Summary:
This book focuses on the application and suitability of evolutionary, swarm, and bio-inspired optimization algorithms for sheet metal forming processes. These processes are integral in the manufacturing of automotive and aerospace components, utensils, and a variety of products made from thin sheet metal (0.8 to 1.2 mm). Given the precision required in such manufacturing, this book aims to explore how different parameters affect the outcomes of the forming and drawing processes.

The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of metal forming, including formability and a detailed examination of process parameters. It discusses prominent modes of failure in metal forming and introduces optimization basics. The focus then shifts to bioinspired approaches, such as evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence, as effective tools for optimizing sheet metal forming processes.

Through optimization studies applied to various industrial components, the book presents practical insights into how these bio-inspired optimization algorithms can enhance performance in metal forming applications. This text is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and students working in the fields of manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and optimization techniques.
