Popis: Optimization means the demonstration of detecting the optimal outcome under specific circumstances. Engineers need to take numerously specialized as well as supervisory decisions in various design phases, construction, and industrial system maintenance. The main target of every such decision is either to restrain the work necessitated or raise the profit. As the profit wanted or the work required in any situation of real world can be expressed as a specific decision variable’s function, optimization can be characterized as the way towards discovering the conditions that provide maximum or minimum function values. Complex problems of optimization while solving with traditional numerical methods had mathematical downsides. This is the reason because of which researchers had to be dependent on meta-heuristic techniques. Meta-heuristics have turned out to be amazingly usual due to its local optima avoidance, simplicity and flexibility characteristics. IGWO is a new meta-heuristic inspired by grey wolves. In this paper, the implementation of improved grey wolf optimization is done for the optimization of pressure vessel design and welded beam design that have various salient engineering applications. The comparison of achieved results with some other approaches reveals the efficacy of IGWO algorithm to solve these significant mechanical engineering design optimization problems.
