A Novel Hybrid Harmony Search Approach for the Analysis of Plane Stress Systems via Total Potential Optimization

By finding the minimum total potential energy of a structural system with a defined degree of freedoms assigned as design variables, it is possible to find the equilibrium condition of the deformed system. This method, called total potential optimization using metaheuristic algorithms (TPO/MA), has...
