Abstract

This study introduces a hybridization of the Bird Mating Optimizer (BMO) with Differential Evolution (DE). The Bird Mating Optimizer exhibits certain limitations, such as a slow convergence rate and a tendency to become trapped in local optima. To address these issues, a new method, BMO-DE, is proposed to enhance the performance of the BMO swarm intelligence algorithm. BMO-DE is a versatile swarm intelligence algorithm applicable to various engineering problems. In this research, it is specifically employed in the optimization of welded beam design, a type of problem characterized by numerous constraints. The penalty function approach is used to handle the constraints associated with welded beam design. Comparative analysis indicates that the proposed BMO-DE method outperforms other swarm intelligence algorithms in tackling this category of problems. Notably, the method demonstrates efficacy in finding optimal solutions with a low number of objective function evaluations, making it a potent and promising approach for addressing such problems.
