Abstract
In this paper, a meta-heuristic approach called Adaptive Hybrid Harmony Search algorithm (AHHS), which is a variant of recently developed Harmony search optimisation algorithm is proposed. The harmony search is basically conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. The proposed algorithm is hybridised with a customised neighbourhood search algorithm called `Variable depth neighbourhood search', to improve its intensification mechanism. This proposed algorithm is applied to a combinatorial problem namely lay-up sequence optimisation of laminate composite stiffened cylinder. The results of the investigated numerical example, clearly illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm to handle the design of layup sequence problem.
