Abstract
The sine cosine algorithm (SCA) is a new meta-heuristic algorithm. It has been proven to be very competitive compared with other meta-heuristic algorithms and has attracted significant attention from researchers in different fields. At present, there is no research on the application of SCA in the truss structure. In order to solve the truss optimization problem, the following improvements are made to SCA in this paper. Firstly, a non-linear conversion parameter is set to replace the linear conversion parameter, so that the exploration area is better in line with the characteristics of the actual optimization situation. Secondly, the Lévy flight is employed to enhance the algorithm’s global search ability. Thirdly, a novel elite guidance strategy taking advantage of memory data is proposed to strengthen the local search ability. Finally, a greedy selection strategy is adopted for the selection of the candidate. Combining the finite element method, we apply ISCA to optimize the size, shape and topology of truss structures. The examples show that ISCA can use less calculation time, get better results, and also better stability. So, the ISCA is effective to solve the size, shape and topology optimization problems of truss structures.
