Optimization of Metal Forming and Machining Processes

  • Chapter
Modeling of Metal Forming and Machining Processes

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials and Processes ((EMP))

Abstract

The aim of every engineer is to carry out optimization. We keep on optimizing many things even without using any optimization techniques. One can find endless number of problems in metal forming and machining where optimization can play a major role. The task of the optimization can be divided into three main subtasks:

  1. (1)

    Formulation of the statement of the optimization problem in terms of the objective function and constraints.

  2. (2)

    Developing the mathematical model for obtaining the objective function and constraints as a function of the design (decision) variables whose value one needs to determine in the process of obtaining the optimal solution.

  3. (3)

    Solving the optimization problem using a suitable optimization algorithm.
