Abstract
Numerical models of heat transfer and fluid flow used in the simulation of the friction-stir welding (FSW) process have contributed to the understanding of the process. However, there are some input model parameters that cannot be easily determined from fundamental principles or the [...]Abstract
Guided wave-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) tools utilize the guided wave responses to interrogate damage in structures. This research demonstrates the use of various objective functions in single (mono) objective and multi-objective genetic algorithms for damage identification [...]
Abstract
This paper concerns the optimization of an industrial sheet metal forming process on an automatic panel bender from Salvagnini Maschinenbau GmbH combined with a corner former from an external company. By combining these two machines and optimizing the sheet metal blank geometry, production [...]
