SHEET METAL FORMING OPTIMIZATION: BIOINSPIRED APPROACHES

Features Primary focus on the description of basic investigation of metal forming, as well as evolutionary optimization Presentation of innovative optimization methodologies to the industrial professionals and close the gap between those formulations and industrial problems. Includes Mathematical Modeling of Drawing/Forming Process Discusses key performance parameters, such as Thinning, Fracture, and Wrinkling Focus on both numerical and experimental analysis Summary Automotive and aerospace components, utensils, and many other products are manufactured by a forming/drawing process on press machines of very thin sheet metal, 0.8 to 1.2 mm. It is imperative to study the effect of all involved parameters on the output of this type of manufacturing process. This book offers the readers with application and suitability of various evolutionary, swarm, and bio-inspired optimization algorithms for sheet metal forming processes.
