The present paper proposes self-adaptive multi-population elitist (SAMPE) Rao algorithms and chaotic Rao algorithms for design optimization of selected mechanical engineering components. The proposed algorithms are applied to 25 benchmark problems and 15mechanical engineering design optimization problems to examine their performance. The Friedman rank test is utilized to demonstrate the significance of the proposed algorithms and the algorithms are ranked according to their performance. The results obtained using the proposed algorithms are compared with the results obtained using other advanced optimization algorithms to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. It is observed that the performance of the proposed algorithms is either better or competitive to the basic Rao algorithms and the other advanced optimization algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
