A new hybrid algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) is presented to get the optimum design of truss structures with discrete design variables. The objective function chosen in this paper is the total weight of the truss structure, which depends on upper and lower bounds in the form of stress and displacement limits. The Particle Swarm Optimization basically model...
متن کاملTrusses, NP-Completeness, and Genetic Algorithms
The optimization of large trusses often leads to a nearly optimal solution, rather than a truly optimal design. In fact, the problem space for truss optimization grows exponentially with the size of the truss. Using the method of problem reduction, this paper demonstrates that truss optimization is in the set of NP-complete problems. Hence, the only practical techniques for solving the truss pr...
