Abstract
This study presents a novel metaheuristic optimization algorithm for complex multiobjective engineering problems. By integrating advanced population and nondominated sorting techniques into the existing single-objective enterprise development algorithm, this new multiobjective approach effectively identifies Pareto-optimal solutions. The algorithm leverages these techniques to explore engineering solutions within multiobjective search spaces. We evaluated its performance using 29 multiobjective mathematical benchmark problems and conducted a comparative analysis against ten established metaheuristic optimization algorithms. The results demonstrate that the algorithm produces highly accurate approximations of Pareto-optimal fronts while maintaining a uniform distribution of solutions. Additionally, the algorithm was applied to real-world engineering challenges, including the optimization of structures such as the 942-bar tower, the 1536-bar double-layer barrel vault, and the 1410-bar double-layer dome truss, with the primary objectives of minimizing both structural weight and maximum nodal deflection. The findings highlight the algorithm's effectiveness in solving practical engineering problems and consistently achieving optimal Pareto fronts.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematical Modelling focuses on research related to the mathematical modelling of engineering and environmental processes, manufacturing, and industrial systems. A significant emerging area of research activity involves multiphysics processes, and contributions in this area are particularly encouraged.
This influential publication covers a wide spectrum of subjects including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, and transport phenomena; solid mechanics and mechanics of metals; electromagnets and MHD; reliability modelling and system optimization; finite volume, finite element, and boundary element procedures; modelling of inventory, industrial, manufacturing and logistics systems for viable decision making; civil engineering systems and structures; mineral and energy resources; relevant software engineering issues associated with CAD and CAE; and materials and metallurgical engineering.
Applied Mathematical Modelling is primarily interested in papers developing increased insights into real-world problems through novel mathematical modelling, novel applications or a combination of these. Papers employing existing numerical techniques must demonstrate sufficient novelty in the solution of practical problems. Papers on fuzzy logic in decision-making or purely financial mathematics are normally not considered. Research on fractional differential equations, bifurcation, and numerical methods needs to include practical examples. Population dynamics must solve realistic scenarios. Papers in the area of logistics and business modelling should demonstrate meaningful managerial insight. Submissions with no real-world application will not be considered.
