[abstract]

The Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm has been implemented with success in the Reliability Based Optimal Design (RBOD) of truss structures. In this study, a BPSO implementing time-varying schemes for the inertia factor and maximum velocity is used for the same purpose. Various schemes are examined and the performance is compared against the simple BPSO.
