Yapay Alg Algoritmasının Tasarım Optimizasyon Problemlerindeki Performansı Üzerine Bir Çalışma: Basınç Yayı Örneği

- Makine elemanlarının optimum tasarımı mühendislikte yaygın olarak çalışılan bir araştırma konusudur. Basınç yaylarının minimum ağırlığa veya hacme göre tasarımını bu alanda en çok çalışılan problemlerden birisidir. Bu problem ayrıca optimizasyon yöntemleri için değerlendirme problemi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yapay Alg Algoritması (YAA) bir optimizasyon yöntemidir ve besin üretmek için ihtiyaç duydukları maddelere erişmek üzere ortam şartlarına uyumda doğal bir yeteneğe sahip alglerin davranışlarından esinlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, basınç yaylarının minimum hacme göre tasarımı YAA ile optimize edilmiştir ve YAA’nın problem üzerindeki başarımı incelenmiştir. YAA’nın başarımı daha önceki çalışmalarda probleme uygulanmış optimizasyon yöntemleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalar YAA’nın tasarım optimizasyon problemini tutarlı ve düşük yakınsama oranıyla birlikte başarıyla çözme yeteneğinin olduğunu göstermiştir.

A Study on the Performance of Artificial Alg Algorithm in Design Optimization Problems: Compressing Spring Example

Optimal design of machine elements is a research field studying in engineering commonly. Design of compression springs according to minimum weight or volume is one of the most studied problems in this field. The problem is also used as a benchmark problem for the optimization methods. Artificial Algae Algorithm (AAA) is an optimization technique and inspired by the behaviors of algae, which have natural skill of adaptation to environmental conditions in order to obtain substances which they need to produce nutrients. In this study, the design of compression springs with minimum volume was optimized through AAA and performance of AAA on the problem was examined. Performance of AAA were compared with the results of the optimization methods applied to the problem in previous studies. Experimental results show that AAA is capable of solving the design optimization problem successively with consistency and low convergence rate.
