Abstract

This project presents the optimization technique. Optimization of a design could be simply to minimize the cost of production or to maximize the efficiency of production. While in optimization algorithm is a strategy to find the best or an optimal solution for any real world problem such as engineering problem. This project is focused on Spiral Dynamic Optimization Algorithm (SDA) which is a natured-inspired metaheuristic concept. The algorithm was inspired by spiral phenomena in nature that commonly found in nautilis shells, whirling currents and spiral galaxy. In SDA has two specific setting parameter which are the convergence rate and the rotation rate whose values shows its trajectory. The common centre of trajectory is the best point in all search points. The search points moving toward the common centre with logarithmic spiral trajectories [1]. The algorithm is tested using several benchmark functions and is used to optimize the PI, PD and PID controller of a flexible manipulator system. The results show that the algorithm surpass the SDA and is able to tune the controller parameter to their optimum value.
