Quiza R., López-Armas O., Davim J.P. Hybrid Modeling and Optimization of Manufacturing: Combining Artificial Intelligence and Finite Element Method

Springer, 2012. — 98 p.
The main objective of this text is to expose some conceptual ideas on the integration of the finite element method and artificial intelligence tool for solving modeling and optimization problems in the field of manufacturing processes. Also, the main topics on both tools are explained and an illustrative sample of the use of the hybrid approach is presented. The book is directed to the research community dedicated to the mathematical modeling and optimization of manufacturing processes. It is intended to be employed at postgraduate level but some of its topics can be used also in undergraduate courses.
