The current paper presents a hybrid enhanced genetic algorithm that is developed for solving the optimization problems in design and manufacturing. The present approach is applied to optimize turning operation for the determination of cutting parameters considering minimum production cost under a set of machining constraints. A refined design space for population is introduced by integrating the robust parameter design concept into the genetic algorithm to solve multi-objective and single-objective optimization problems. First, the proposed approach is validated using test problems and metrics taken from literature. Finally, it is applied to the turning optimization problem. The computational experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in the turning optimization problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
