Particle Swarm Optimization for Truss Sizing with Buckling Constraints
This paper discusses the use of particle swarm optimization algorithm for planar truss sizing with dynamic buckling constraints, focusing on minimizing total structure mass and surface area. It delves into truss structural optimization, buckling constraints, and the application of PSO in achieving optimal designs. The study compares different models to analyze the impact of mass minimization on reducing overall construction costs.

2010 SCEC Project: Goulet & Haselton From 2010 SCEC Annual Meeting poster Figure 1: Example of record selection for the one-to-one comparison. Five best matches to the El Centro 180 degrees component from 3660 simulated Landers records. Selection is based on optimization of the mean square error relative to the target.
