Structural optimization of hollow-section steel trusses by differential evolution algorithm

This paper deals with the weight minimization of planar steel trusses by adopting a differential evolution-based algorithm. Square hollow sections are considered. The design optimization refers to size, shape and topology. The design variables are represented by the geometrical dimensions of the cro...
