Design variables are discrete and/or continuous. The design of truss structures is optimized by an efficient optimization algorithm called Jaya. The main feature of Jaya is that it does not require setting algorithm-specific parameters. The algorithm has a very simple formulation in which the basic idea is to approach the best solution and escape from the worst solution [6]. Analyses of structures are performed by a finite element code in MATLAB. The effectiveness of the Jaya algorithm is demonstrated using two benchmark examples: planar truss 18-bar and spatial truss 39-bar, and compared with results in references.}, issn = {2956-5839}, pages = {177--184}, doi = {10.24423/cames.282}, url = {https://cames.ippt.gov.pl/index.php/cames/article/view/282} }
