Grey wolf optimization algorithm for solving real-world design optimization problems

Abstract

In design of mechanical elements, designers usually consider certain objectives that are related with cost, time, quality and reliability of product depending on the requirements. In this paper, parametric optimization of spring design problem, pressure vessel design problem and cantilever beam design problem has been carried out using Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm (GWO for short). The results obtained using GWO are compared with the results reported by other researchers. The source codes the GWO algorithm are publicly available at https://seyedalimirjalili.com/.
