Biologically inspired algorithms are becoming powerful in modern optimization. In this paper, the principles of a metaheuristic algorithm based on Harris hawks behavior are shown. The Harris Hawks Optimizer (HHO in short) was used for solving problems in applied mechanics (car side impact, cone clutch, three-dimensional beam and I beam optimization). In the end, a comparison of the results obtained by HHO and results obtained by other methods is given.

Key words: Harris hawks, optimization, car side impact, cone clutch, three dimensional beam, I beam.
