Optimal design of multiple disc clutch brake using hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm

Abstract

In mechanical design, metaheuristic algorithm were used to find optimal design of mechanical element but in some case this methods cannot reach the optimal solution so engineer tries to surpass those limitation by developing new algorithm or modified the older one by making combination between the metaheuristic algorithm that are already exist. This process is called hybridization. Nowadays, Hybrid algorithms play a prominent role to solve real-life optimization problem and applications in the industry. In this work, we proposed a new hybrid algorithm combine two metaheuristic algorithm: the differential evolution and particle swarm optimization algorithms. The algorithm was tested on well knowing mechanical design problem and the results are compared to other optimization algorithm from literature
