Özet

Real-world engineering design problems with complex objective functions under some constraints are relatively difficult problems to solve. Such design problems are widely experienced in many engineering fields, such as industry, automotive, construction, machinery, and interdisciplinary research. However, there are established optimization techniques that have shown effectiveness in addressing these types of issues. This research paper gives a comparative study of the implementation of seventeen new metaheuristic methods in order to optimize twelve distinct engineering design issues. The algorithms used in the study are listed as: transient search optimization mization algorithm (WOA), slime mould algorithm (SMA), harris hawks optimization (HHO), chimp optimization algorithm (AOA), aquila optimizer (AO), sine cosine algorithm (SCA), smell agent optimization (SAO), and seagull optimization algorithm (SOA), pelican optimization algorithm (POA), and coati optimization algorithm (CA). As far as we know, there is no comparative analysis of recent and popular methods against the concrete conditions of real-world engineering problems. Hence, a remarkable research guideline is presented in the study for researchers working in the fields of engineering and artificial intelligence, especially when applying the optimization methods that have emerged recently. Future research can rely on this work for a literature search on comparisons of metaheuristic optimization methods in real-world problems under similar conditions.
