Optimal Intermediate Process Design in Forging by Genetic Algorithm

유전 알고리즘을 이용한 단조공정중 중간 공정 최적설계

The investigation deals with of a intermediate process condition hving a bolt-shaped final product where it is required to extend tool-life in forging. In this study, optimization of the design variables is conducted by a genetic algorithm, where the fitness values are evaluated on the basis of FEM analysis model. The approach is applied to the determination of the intermediate process conditions which are optimal with regard to minimization of peak die pressure.
