Zusammenfassung:Optimization of machining parameters is an important problem in the modern manufacturing world due to production efficiency and economics. This problem is well known to be complex and is regarded as a strongly nondeterministic polynomial (NP)-hard problem. To reduce the production cost of work-pieces in computer numerical control (CNC) machining, a novel optimization algorithm based on a combination of the bat algorithm and a divide-and-conquer strategy is proposed. First, the basic bat algorithm (BA) is modified with the aim to avoid finding the local optimal solution. In addition, a Gaussian quantum bat algorithm with direction of mean best position is developed. Second, in order to reduce the complexity of the optimization problem, the whole optimization problem is divided into several subproblems by using a divide-and-conquer strategy according to the characteristic of multipass turning operations. Finally, under a large number of machining constraints, the cutting parameters of the two stages of roughing and finishing are simultaneously optimized. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can find better combinations of the machining parameters than other algorithms proposed previously to further reduce the production cost. In addition, the outcome of our work presents a novel way to solve the complex optimization problem of machining parameters with a combination of traditional mathematical methods and swarm intelligence algorithms.
