Abstract
In this paper, a methodology for tuning the design of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is presented. An EA for solving machining optimization probfems having highly non-linear constraints and uncertainties is studied. A conventional turning optimization problem, solved previously with classic optimization algorithms, serves as a basis for the investigation of the EA. The parameters of the problem now can be modified in a certain range, and statistical engineering methods are used to find a unique set of I algorithm parameters giving robust results.
