Optimal design of large-scale structures is a rather difficult task and the computational efficiency of the currently available methods needs to be improved. In view of this, the paper presents a modified Charged System Search (CSS) algorithm. The new methodology is based on the combination of CSS and Particle Swarm Optimizer. In addition, in order to improve optimization search, the sequence o...

In order to overcome the weakness that particle swarm optimization algorithm is likely to fall into local minimum when the complex optimization problems are solved, a new adaptive dynamic particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. The paper introduces the evaluation index of particle swarm premature convergence to judge the state of particle swarm in the population space, for the sake o...
