Engineering and manufacturing processes and systems designs involve many challenges,
such as dynamism, chaotic behaviours, and complexity. Of late, the arrival of big data, high …

In order to fulfil the ever increasing requirements of various hard and difficult-to-machine
materials in automobile, turbine, nuclear, aviation, tool and die making industries, the …

This paper presents a new selection methodology that for the first time supports the
identification of Near Net Shape (NNS) processes. The methodology, known as “Product …

The present investigation deals with the proposal of a combined fuzzy-genetic algorithm (F-
GA) model able to describe the inherent uncertainties related to the manufacture of open …

This paper proposes a heuristic and genetic approach for cutting sheet metal parts that
identify effective locations for micro-joints, thereby generating an optimized tool path. In the …

In this study, a model is developed using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology to
help the process engineers and decision makers in prioritising and ranking the various NTM …

In this article, the punching in the die-making branch is analyzed based on the mechanical
presses for punch cutting, and it is explained from its components and characteristics for …

Nontraditional machining processes (NTMPs) are capable of processing very small parts,
producing intricate geometries, operating on very narrow machining areas and machining …

Quality of the surface of the machined part is one of the most common requirements of
customers. Average surface roughness (R a) represents a measure of the surface quality …

This paper presents an approach for the optimization of laser cutting process of aluminium
alloy with multi-response outputs based on the Grey relational analysis (GRA). For …
