| Popis: | This paper presents a particle swarm optimizer for production of endurance time excitation functions. These excitations are intensifying acceleration time histories that are used as input motions in endurance time method. The accuracy of the endurance time methods heavily depends on the accuracy of endurance time excitations. Unconstrained nonlinear optimization is employed to simulate these excitations. Particle swarm optimization method as an evolutionary algorithm is examined in this paper to achieve a more accurate endurance time excitation function, where optimal parameters of the particle swarm optimization are first determined using a parametric study on the involved variables. The proposed method is verified and compared with the trust-region reflective method as a classical optimization method and imperialist competitive algorithm as a recently developed evolutionary method. Results show that the proposed method leads to more accurate endurance time excitations. Comment: It is fully published in the journal of Engineering Reports (Oct issue, 2019) |
