In modern in situ composite fabrication processes, the selection of optimal process parameters is greatly important for the preparation of best quality metal matrix composite. For achieving high-quality composite, an efficient optimization technique is essential. The present study explores the potential of a new robust algorithm named teaching–learning-based optimization algorithm for in situ process parameter optimization problems in fabrication of Al-4.5%Cu–TiC metal matrix composite fabricated by stir casting technique. Optimization process is carried out for optimizing the in situ processing parameters i.e. pouring temperature, stirring speed, reaction time for achieving better mechanical properties, i.e. better microhardness, toughness, and ultimate tensile strength. Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal array design of experiment was used for performing the experiments. Grey relational analysis is used for the conversion of the multiobjective function into a single objective function, which is being used as the objective function in the teaching–learning-based optimization algorithm. Confirmation test results show that the developed teaching–learning-based optimization model is a very efficient and robust approach for engineering materials process parameter optimization problems.

A latest optimization algorithm, named Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (simply TLBO) was proposed by R. V. Rao et al, at 2011. Afterwards, some improvements and practical applications have been conducted toward TLBO algorithm. However, as far as our knowledge, there are no such works which categorize the current works concerning TLBO from the algebraic and analytic points of view. Hence, in this paper we firstly introduce the concepts and algorithms of TLBO, then survey the running mechanism of TLBO for dealing with the real-parameter optimization problems, and finally group its real-world applications with a categorizing framework based on the clustering, multi-objective optimization, parameter optimization, and structure optimization. The main advantage of this work is to help the users employ TLBO without knowing details of this algorithm. Meanwhile, we also give an experimental comparison for demonstrating the effectiveness of TLBO on 5 benchmark evaluation functions and conclude this work by identifying trends and challenges of TLBO research and development.

The teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm has been applied to many optimization problems, but its theoretical basis is relatively weak, its control parameters are difficult to choose, and it converges slowly in the late period and makes it too early to mature. To overcome these shortcomings, this article proposes a dual-population co-evolution teaching and learning optimization algorithm (DPCETLBO) in which adaptive learning factors and a multi-parent non-convex hybrid elite strategy are introduced for a population with high fitness values to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm, while an opposition-based learning algorithm with polarization is introduced for a population with lower fitness values to improve the global search ability of the algorithm. In a proportion integration differentiation (PID) parameter optimization experiment, the simulation results indicate that the convergence of the DPCETLBO algorithm is fast and precise, and its global search ability is superior to those of the TLBO, ETLBO and PSO algorithms.

When solving multi-objective optimization problems, an important issue is how to promote convergence and distribution simultaneously. To address the above issue, a novel optimization algorithm, named as multi-objective modified teaching-learning-based optimization (MOMTLBO), is proposed. Firstly, a grouping teaching strategy based on pareto dominance relationship is proposed to strengthen the convergence efficiency. Afterward, a diversified learning strategy is presented to enhance the distribution. Meanwhile, differential operations are incorporated to the proposed algorithm. By the above process, the search ability of the algorithm can be encouraged. Additionally, a set of well-known benchmark test functions including ten complex problems proposed for CEC2009 is used to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that MOMTLBO exhibits competitive performance against other comparison algorithms. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the aerodynamic optimization of airfoils.
