A centerline symmetry and double-line transformation based algorithm for large-scale multi-objective optimization by Xiangjuan Wu, Yuping Wang, Ziqing Wang

“…The search space of large-scale multi-objective optimization problems (LSMOPs) is huge because of the hundreds or even thousands of decision variables involved. It is very challenging to design efficient algorithms for LSMOPs to search the whole space effectively and balance the convergence and diversity at the same time. …”

Structural Damage Identification Using PID-Based Search Algorithm: A Control-Theory Inspired Application by Kuang Shi, Tingting Sun

“…We developed finite element programs for a 10-element simply supported beam, a 21-element truss, and a 7-story steel frame, assigning damage factors to each element as design variables. The Relative Frequency Change Rate (RFCR) and Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) were calculated as objective functions for PSA iteration; comparative studies were then conducted against Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Simulated Annealing (SA) in terms of damage identification accuracy, computational efficiency, and noise robustness. …”
