Abstract
The current investigation deals with the weight minimization of truss structures accomplishing the simultaneous shape, size, and topology optimization. In this regard, this study presents an effective algorithm called integrated particle swarm optimizer (iPSO) as an optimization tool. The iPSO combines favorable features of the standard PSO with an efficient concept of `weighted particle' to improve its performance. In addition, `improved...
