Muralidhara Rao Journal on Structural Engineering 2320 - 2343 6 1 16 27 Firefly, Meta-heuristics, Parameters, Optimization, Tuning, Continuum Structures This paper is a continuation of the research work on Topology optimization of continuum structures using Firefly Algorithm. Tuning of parameters for meta-heuristic algorithms have been one of the emerging areas of research. The goal is to find a global minimum for an optimization problem in a d-dimensional space. Complex domains in structural engineering may require tuning of parameters to reduce the overall computational effort. In this paper, the main focus is on finding an optimum set of parameters required to perform topology optimization for a design domain. Few problems in the literature have been solved and the results were compared. March - May 2017 Copyright © 2017 i-manager publications.
