Multi-objective optimization of water jet machining process using simple optimization algorithm(SOPT)

To achieve high quality of machining at low cost, optimization of cutting parameters of machining processes are required. In this work process parameters of Water Jet Machining(WJM) are optimized using a meta-heuristic algorithm called simple optimization(SOPT) algorithm. SOPT algorithm incorporated with weighted aggregation and crowding distance approach is used to solve two objective optimization problem. The non-dominated solution set obtained is compared with the set obtained from Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm(NSGA-II). (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
