Satoshi KitaYama, Koetsu Yamazaki, Masao Arakawa Dept. of Human & Mechanical Systems Engineering, Kanazawa University 2-40-20, Kodatsuno, Kanazawa, 920-8667, Japan [email protected] Abstract: Particle Swarm Optimization is applied to the mixed discrete non-linear problems (MDNLP). PSO is mainly a method to find a global or quasiminimum for a non-convex optimization problem of continuous design variables. To handle the discrete design variables, penalty function is introduced. By using penalty function, it is possible to treat all design variables as the continuous design variables. Through typical structural optimization problem, the validity of proposed approach for MDNLP is examined.

متن کاملNon-linear stochastic inversion of regional Bouguer anomalies by means of Particle Swarm Optimization: Application to the Zagros Mountains
Estimating the lateral depth variations of the Earth’s crust from gravity data is a non-linear ill-posed problem. The ill-posedness of the problem is due to the presence of noise in the data, and also the non-uniqueness of the problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a stochastic population-based optimizer, originally inspired by the social behavior of fish schools and bird flocks. PSO is ...

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.
