Abstract
Abstract Due to harsh competitive conditions and the transition to new vehicles such as hybrid and full-electrical, the interest in the design of light and low-cost vehicles is increasing. In this paper, a recent metaheuristic procedure which is an equilibrium optimization algorithm (EOA) is used to solve a structural design optimization problem for a vehicle seat bracket to prove how the EOA can be used in solving industrial design problems. This paper is the first application of the EAO to real-world problems in the literature. The results strongly prove the capability of the EOA for designing optimum components in the automotive industry.
