Optimal Design of Large-scale Dome Truss Structures with Multiple Frequency Constraints Using Success-history Based Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm

The success-history based adaptive differential evolution (SHADE) algorithm is an efficient modified version of the (DE) algorithm, and it has been successfully applied to solve some real-world optimization problems. However, best our knowledge, rarely in field structural optimization. optimal design structures with frequency constraints well known as a highly nonlinear non-convex problem many local optima. In this paper, SHADE examined context size large-scale truss multiple constraints. SHADE, historical memory successful control parameter settings used guide generation new parameters. order demonstrate effectiveness efficiency three problems are presented. examples considered paper include 600-bar single-layer dome-shaped truss, 1180-bar 1410-bar double-layer truss. results obtained by presented compared best-known reported literature. Numerical indicate superior performance over other algorithms terms solution accuracy robustness. It worth mentioning that all cases considered, designs ones literature so far. often requires fewer analyses than those required algorithms.
