In this paper, a new optimization algorithm called the search and rescue optimization algorithm (SAR) is proposed for solving single-objective continuous optimization problems. SAR is inspired by the explorations carried out by humans during search and rescue operations. The performance of SAR was evaluated on fifty-five optimization functions including a set of classic benchmark functions and a set of modern CEC 2013 benchmark functions from the literature. The obtained results were compared with twelve optimization algorithms including well-known optimization algorithms, recent variants of GA, DE, CMA-ES, and PSO, and recent metaheuristic algorithms. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for some of the comparisons, and the convergence behavior of SAR was investigated. The statistical results indicated SAR is highly competitive with the compared algorithms. Also, in order to evaluate the application of SAR on real-world optimization problems, it was applied to three engineering design problems, and the results revealed that SAR is able to find more accurate solutions with fewer function evaluations in comparison with the other existing algorithms. Thus, the proposed algorithm can be considered an efficient optimization method for real-world optimization problems.

Ant colony optimization has been become a very useful method for combination optimization problems. Based on close connections between combination optimization and continuous optimization, nowadays some scholars have studied to apply ant colony optimization to continuous optimization problems, and proposed some continuous ant colony optimizations. To improve the performance of those continuous ant colony optimizations, here the principles of evolutionary algorithm and artificial immune algorithm have been combined with the typical continuous Ant Colony Optimization, and the adaptive Cauchi mutation and thickness selection are used to operate the ant individual, so a new Immunized Ant Colony Optimization is proposed.

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.
