OPTIMIZATION OF WELDING PROCESS USING A GENETIC ALGORITHM
Journal Title: Strojnicky casopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 68, Issue 2
Abstract
Welding is a complex technological process in which local heating takes place up to the melting point of the connecting and the additional material. Phase and crystallization processes are a strong non-linear function of the cooling rate. This non-linear function multiplies the complexity of the numerical simulation and optimization of the welding process. Lately, optimization with genetic algorithm has become the trend to optimize systems that behave in a non-linear manner and contain a number of local extremes. Genetic algorithm is therefore a method by which we seek an absolute extreme. It is a method which seeks a solution to near absolute extreme. In this paper the use of the genetic algorithm for welding process optimization is described.

This paper contains results of transient analysis of airflow around the ACSR power line cross-section in unsymmetric multi-span. The forces applied to the power line are obtained from CFD simulations, where the wind in...
Studies on Improvement of Performance of Compression Ignition Engine Fuelled with Mixture of Honge Biodiesel and Tire Pyrolysis Oil
The biodiesel has lower volatility and is costlier than the fossil diesel. Hence it is necessary to add a low cost fuel which has higher volatility, with the diesel. The tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) produced from waste tire...
Static Characteristics of Pressure Control Valve
The article deals with the measurement of static characteristics of a pressure control valve. The pressure, at which the valve starts to leak oil, is adjusted by a spring. The measurement is performed on a hydraulic sy...
