CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
• Harmony Search (HS) is a recently developed algorithm which
imitates the music improvisation process.
• Developed by Zong Woo Geem
• Department of Energy, Gachon University, South Korea
COMPARISON FACTORS
Audience Satisfaction → Objective Function
Musical Inst. → Decision Variable
Pitch Range → Value Range
Practice → Iteration
Experience → Memory Matrix
Best Harmony → Solution Vector
PARAMETERS IN HSA

• Harmony Memory Size (HMS)

• No. of New Harmonies
• Harmony Memory Consideration Rate (HMCR)
• Pitch Adjusting Rate (PAR)
• Fret Width (Band Width)
• Maximum No. of Iterations
HSA PROCESS
APPLICATION
• Structural Dynamics
• Optimum Position of the Damper
• Optimum Properties of Damper (HSA)
Stiffness
Damping Coefficient
• Objective Function
• Unconstrained Problem
• Range – 0 to 10*E+07
 Displacement (cm)

Cd (N-m/s)
Questions

1. No.of Musical Instruments represents (Analogy)

2. If bandwidth is more than 1, the solution is

3. If HMCR is 100% (How it will Affect the Convergence of HSA)

4. If PAR is 0% (How it will Affect the Convergence of HSA)

5. If you increase the no. of new harmonies what will happen (Convergence of
HSA)
