Reviews
Advanced Modeling and Optimization of Manufacturing Processes: International Research and Development presents a comprehensive review on the latest research and development trends at international level for modelling and optimisation of various manufacturing processes, particularly the machining processes... The book consists of six chapters... In isolation, all these chapters would also be deemed good pieces of academic work. They are well laid out with good contemporary referencing. Throughout the book, using examples of various processes, the author has demonstrated the possibilities for process modelling and optimisation with advanced techniques. The book presents thorough literature review on each of the manufacturing processes considered, various mathematical models, traditional and advanced optimisation techniques, results of applications of the proposed techniques and highlights the best optimisation strategies to achieve the best process performance. The algorithms and computer codes for the advanced optimisation techniques included in the Appendix of the book will be very useful to the readers. The author has presented the techniques to a correct level and readers of this book will easily be able to follow and implement the techniques on comparable problems. The structure of the book is clear and easy to follow. J. Paulo Davim (Int. J. Machining and Machinability of Materials, Vol. 10, Nos. 1/2, 2011)
