Evaluation of optimization methods for machining economics models. (English) Zbl 0759.90038
Summary: In machining operations it is desirable to operate under optimal machining conditions. The optimal cutting conditions are obtained by solving machining optimization models. The formulated machining models are non-convex nonlinear programs of complex nature. This paper compares the performances and the utilities of six algorithms to identify the most suitable one(s) for solving the machining models. The algorithms are evaluated empirically with respect to their reliability, precision, convergence, sensitivity to input vector and their preparational effort. The generalized reduced gradient method implemented as in the commercial code GINO (Generalized Interactive Nonlinear Optimizer) of Scientific Press (Redwood, CA) is found to be the most suitable for solving machining optimization models.
