Fixture Layout Optimization of Sheet Metals by Integrating Topology Optimization into Genetic Algorithm

Manufacturing process accuracy is obtained by proper arrangement of fixture elements known as fixture layout. A N-3-2-1 method is used for sheet metals which requires (N + 3) fixture elements to constrain deformation normal to surface. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used for fixture layout optimization,...
