Description for Harmony Search Algorithms for Structural Design Optimization
Hardback. Researchers have lately applied the metaheuristic algorithm Harmony search to handle discrete design variables for various structures such as buildings and bridges. This book gathers all the latest developments of Harmony search algorithm in structural design. Editor(s): Geem, Zong Woo. Series: Studies in Computational Intelligence. Num Pages: 234 pages, 75 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: TBC; TBD; TN; UYQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 1140.
Various structures, such as buildings, bridges, and paved roads play an important role in our lives. However, these construction projects require large expenditures. Designing infrastructure cost-efficiently while satisfying all necessary design constraints is one of the most important and difficult tasks for a structural engineer. Traditionally, mathematical gradient-based optimization techniques have been applied to these designs. However, these gradient-based methods are not suitable for discrete design variables such as factory-made cross sectional area of structural members. Recently, researchers have turned their interest to phenomenon-mimicking optimization techniques because these techniques have proved able to efficiently handle discrete design variables. One of ...
