Colliding Bodies Optimization method for optimum design of truss structures with continuous variables
A simple optimization algorithm is presented for weight optimal design of trusses. Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO) is based on one-dimensional collisions of two bodies. CBO is internally a parameter independent algorithm. Comparison of the results of CBO with those of previous studies, demonstrate its capabilities.
