Metodología para la solución de modelos Masa-Resorte-Amortiguador(MRA) mediante algoritmos de optimización global

Abstract

This article describes one way to solve the mathematical model of a system is made up of a mass-spring-dashpot (MSD), using the virtual firefly metaheuristic algorithm. Using this strategy, the MSD problems are transformed into a problem of minimization of the system’s maximum frequency for all its natural frequencies, in such a way, that the value found corresponds to the global minimum. The viability of this strategy solving some typical MSD systems was demonstrated, as shown. It was concluded that this algorithm is very helpful, because it allows to the user to dedicate more time to the analysis of the system itself, instead to the solution methods of the model. It was also helpful as a no conventional way to solve this kind of problems numerically.
