Abstract:

The paper deals with applications of methods of artificial intelligence: artificial immune systems and evolutionary algorithms in optimization of a forging process. The shape optimization of the anvils in a two-stage forging process is considered as a numerical example. The paper contains description of the evolutionary algorithm, the artificial immune system and parallel versions of bioinspired algorithms in grid environment.
