Abstract

This paper proposes a new Multi-Objective Plasma Generation Optimization (MOPGO)algorithm, and its non-dominated sorting mechanism is investigated for numerous challenging real-worldstructural optimization design problems. The Plasma Generation Optimization (PGO) algorithm is a recentlyreported physics-based algorithm inspired by the generation process of plasma in which electron movementand its energy level are based on excitation modes, de-excitation, and ionization processes. As the searchprogresses, a better balance between exploration and exploitation has a more significant impact on the results;thus, the crowding distance feature is incorporated in the proposed MOPGO algorithm. Also, the proposedposteriori method exercises a non-dominated sorting strategy to preserve population diversity, which is acrucial problem in multi-objective meta-heuristic algorithms. In truss design problems, minimization of thetruss’s mass and maximization of nodal displacement are considered objective functions. In contrast, elemental stress and discrete cross-sectional areas are assumed to be behavior and side constraints, respectively.The usefulness of MOPGO to solve complex problems is validated by eight truss-bar design problems. Theefficacy of MOPGO is evaluated based on ten performance metrics. The results demonstrate that the proposedMOPGO algorithm achieves the optimal solution with less computational complexity and has a betterconvergence, coverage, diversity, and spread. The Pareto fronts of MOPGO are compared and contrasted withmulti-objective passing vehicle search algorithm, multi-objective slime mould algorithm, multi-objectivesymbiotic organisms search algorithm, and multi-objective ant lion optimization algorithm.
