Applications of Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms in Civil Engineering

Abstract

In this chapter three recently developed metaheuristic optimization algorithms, known as colliding bodies optimization (CBO), enhanced colliding bodies optimization (ECBO), and tug of war optimization (TWO), are utilized for optimum nodal ordering to reduce bandwidth, profile, and wavefront of sparse matrices. The bandwidth, profile, and wavefront of some graph matrices, which have equivalent pattern to structural matrices, are minimized using these methods. Comparison of the achieved results with those of some existing approaches shows the robustness of these three new metaheuristic algorithms for bandwidth, profile, and wavefront optimization [1].
