Abstract
In this study, the dandelion optimizer (DO) is examined for the optimum design of structures. The results of the optimization process show that DO does not have good performance in the optimum design of the steel frames. In order to overcome this issue, the enhanced version of the DO (named EDO) is presented in this study. Statistical regeneration mechanism (SRM) is utilized in the EDO. The statistical regeneration mechanism (SRM) increases the exploration of the DO in the early iterations and its exploitation in the later iterations. The performance of the EDO is tested in using the three steel frame benchmark examples. The outcome demonstrates that EDO has better performance than DO in these problems. Also, EDO has better performance than some of other improved metaheuristic algorithms utilized in this paper for comparison.
