✦ Synopsis

This paper develops a hybrid approach, based on genetic algorithms and simplex method, to optimize the accuracy of a manufacturing process by material pultrusion. The numerical model, proposed in a recent paper of the same authors, is solved by a finite difference scheme. The analysis technically shows the efficiency of the optimization algorithm.
