商品簡介
Mechanical engineers mostly from Portugal and India, but also Greece and Japan, describe their research and report its findings on computational methods for optimizing manufacturing equipment and processes. Their topics include the multi-objective optimization of manufacturing processes using evolutionary algorithms, applying particle swarm optimization to achieve the desired surface roughness in tungsten-copper alloy machining, simulating grinding by means of the finite element method and artificial neural networks, modeling and optimizing abrasive water jet cutting of Kevlar fiber-reinforced polymer composites, and joining sheets to tubular profiles by tube forming. The material could be used in a senior undergraduate engineering course. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
