Abstract

This paper introduces an improved optimization algorithm based on migration patterns of greylag geese, known for their efficient flying formations. The Modified Greylag Goose Optimization Algorithm (MGGOA) is modified by augmenting the levy flight mechanism and artificial neural network (ANN) strategies. The algorithm is detailed, presenting mathematical formulations for both phases. Subsequently, the paper applies the MGGOA to various engineering optimization problems, including heat exchanger design, car side impact design, spring design optimization, disc clutch brake optimization, and structural optimization of an automobile component. Statistical comparisons with benchmark algorithms demonstrate the efficacy of MGGOA in finding optimal solutions for these design engineering problems.

1 Introduction

Optimization algorithms play a pivotal role in various engineering disciplines, facilitating the design and improvement of complex systems and structures [1], [2], [3], [4]. Swarm-based algorithms have gained prominence in recent years. Accordingly, several benchmark algorithms are utilized for performance evaluations and validation of new proposed algorithms. Moreover, Figure 1 shows the benchmark algorithms vis-a-vis the latest optimizers proposed in the domain of MHs.

Metaheuristics is able to handle several critical constraints for achieving global optimization of the various applications and challenges. However, augmenting several performance improvement techniques may realize better convergence and a significant balance between the exploration and exploitation phase of the algorithm. Accordingly, artificial neural networks (ANN), chaotic maps, levy flight mechanisms, oppositional learning techniques, and hybridization of algorithms are some of the best techniques for improving algorithm performance [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. ANN works on the imaginary brain neurons that enable all inputs from each search domain and create a domain of all possible outcomes considering best to worst. This can provide excellent search techniques vis-a-vis global optimum solutions prior to trapping in local optima by any metaheuristic algorithm.

Despite the effectiveness of existing optimization algorithms, there remains room for improvement, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by complex engineering design problems [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57]. Inspired by the collective behavior and migration patterns of greylag geese, we propose a modified optimization algorithm, namely the Modified Greylag Goose Optimization Algorithm (MGGOA), which combines elements of exploration and exploitation to efficiently search for optimal solutions in design engineering problems. Through an enhanced comprehension of the MGGOA and its application to various engineering optimization tasks, the aim of this paper is to contribute robust optimization algorithms for solving complex design problems in engineering and related fields.

In this paper, we introduce a modified optimization algorithm inspired by the migration patterns of greylag geese, known for their efficient flying formations. The Modified Greylag Goose Optimization Algorithm (MGGOA) combines elements of exploration and exploitation, leveraging insights from the behavior of these birds to tackle design engineering problems. The following sections provide an enhanced comprehension of the MGGOA and its application to various optimization tasks in engineering.

2 Enhanced comprehension of MGGOA- modified Greylag Goose Optimization Algorithm

Greylag geese are well-known birds, especially for their migrating capabilities over thousands of kilometers over a single day. They migrate across different countries according to the season. They form a special V-shaped pattern while flying in the sky, which enables them to improve their efficiency by 70 % compared to individual traveling due to optimizing air resistance by maintaining such a pattern. The Greylag Goose Optimization (GGO) algorithm was developed based on inspiration from these goose migrations and the special techniques observed, putting this algorithm into the swarm-based algorithm category. The sub-section further gives information regarding the mathematical background of the studied algorithm.

2.1 Exploration phase of GGO

In this phase, geese try to identify the best location within their nearby location (search domain) for a promising location and reputedly compare it with the present location to avoid worst location identification. The updated position of geese can be given by Equation (1) [16].

(1) X t + 1 = X * t A C . X * t X t

The best/leader solution and updated position of the goose can be denoted as X *(t) and X(t+1), respectively. Also, A and C are vectors that are updated during the algorithm’s iteration process. The position of the exploring geese can be updated by updating the position of randomly selected three geese (paddling) in a group that can be given by Equation (2) [16].

(2) X t + 1 = w 1 X paddle 1 + z w 2 X paddle 2 X paddle 3 + 1 z w 3 X X paddle 1

2.2 Exploitation phase of GGOA

In this phase, geese employ two prime techniques: shifting in the direction of an effective solution and exploring the area within the domain of the best solution. Equations (3) and (4) effectively give a mathematical form of updating the position in the exploitation phase and exploring the space within the best solution, respectively [16].

X 1 = X sentry 1 A 1 C 1 X sentry 1 X

(3) X 2 = X sentry 2 A 2 C 1 X sentry 2 X

X 3 = X sentry 3 A 3 C 1 X sentry 3 X

Geese continuously identify an effective location from the current best position for the betterment of food. Accordingly, the same strategy can be written in mathematical form as per Equation (4) [16].

(4) X t + 1 = x t + D 1 + z × w × X X flock

2.3 Modification of GGO algorithm

The studied GGO algorithm may provide locally converged solutions and cannot identify effectively globally optimized solutions for critical engineering problems. To overcome the stated difficulties, the GGO algorithm is modified by augmenting the levy flight mechanism and artificial neural network (ANN) strategies. Accordingly, the levy flight strategy helps the algorithm explore the search space effectively, whereas ANN can improve search and optimization options effectively.

3 Application of modified GGO algorithm for engineering and structural components

In this section, four different applications are considered for the testing purpose of the modified GGO algorithm. Apart from this, benchmark algorithms test the statistical results obtained with published results from the literature. Some of the studied components are heat exchanger design, car side impact testing and optimization, spring optimization, and an automobile component for structural optimization. The results are compared with recent optimizers such as Harris Hawks optimizer (HHO), water wave optimizer (WWO), etc.

3.1 Optimization of rolling element bearing for load-carrying capacity

Fluctuating loads, Von-mises stress, and pressure are the parameters that affect bearing fatigue life, vibration level, and failure the most.

Figure 2 shows a computerized view of bearing with design variables. Table 1 compares well-known algorithms for optimized design variables and statistical data. This being said the MGGO algorithm realizes effective results for objective functions with optimum deviation in the data compared to other optimizers.

3.5 Structural optimization of automobile components using MGGOA

The automobile structural component is optimized using the MGGO algorithm. The following steps are effectively employed for the volume and structural optimization of vehicle brackets.

  • Step 1: Initialize population parameters

  • Step 2: Generate set-design sets using the latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method

  • Step 3: Finite element analysis is employed to generate the objective function and constraints at the initial stage of sampling.

  • Step 4: Construct response surface models (RSM) using simulation results to establish relationships between objective/constraint functions and design variables

  • Step 5: Implement optimization using metaheuristic optimization algorithms based on obtained metamodels, such as the MGGOA

  • Step 6: Obtain optimal solution and terminate optimization when termination condition is met

Volume reduction by structural optimization of vehicle brackets is pursued using MGGOA optimizer in this section. The optimization problem aims to minimize structural mass while satisfying stress constraints by searching for optimal structural shapes represented by design variables (x). Mathematically, it can be modeled as given by Equations (5)(7) [56].

(5) F x = mass x

Constraints:

(6) g x 0

(7) x i l x i x i u , i = 1 , NDV,

Initial design configurations and limiting conditions can be depicted in Figures 6 and 7, respectively. Initially, topology optimization was conducted by keeping volume constraints in mind. Accordingly, Figure 8 shows the redesigned bracket by considering manufacturing constraints. Shape optimization of the automobile bracket is achieved using the MGGOA algorithm with design parameters x 1, x 2, x 3, and x 4, as depicted in Figure 9. The upper and lower boundaries for these variables are set as follows: 50 < x 1 < 78, 60 < x 2 < 100, 180 < x 3 < 265, and 98 < x 4 < 180, with units in millimeters. The optimized bracket design using MGGOA is shown in Figure 10.

3.6 Thermal optimization of fin and tube heat exchanger

The economic optimization of fin and tube heat exchangers (FTHE) is investigated in this section. Heat exchangers (HEs) are heat recovery devices preferred in various industries due to their extensive heat duty capabilities. A representation of FTHE is shown in Figure 11. The specific use to reduce the temperature of the water-processed air is considered when optimizing the FTHE. The specific parametric conditions are the expected air temperature (51 °C) at the output and the inlet water and hot air temperatures (40 °C and 104 °C). The volumetric fluxes of water and air are maintained at 39 and 58 kg/s, respectively.

Figure 11: 
Fin and tube heat exchangers, (a) heat exchanger design; (b) parameters for the study.
Figure 11:

Fin and tube heat exchangers, (a) heat exchanger design; (b) parameters for the study.

The overall cost of the heat exchanger is optimized and selected as the aim function. Therefore, while determining the final economic parameters, the initial cost of the FTHE as well as any maintenance or handling charges are considered. The tier ranges and values of the seven choice variables that affect the design and several complex constraints that are taken into account for the optimization of the FTHE are given in [58]. The mathematical model for cost optimization that is being considered is explained as follows [58].

In this research, a special optimizer called MGGOA was used to analyze optimization of the FTHE. To ensure the MGGOA’s performance, the outcomes were also compared to a few benchmark algorithms that have been published in the literature. Table 10 demonstrates that MGGOA produces the best results (at the lowest cost). Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the results of the FTHE problem show a substantially smaller target standard deviation for the MGGOA. Additionally, the goal function’s best values equal 3,466.91.
