[ 1 ] - FIXED-WEIGHT EIGENVALUE OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES BY SWARM INTELLIGENT ALGORITHMS

Meta-heuristics have already received considerable attention in various engineering optimization fields. As one of the most rewarding tasks, eigenvalue optimization of truss structures is concerned in this study. In the proposed problem formulation the fundamental eigenvalue is to be maximized for a constant structural weight. The optimum is searched using Particle Swarm Optimization, PSO and i...
