A modified ant colony optimization algorithm for dynamic topology optimization
MACO is a robust and stable algorithm in dynamic topology optimization problems. MACO is more effective and suitable comparing with the standard ACO. Convergence rate of MACO is competitive with that of BESO. Optimal natural frequencies from MACO are slightly higher than those from BESO.
