The Analysis of Optimal Clamping Scheme Based on Genetic Algorithm

Abstract:

This paper indicates a kind of research on the optimization of clamping scheme for the joint thin-walled parts in milling process .The three-dimensional model of four-flute end mill and the part are made by UG. The effect of different clamping scheme on the deformation of joint structure is simulated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. With the purpose of getting the minimum of the average deformation, MATLAB genetic algorithm optimizes the clamping scheme and acquires the best clamping scheme. The simulation and optimization provide an effective method for controlling the deformation due to different clamping scheme of aeronautic joint-shaped workpiece.
