Real-world engineering design problems are widespread in various research disciplines in both industry and industry. Many optimizationalgorithms have been employed to address these kinds of problems. However, the algorithm's performance substantially reduces with the increase in the scale and difficulty of problems. Various versions of the optimization methods have been proposed to address the engineering design problems in the literature efficiently. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the meta-heuristicoptimization methods that have been used to solve engineering design problems is proposed. We use six main keywords in collecting the data (meta-heuristic, optimization, algorithm, engineering, design, and problems). It is worth mentioning that there is no survey or comparative analysis paper on this topic available in the literature to the best of our knowledge. The state-of-the-art methods are presented in detail over several categories, including basic, modified, and hybrid methods. Moreover, we present the results of the state-of-the-art methods in this domain to figure out which version of optimization methods performs better in solving the problems studied. Finally, we provide remarkable future research directions for the potential methods. This work covers the main important topics in the engineering and artificial intelligence domain. It presents a large number of published works in the literature related to the meta-heuristicoptimization methods in solving various engineering design problems. Future researches can depend on this review to explore the literature on meta-heuristicoptimization methods and engineering design problems.

The cultivation of soil for supply of nutritional products necessary for human life is called agriculture. Although agriculture is very important for human beings, it is getting more difficult day by day to cultivate soil efficiently for various reasons. One of the main causes, which significantly prevents sustainable agriculture, is land fragmentation. Land consolidation is one of the important measures taken in order to prevent further fragmentation of agricultural land and the decrease in yield obtained from agriculture. The land consolidation process consists of several time consuming steps. Interview, today conducted manually in Turkey, is the stage where preferences of landowners are taken. These preferences correspond to the blocks that enterprises want their parcels to be placed at the end of consolidation. The interview phase takes a long time as it is carried out manually by a technician. Various studies have been done to improve the land consolidation, but most of these studies focus on other stages of process. In this study, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II and multi objective particle swarm optimization are applied on the interview problem. The interview problem is a discrete structure optimization problem, thus its solution with traditional methods is difficult and time consuming. Preference lists are generated automatically using optimizationalgorithms. These lists are compared with the actual interview lists created by the technician. The experimental results confirm the success of algorithms in solving the real world problem.

In this study, elliptical antenna arrays (EAAs) with low maximum side lobe levels (MSLs) and fixed half-power beam width has been synthesized with novel meta-heuristic methods, namely, Archimedes optimization Algorithm (AOA) and Chimp optimization Algorithm (ChOA). In order to use the communication systems effectively and efficiently in recent years, application-specific antenna designs have become more important. In this specialization in wireless communication, interest in the optimum design of EAA specially designed for the application has increased. Two different cases are discussed in this study. In the first case, the angular position of the EAA elements are fixed and the amplitude values are optimally determined by AOA and ChOA methods to obtained radiation patterns with reduced MSLs. Assuming that the elements in the antenna array are fed uniformly and the current amplitude values are all one, the angular positions of the elements are found by the proposed novel optimization methods to minimize MSLs in the second case. To test the flexibility and performance of the proposed methods, three different designs of the 8, 12 and 20 elements EAA are considered. The results of the AOA and ChOA methods are compared with the current results obtained by Antlion Optimisation and Symbiotic Organisms Search in the literature. In addition, the statistical performances of the proposed methods are compared. It has been observed that generally the results obtained with the AOA method are better than other compared methods.

Determining the optimum design of shell and tube heat exchangers (STHE) is a crucial issue for the efficient use of scarce energy resources. In particular, there is a great effort on the economic-based optimization of STHE. The most well-known STHE design in the literature is the one presented by Sinnot et al. This design problem has been addressed by many researchers with different optimizationalgorithms. In the first part of this study, an optimization study was conducted using a limited set of algorithms for the same optimization problem. In order to make comparisons, the objective function, decision variables and their boundary values were taken as the same. Initial findings showed that the results were quite close to each other, contrary to the literature. It was determined that the variability in the results of previous studies was due to differences in the mathematical model and incorrect optimization procedure. In the second part of the study, a comprehensive algorithm performance analysis of twenty meta-heuristic optimization algorithms was performed. This study aimed to perform algorithm performance for STHE optimization by integrating a fair evaluation approach. It also offers a robust framework for effectively using and comparing optimizationalgorithms in thermal engineering applications.

The investigations related to the planar antenna array have attracted much attention due to their vast applications in the areas of advanced wireless communication and electromagnetics. This article presents an effective synthesis method of a sparsely thinned symmetric planar antenna array using three well-known meta-heuristics including symbiotic organism search (SOS) algorithm, moth fly optimization (MFO), and multi-verse optimization (MVO) algorithms. The main aim of this work is to optimize the positions of the switched-on antenna elements on the array aperture in order to reduce the value of side-lobe levels in the radiation field pattern in multiple planes for a desired first null beam width and subsequently to obtain the maximum reduced number of array-elements in the antenna array. Two different cases are performed to optimize the radiation pattern in different azimuth angles with two different examples. The proposed methods can constrain the total number of array elements, inter-element distance, and aperture area of the array. The radiation pattern characteristic and computation time linked with each example and each algorithm are recorded and compared with each other as well as with a fully populated planar symmetric rectangular array antenna of same aperture size for arriving at the conclusion. The simulation-based results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design and the efficiency of the performance using the SOS algorithm. This article presents an effective synthesis of sparsely thinned symmetric planar antenna array using novel implementation of three famous meta-heuristics, namely, symbiotic organism search (SOS), moth fly optimization (MFO), and multi-verse optimization (MVO) algorithms. The aim of this work is to optimize the positions of switched-on antenna elements on the array aperture for optimizing the side-lobe levels in the radiation pattern in multiple planes. The simulation-based results establish the superiority of the propose

Efficient wind speed forecasting is crucial for operations, optimizations, and decision-making interventions in wind energy systems. However, capturing nonlinearity and relevant information from the wind speed data poses challenges in developing efficient wind speed forecasting models. The present study proposes a novel hybrid ensemble wind speed forecasting model based on signal decomposition, deep learning model, and hyperparameter optimization for short-term applications to improve the model performances. This study comprises a novel architecture, a novel hybrid ensemble wind speed forecasting model, a two-level optimization strategy, and a transfer learning approach. The present study consists of three stages: model development, validation, and transfer learning. The proposed model employs wavelet transform, deep learning models such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and a combined model using Convolutional Neural Network and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-BiLSTM) and meta-heuristic optimization algorithms. The novel architecture of the CNN-BiLSTM model is capable of exhibiting better results than baseline models. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithms are explored to optimize the model hyperparameters. The ensemble weights of the proposed model are optimized through a DE algorithm. The model implementation is presented through a transfer learning technique using pre-trained models from the model development and validation phases. The model comparison results indicate that the proposed models outperform these models. The transfer learning results of Proposed Model-1 (PM-1) are Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)- 0.1943 m/s, Mean Squared Error (MSE)- 0.0378 m/s, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) 0.1542 m/s, coefficient of determination (R2)- 0.9883, and Index of Agreement (IA)- 0.9997. The Proposed Model-2 (PM-2) is 0.1554 m/s (RMSE), 0.0241 m/s (

Heat removal, maximizing torque, minimizing losses, volume, cost, and temperature effect play essential roles in electrical vehicle applications. An inner-rotor consequent-pole permanent magnet synchronous machine (CPPMSM) merits suitable losses, cost, and heat rejection. Hence, first, a two-dimensional model of CPPMSM is explained based on solving Maxwell's equations in all regions of the machine. Then, all the components of torque, back-EMF, inductance, and unbalanced magnetic forces in the direction of the X-axis and Y-axis and their magnitudes are calculated. Afterward, the overload capability and the torque-speed characteristic are determined based on the average torque. Therefore, to maximize the torque/volume ratio, four metaheuristicoptimizationalgorithms, including Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution (DE), and Teaching Learn Base optimization (TLBO), have been implemented, and the mentioned index is optimized. Since the said algorithms usually can minimize, its inverse is minimized instead of the index mentioned above being maximized. At this stage, the effect of three types of magnetization patterns, i.e., radial, parallel, and bar magnet in shifting, is also considered. The flux density of the permanent magnet changes concerning temperature. Finally, the effect of these changes on cogging, reluctance, and instantaneous torque, as well as back-EMF, unbalance magnetic force (UMF), torque-speed characteristic, and overload capability diagram, will be analyzed. The simulation was performed using MATLAB software.

GSO algorithm is used to discover the best solution over a set of candidate solution to solve any optimization problem by determining the minimum or maximum objective function for a specific problem. meta-heuristicoptimizations, nature-inspired algorithms, have become an interesting area because of their rule in solving various decision-making problems. The general procedures of the GSO algorithm are explained alongside with the algorithm variants such as basic versions, discrete versions, and modified versions. Moreover, the applications of the GSO algorithm are given in detail such as benchmark function, classification, networking, engineering, and other problems. Finally, according to the analyzed papers published in the literature by the all publishers such as IEEE, Elsevier, and Springer, the GSO algorithm is mostly used in solving various optimization problems. In addition, it got comparative and promising results compared to other similar published optimization algorithm.

This study's main objective is to propose a hybrid machine learning model based on a gradient boosting algorithm named LightGBM and an artificial ecosystem-based optimization to improve the accuracy of forest fire susceptibility assessment. Four hundred twenty-six historical forest fires from the NASA portal and thirteen conditional factors including elevation, aspect, slope, curvature, normalized difference vegetation index, normalized difference water index, distance to residence, distance to road, distance to river, temperature, rain, humidity, and wind were used to train the model. The model performance was evaluated and compared with other benchmark models using root mean square error, area under receiver operating characteristics (AUC), and overall accuracy. The results show that the proposed model (AUC = 0.9705) outperforms others, such as Random Forest (AUC = 0.958), AdaBoost (AUC = 0.905), Bagging (AUC = 0.945), and Random Subspace (AUC = 0.938), respectively. The final model was interpreted to better understand the most influential factors of forest fire hazards. Study Implications: This study's main objective is to propose a hybrid machine learning model based on a gradient boosting algorithm called LightGBM and an artificial ecosystem-based optimization to improve the accuracy of forest fire susceptibility assessment. The final model was interpreted using the Shapley (SHAP) values to understand how input factors are related to the fire susceptibility level. This study fills a gap in the research literature, searching for optimal algorithms to improve forest fire susceptibility mapping.
