An Enhanced Hybrid Jaya Algorithm for Size Optimization of Truss Structure Under Frequency Constraints

This paper proposed an enhanced hybrid Jaya algorithm, called AEHJ. The proposed AEHJ is a new improvisation of the Jaya algorithm (Jaya) and the differential evolution algorithm (DE) with two modifications. Firstly, the local search is improved by using DE/best/1, DE/best/2, and Jaya operators. Secondly, an elitist selection approach is used for choosing the best solution for the next population. For validating the feasibility of AEHJ, the well-known benchmark example of size optimization for a 10-bar truss is performed.
