A novel hybrid flow direction optimizer-dynamic oppositional based learning algorithm for solving complex constrained mechanical design problems

Abstract In this present work, mechanical engineering optimization problems are solved by employing a novel optimizer (HFDO-DOBL) based on a physics-based flow direction optimizer (FDO) and dynamic oppositional-based learning. Five real-world engineering problems, viz. planetary gear train, hydrostatic thrust bearing, robot gripper, rolling bearing, and multiple disc clutch brake, are considered. The computational results obtained by HFDO-DOBL are compared with several newly proposed algorithms. The statistical analysis demonstrates the HFDO-DOBL dominance in finding optimal solutions relatively and competitiveness in solving constraint design optimization problems.
