Harmony Search Applications in Mechanical, Chemical and Electrical Engineering

  • Chapter
Music-Inspired Harmony Search Algorithm

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 191))

Abstract

The primary aim of this chapter is to introduce the state of the art applications of the harmony search (HS) algorithm in mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering fields. The HS algorithm has been broadly utilized in complex optimization problems arising in most engineering applications. It has been reported to be a viable alternative to other conventional optimization techniques in these engineering disciplines. This chapter is intended to discuss the available literature in the field and to provide general information for those who are interested in optimized-design of thermal systems, economic utilization of electric power-systems and optimization of machining processes.
