Dear all,
After reading the evolutionary-computing introductory message, I
would like forward my details to those using this mailbase service:-
I am an Engineering Doctorate (Eng.D.) research engineer and
have developed a multi-parameter optimisation procedure to better
design forming rolls for the production of paper and paperboard.
I have used a series of genetic algorithms, based around a non-
linear finite element model. Matlab and ABAQUS (FE) have been
utilised in the optimisation routines. I have had some very
sucessful results, and the models are being used in industry by my
Eng.D. collaborating company (and others).
For those who may know the paper formation process, I have
developed a routine to quickly and accurately yield the optimum roll
crown (both magnitude and profile) for uniform pressure in the
calendering and corrugating process.
I would like to hear from anyone who may have been involved with
anything of a similar nature.
Thanks,
Steffan Evans
