OPTIMUM DESIGN OF SKELETAL STRUCTURES USING ANT LION OPTIMIZER
S. Talatahari *
Abstract:   (20910 Views)
This paper utilizes recent optimization algorithm called Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) for optimal design of skeletal structures. The ALO is based on the hunting mechanism of Antlions in nature. The random walk of ants, building traps, entrapment of ants in traps, catching preys, and re-building traps are main steps for this algorithm. The new algorithm is examined by designing three truss and frame design optimization problems and its performance is further compared with various classical and advanced algorithms.
Keywords: ant lion optimizer, meta-heuristic, Optimum design, Truss structures, Frame structures
