Effective utilization of optimization algorithms on machining operations

Abstract

Optimization is ruling the entire field of machining and material processing technology from the time at which the revolution took place in machining processes. Various types of machining algorithms have been developed so far for optimizing the independent control factors in order to get the improved results of desirable output responses. Each algorithm has its own special features which made them useful in deriving the optimized solutions under different conditions. Suitable algorithm is chosen for the required case depending upon the nature of the problem, the requirement of the order of precision and the availability of optimization tools. In this review article, the general flow of few important algorithms has been explained in a simpler manner to be understood by the recent researchers. Also, required numbers of case studies for each algorithm have been provided extensively. This consolidated work will surely be helpful for the new researchers those who have entered into the domain of optimization.
