Single objective truss sizing optimization problem

This is the demo of single objective truss sizing optimization problem for research and educational studies.

The problem is use in the manuscript entitled "Truss sizing optimization - gradient-based optimizers versus metaheuristics" by Kittinan Wansasueb, Tawatchai Kunakote, Natee Panagant, Nantiwat Pholdee, Sujin Bureerat, and Ali Riza Yildiz

There are 9 single objective truss sizing optimization problems included in this archive. The problems are list as follows:

1) 10-bar problem

2) 25-bar problem

3) 37-bar problem

4) 60-bar problem

5) 72-bar problem

6) 120-bar problem

7) 200-bar problem

8) 942-bar symettry problem

9) 942-bar asymettry problem

These are structural optimization problem which use finite elemen analysis as a solver.
