Optimum Design of Steel Space Frames Using a Hybrid Slime Mould–Jaya Algorithm with Online Distributed Computing
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper introduces a novel hybrid metaheuristic optimization algorithm, combining improved formulations of the Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) and the Jaya Algorithm (JA) (HSMJA) with online distributed computing (ODC), referred to as HSMJA-ODC. While HSMJA hybridizes the improved versions of SMA and JA formulations to maximize searchability, ODC significantly reduces the computation time of the optimization process. The proposed HSMJA-ODC algorithm is used for the weight minimization of steel space frames under strength, displacement, and geometric size constraints. The optimization results obtained from three steel frames confirm the efficiency and robustness of the proposed HSMJA-ODC algorithm, which consistently converges on competitively optimized designs in comparison to its rivals. Moreover, distributed computing reduces computation time by more than 80% compared to single-computer implementations.
