movement. In this way, the new method acts as a single-agent algorithm while preserving the positive characteristics of its original multi-agent formulation.
