Snail Homing and Mating Search Algorithm for Weight Optimization of Stepped-Transmission Shaft
In this paper, the steeped-transmission shaft design problem is proposed for weight optimization. The bio-inspired search-based Snail Homing and Mating Search (SHMS) algorithm is utilized to solve the problem. It is inspired by the social behaviour of snails and their inherent nature of finding better homes, and mate. The proposed steeped-transmission shaft design problem is modelled considering the fatigue loading, combined bending, torsion loads, and the principle of Modified Goodman criteria…
