Abstract
Abstract In this article, a newly developed optimization approach based on a mathematics technique named the geometric mean optimization algorithm is employed to address the optimization challenge of the robot gripper, airplane bracket, and suspension arm of automobiles, followed by an additional three engineering problems. Accordingly, other challenges are the ten-bar truss, three-bar truss, tubular column, and spring systems. As a result, the algorithm demonstrates promising statistical outcomes when compared to other well-established algorithms. Additionally, it requires less iteration to achieve the global optimum solution. Furthermore, the algorithm exhibits minimal deviations in results, even when other techniques produce better or similar outcomes. This suggests that the proposed approach in this paper can be effectively utilized for a wide range of critical industrial and real-world engineering challenges.
