  The Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which recently received more attention in various fields of science. The TLBO algorithm divided into two phases: Teacher phase and student phase; In the first phase a teacher tries to teach the student to improve the class level, then in the second phase, students increase their level by interacting among themselves. But, due to the lack of additional parameter to calculate the distance between the teacher and the mean of students, it is easily trapped at the local optimum and make it unable to reach the best global for some difficult problems. Since the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm has a strong exploration and it can explore all unknown places in the search space, it is an appropriate complement to improve the optimization process. Thus, based on these algorithms, they are merged to improve TLBO disadvantages for solving the structural problems. The objective function of the problems is the total weight of whole members which depends on the strength and displacement limits. Indeed, to avoid violating the limits, the penalty function applied in the form of stress and displacement limits. To show the superiority of the new hybrid algorithm to previous well-known methods, several benchmark truss structures are presented. The results of the hybrid algorithm indicate that the new algorithm has shown good performance. پرونده مقاله

  In this study, to enhance the optimization process, especially in the structural engineering field two well-known algorithms are merged together in order to achieve an improved hybrid algorithm. These two algorithms are Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Harmony Search (HS) which have been used by most researchers in varied fields of science. The hybridized algorithm is called A Discrete Hybrid Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (DHTLBO) that is applied to optimization of truss structures with discrete variables. This new method is consisted of two parts: in the first part the TLBO algorithm applied as conventional TLBO for local optimization, in the second stage the HS algorithm is applied to global optimization and exploring all the unknown places in the search space. The new hybrid algorithm is employed to minimize the total weight of structures. Therefore, the objective function consists of member’s weight, which is depends on the form of stress and deflection limits. To demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of this new algorithm several truss structures which are optimized by most researchers are presented and then their results are compared to other meta-heuristic algorithm and TLBO and HS standard algorithms. پرونده مقاله
