Abstract :
Vibrating particles system (VPS) is a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on the free
vibration of freedom system’ single degree with viscous damping. In this algorithm, each
agent gradually approach to its equilibrium position; new agents are generated according to
current agents and a historically best position. Enhanced vibrating particles system (EVPS)
employs a new alternative procedure to enhance the performance of the VPS algorithm. Two
different truss structures are investigated to demonstrate the performance of the VPS and
EVPS weight optimization of structures.
