Özet

In this study, the behaviours of an insect species called cricket were investigated and tried to develop a new meta-heuristic algorithm approach that may be used in solving optimization problems by modelling these behaviours. These insect species make a sound by flapping their wings and attract the other crickets around them. While creating this algorithm, the physics laws related to propagation of sound as well as the crickets ability to predict the temperature with the number of flaps were also considered. The approach performance was tried to be shown by applying the developed approach at the end of the study to both numeric problems and cantilever stepped and welded beam that are of system design optimization problems.
