This article investigates the use of Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) to solve planar and spatial trusses with design variables that are discrete. The original HHO has been used to solve continuous design variables problems. However, HHO is formulated to solve optimization problems with discrete variables in this research. HHO is a population-based metaheuristic algorithm that simulates the chasing style and the collaborative behavior of predatory birds Harris hawks. The mathematical model of HHO uses a straightforward formulation and does not require tuning of algorithmic parameters and it is a robust algorithm in exploitation. The performance of HHO is evaluated using five benchmark structural problems and the final designs are compared with ten state-of-the-art algorithms. The statistical outcomes (average and standard deviation of final designs) show that HHO is quite consistent and robust in solving truss structure optimization problems. This is an important characteristic that leads to better confidence in the final solution from a single run of the algorithm for an optimization problem. |
