Abstract
This chapter presents the applications of advanced optimization algorithms such as ABC, PSO, DE, BBO and AIA to the design optimization of mechanical elements such as a simple gear train, radial ball bearing, Belleville spring, multi-plate disc clutch brake, robot gripper, hydrostatic thrust bearing and a four stage gear train. The objective functions, design variables and the constraints of each of the design optimization problems are described. The results of application of the advanced optimization algorithms are presented and the performance comparison is made between the algorithms. The results are also compared with the results given by the previous researchers.
