Sheet Metal Forming Optimization Bioinspired Approaches (Hb 2018) Hardcover

This book explores the application and effectiveness of various evolutionary, swarm, and bio-inspired optimization algorithms in sheet metal forming processes, which are used in the production of automotive, aerospace components, utensils, and other products made from thin sheet metal (0.8 to 1.2 mm). It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of metal forming and formability, followed by a detailed discussion of process parameters, common failure modes, and the basics of optimization. The book then delves into bio-inspired optimization techniques and presents case studies applying these algorithms to optimize the manufacturing of various industrial components.
