Multi-population Search Engines for Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures
Abstract: This paper deals with the complex design domains, which usually require higher computational effort, and further tuning of parameters for algorithms is not practicable in terms of time and effort required. Multi search engines can be one such option wherein the search particles in groups are searching the design domain. Aqua search metaheuristic optimization algorithm is used to effectively explore and exploit the search domain. It is observed that this …

Parallel Search Engines for Topology Optimization of an Arch Truss using Evolutionary Algorithms
Abstract: The use of parallel search engines to solve NP-Hard problems is increasingly in use with the computational power becoming more economical. The objective of this paper is to effectively explore and exploit the search domain to identify the optimal point using two search engines in parallel. This paper proves that intensification and diversification can be performed effectively using two search engines in parallel. The use of two search engines in …
