Abstract
In this work, a new hybrid optimization algorithm (HWW-NM), which combines the Nelder-Mead local search algorithm with the water wave algorithm, is introduced to solve real-world engineering optimization problems. This paper is one of the first studies in which both the water wave algorithm and the HWW-NM are applied to processing parameters optimization for manufacturing processes. HWW-NM performance is measured using the cantilever beam problem. Additionally, a problem for milling manufacturing optimization is posed and solved to evaluate HWW-NM performance in real-world applications. The results reveal that HWW-NM is an attractive optimization approach for optimizing real-life problems.
