Abstract
These days, optimization algorithms are widely used to tackle issues in a variety of scientific domains. The natural behavior of an agent - which could be a physical or chemical agent, a human, an animal, or a plant - is typically the source of inspiration for optimization algorithms. Animal behavior served as the inspiration for the majority of algorithms that have been proposed in the past ten years. The wild horse optimizer (WHO), an optimizer algorithm inspired by the social behavior of wild horses, is used in this paper to identify damage to space truss constructions. As we know, a stallion and a number of mares and foals typically make up a group of horses. Horses engage in a variety of activities, including grazing, pursuing, leading, dominating, and mating. The decency of horses is an intriguing trait that sets them apart from other animals. The offspring of the horse leave the group before they reach adolescence and join other groups due to horse descent behavior. The purpose of this departure is to stop the father from mating with the daughter or siblings. The key to WHO was established. In addition, based on finite element analysis to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of these space truss structures for the goal of establishing the objective function, the final results demonstrate a very good reaction to the suggested tasks.
