A Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm for Solving Traveling Salesman Problems: Application to the Design of Polymer Extruders

摘要: A Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) for solving Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP) was developed and used in the design of screws twin screw polymer extrusion. Besides fact that MOEA TSP have already been developed, this paper constitutes an important original contribution, since case, they are applied machines. The Twin- Screw Configuration Problem (TSCP) can be formulated as a TSP. different is order to take into account discrete nature TSCP. algorithm proposed some case studies where practical usefulness approach demonstrated. Finally, computational results confronted with experimental data showing validity proposed.
