Neuro-Genetic Design Optimization Framework to Support the Integrated Robust Design Optimization Process in CE

Abstract

This article describes an integrated and optimized product design framework to support the design optimization applications in concurrent engineering (CE). The significant consideration is given to show the effectiveness of hybrid approaches and how they can be used to improve the performance of integrated design optimization applications. The proposed approach is based on two-stages which are (1) the use of neural networks (NNs) and genetic algorithm (GA) with feature technology for integrated design activities and (2) the use of Taguchi’s method and GA for design parameters optimization. The first stage resulted in better integrated design solutions in terms of computational complexity and later resulted in a solution, which leads to better and more robust parameter values for multi-objective shape design optimization. The effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach are evaluated with examples.

“…To address this issue, many scholars have attempted to develop new optimization methods that integrate efficiency and accuracy. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] To reduce the effects of noise factors to achieve better initialize population, the Taguchi method is introduced to define the initial population levels of design parameters for some intelligent optimization algorithms, and the hybrid method show the ability of obtaining the optimal solutions for multi-objective optimization problems. 24,25 Wang et al coupled the GA with SA to optimize machining parameters in milling operations.…”
