MATLAB CODE FOR VIBRATING PARTICLES SYSTEM ALGORITHM

In this paper, MATLAB code for a recently developed meta-heuristic methodology, the vibrating particles system (VPS) algorithm, is presented. The VPS is a population-based algorithm which simulates a free vibration of single degree of freedom systems with viscous damping. The particles gradually approach to their equilibrium positions that are achieved from current population and historically best position. Two truss towers with ۹۴۲ and ۲۳۸۶ elements are examined for the validity of the present algorithm; however, the performance VPS has already been proven through truss and frame design optimization problems.
