Firefly Algorithm–Based Optimization of Processing Parameters for Enhanced Performance of Polymer Composite Materials
Abstract: Polymer composite materials are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and oil & gas applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. However, achieving optimal mechanical and thermal performance strongly depends on precise control of processing parameters such as curing temperature, energy consumption, and material utilization. Conventional trial-and-error approaches often lead to excessive energy usage, non-uniform curing, and sub-optimal composite properties. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an …
