The choice of an optimal technological process for mechanical treatment of machine components based on structural models

Abstract

Abstract The article discusses the optimization of a technological process for mechanical treatment of machine components. As a rule, a technological process implies many variants which complicate the mathematical solution of optimization tasks. In this regard, this work suggests considering a multi-variant technological process as a digraph. This method deals with searching all the graph paths and determining graph lengths, associated with the values of different optimization criteria. The article also considers the ways to choose the optimal path (corresponds to an optimal technological process). The detailed description of threshold optimization, as well as generalized criterion optimization methods, is given based on the example of a technological process for nut manufacturing.
