The use of evolutionary algorithms to solve practical problems in polymer extrusion

This work aims at selecting the operating conditions and designing screws that optimize the performance of single-screw and co-rotating twin-screw extruders, which are machines widely used by the polymer processing industry. A special MOEA, denoted as Reduced Pareto Set Genetic Algorithm, RPSGAe, is...
