An Improved Teaching-Learning Based Optimization for Optimization of Flatness of a Strip During a Coiling Process

Performance enhancement of a teaching-learning based optimizer (TLBO) for strip flatness optimization during a coiling process is proposed. The method is termed improved teaching-learning based optimization (ITLBO). The new algorithm is achieved by modifying the teaching phase of the original TLBO. The design problem is set to find spool geometry and coiling tension in order to minimize flatness defects during the coiling process. Having implemented the new optimizer with flatness optimization for strip coiling, the results reveal that the proposed method gives a better optimum solution compared to the present state-of-the-art methods.
