Abstract
This contribution aims to apply the Vibrating Particles System Algorithm (VPSA) in engineering system design. In general, this optimization strategy is based on free vibration simulation of a sub-damped system constituted by particles that gradually tend to equilibrium positions. In order to evaluate the capacity of this optimization strategy, three classical problems in engineering context (welded beam design, pressure vessel design and tension/compression spring design) are studied. The obtained results demonstrate that the VPSA configures an interesting alternative to engineering system design compared with other heuristic approaches.
