The use of optimization methods in engineering is increasing. Process and product optimization, inverse problems, shape optimization, and topology optimization are frequent problems both in industry and science communities. In this paper, an optimization framework for engineering inverse problems such as the parameter identification and the shape optimization problems is presented. It inherits ...

Deep drawing process is one of the widely used methods in sheet-metal forming. With the deep drawing method, products of various geometrical shapes such as saucepans, tubes, perfume and soft drink cans can be obtained easily. Therefore, the optimization of the deep drawing process is very important for the industry. In conventional deep drawing method, no angle is given to the surfaces of die a...

Direct electric resistance heating allows fast and uniform of rectangular blanks in hot forming process. To adapt this technology for any blank shape, a solution is proposed by splitting the part several strips heated generators. By optimizing number, orientation dimensions to reduce added material energy costs, method applied case windscreen upright blank. From 3D thermoelectric model taking i...
