The present study attempts to find the optimal level of machining parameters for multi-performance characteristics in turning of Al-SiC-Gr hybrid composites using grey-fuzzy algorithm. The hybrid composites with 5%, 7.5% and 10% combined equal mass fraction of SiC-Gr particles were used for the study and their corresponding tensile strength values are 170, 210, 204 MPa respectively. Al-10%（SiC-Gr） hybrid composite provides better machinability when compared with composites with 5% and 7.5% of SiC-Gr. Grey-fuzzy logic approach offers improved grey-fuzzy reasoning grade and has less uncertainties in the output when compared with grey relational technique. The confirmatory test reveals an increase in grey-fuzzy reasoning grade from 0.619 to 0.891, which substantiates the improvement in multi-performance characteristics at the optimal level of process parameters setting.展开更多

A composite particle swarm optimization （CPSO） for solving these difficulties is presented, in which a novel learning strategy plus an assisted search mechanism framework is used. Instead of simple learning strategy of the original PSO, the proposed CPSO combines one particle＇s historical best information and the global best information into one learning exemplar to guide the particle movement. The proposed learning strategy can reserve the original search information and lead to faster convergence speed. The proposed assisted search mechanism is designed to look for the global optimum. Search direction of particles can be greatly changed by this mechanism so that the algorithm has a large chance to escape from local optima. In order to make the assisted search mechanism more efficient and the algorithm more reliable, the executive probability of the assisted search mechanism is adjusted by the feedback of the improvement degree of optimal value after each iteration. According to the result of numerical experiments on multimodal benchmark functions such as Schwefel, Rastrigin, Ackley and Griewank both with and without coordinate rotation, the proposed CPSO offers faster convergence speed, higher quality solution and stronger robustness than other variants of PSO.展开更多
