Abstract
This research presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of optimization techniques for achieving the optimal design of cellular beams. The incorporation of gaps within cellular beams reduces the weight of the beam and increases section height, resulting in the production of lighter and stronger sections. The Taguchi method is employed to fine-tune the parameters of the Grey Wolf Optimizer, enabling the achievement of a robust design. The performance of each algorithm is evaluated through three design examples, facilitating comprehensive comparisons among the seven algorithms. Moreover, the study encompasses the modeling and analysis of optimally designed cellular beams using finite element software. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
