An Extended Artificial Neural Network Assisted Hybrid Harris Hawks and Whale Optimizer to Find Optimal Solution for Engineering Design Problems

Abstract

The algorithms that have been developed recently have decorous behavior to solve and find optimum solution to various optimization problems in search space. Withal such calculations stuck in issues nearby quest space for compelled engineering problems. In succession to achieve an optimal solution a hybrid algorithmic approach is proffered. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is considered as better solution for the known outputs. A hybrid variant of applying ANN on Harris Hawks and Whale Optimization Algorithm (ANNHHOWOA) is proposed to achieve effective solution for engineering problems. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is tested for various non-linear, non-convex and standard engineering problems and to approve consequences of proposed algorithm standard benchmarks and multidisciplinary design problems have been considered. The validation endorsed that the results shown by ANNHHOWOA showed much better results than individual ANN, HHO and WOA and its effectiveness on multidisciplinary engineering problems.
