Abstract:

Over the past few years, swarm intelligence based optimization techniques such as ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization have received considerable attention from engineering researchers. These algorithms have been used in the solution of various structural optimization problems where the main goal is to minimize the weight of structures while satisfying all design requirements imposed by design codes. In this paper, artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is utilized to optimize different skeletal structures. The results of the ABC are compared with the results of other optimization algorithms from the literature to show the efficiency of this technique for structural design problems.

Structural optimization using artificial bee colony algorithm

This paper presents an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for structural optimization of planar and space trusses under stress, displacement and buckling constraints. In order to improve the performance of the classic ABC algorithm, modifications in neighborhood searching method, onlooker phase, and scout phase are proposed. Optimization of different typical truss structures is performed usi...

Elite Opposition-based Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Global Optimization

 Numerous problems in engineering and science can be converted into optimization problems. Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a newly developed stochastic optimization algorithm and has been widely used in many areas. However, due to the stochastic characteristics of its solution search equation, the traditional ABC algorithm often suffers from poor exploitation. Aiming at this weakness o...

Optimization of Benchmark Functions Using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm

The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is one of most popular stochastic, swarm based algorithm proposed by Karaboga in 2005 inspired from the foraging behaviour of honey bees. ABC has been applied to solve several problems in various fields and also many researchers have attempted to improve ABC’s performance by making some modifications. This paper proposes a new variant of ABC algorithm b...

Association Rules Optimization using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm with Mutation

In data mining, Association rule mining is one of the popular and simple method to find the frequent item sets from a large dataset. While generating frequent item sets from a large dataset using association rule mining, computer takes too much time. This can be improved by using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). The Artificial bee colony algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the...
