Abstract

In this study, we present a methodology for minimizing machining time, where the surface roughness is constrained for the problem. The objective of the methodology is to encounter optimized cutting parameters which reduce machining time without reducing the surface quality of the machined workpiece. Three optimization schemes were considered to encounter the minima of a quantity which is a function of machining parameters: (a) sequential quadratic programming, (b) genetic algorithms, and (c) simulated annealing. For the discussion of the methodologies employed, an example of a machined surface is presented. The formalisms are used to obtain the parameters which minimize the machining time while maintaining the surface roughness within acceptable limits.
