The growing demand for the use of high strength to weight alloys in industries for manufacturing complex structures challenges the machinability of such advanced materials. In the present investigation, the machinability of SiC particle reinforced Al 2124 composite was studied on Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). The process parameters namely pulse on-time (Ton), pulse off time (Toff), peak current (IP), and servo voltage (SV) were optimized by utilizing the central composite design layout. The output responses such as kerf and material removal rate (MRR) were studied in detail. The single and multi-objective optimization was studied for a combination effect using Derringer’s desirability approach and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The experimental and predicted values for each response were validated at the optimized condition. The experimental results were found in line with the predicted values. Multi objective optimization of kerf and MRR by GA showing better result compared to RSM.

Optimization is necessary for finding appropriate solutions to a range of real life problems. Evolutionary-approach-based meta-heuristics have gained prominence in recent years for solving Multi Objective Optimization Problems (MOOP). Multi Objective Evolutionary Approaches (MOEA) has substantial success across a variety of real-world engineering applications. The present paper attempts to provide a general overview of a few selected algorithms, including genetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and simulated annealing techniques. Additionally, the review is extended to present differential evolution and teaching-learning-based optimization. Few applications of the said algorithms are also presented. This review intends to serve as a reference for further work in this domain.

Due to several unique features, electrical discharge machining (EDM) has proved itself as one of the efficient non-traditional machining processes for generating intricate shape geometries on various advanced engineering materials in order to fulfill the requirement of the present day manufacturing industries. In this paper, the machining capability of an EDM process is studied during standard hole making operation on pearlitic SG iron 450/12 grade material, while considering gap voltage, peak current, cycle time and tool rotation as input parameters. On the other hand, material removal rate, surface roughness, tool wear rate, overcut and circularity error are treated as responses. Based on single- and multi-objective optimization models, this process is optimized using the teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm, and its performance is contrasted against firefly algorithm, differential evolution algorithm and cuckoo search algorithm. It is revealed that the TLBO algorithm supersedes the others with respect to accuracy and consistency of the derived optimal solutions, and computational efforts.

When solving multi-objective optimization problems, an important issue is how to promote convergence and distribution simultaneously. To address the above issue, a novel optimization algorithm, named as multi-objective modified teaching-learning-based optimization (MOMTLBO), is proposed. Firstly, a grouping teaching strategy based on pareto dominance relationship is proposed to strengthen the convergence efficiency. Afterward, a diversified learning strategy is presented to enhance the distribution. Meanwhile, differential operations are incorporated to the proposed algorithm. By the above process, the search ability of the algorithm can be encouraged. Additionally, a set of well-known benchmark test functions including ten complex problems proposed for CEC2009 is used to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that MOMTLBO exhibits competitive performance against other comparison algorithms. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the aerodynamic optimization of airfoils.
