TITLE
Artificial Neural Network Model for Optimum Design of Tubular Columns
ABSTRACT
In structural engineering problems, an optimum design is also a must like safety and comfort. Most of the structural optimization problems are non-linear and cannot be mathematically solved. For that reason, iterative methods like the use of a metaheuristic algorithm are generally used. The optimization process may last too long. In the present study, a prediction system based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) was developed for the cost optimization of tubular column by learning with optimum result found according to flower pollination algorithm. According to the result, the ANNs model is effective to find close solutions to optimum values obtained by the employed optimization method.
