Abstract
The demand of Advanced Machining Processes (AMP) is continuously increasing owing to the technological advancement. The problems based on AMP are complex in nature as it consisted of parameters which are interdependent. These problems also consisted of linear and nonlinear constraints. This makes the problem complex which may not be solved using traditional optimization techniques. The optimization of process parameters is indispensable to use AMP's at its aptness and to make it economical to use. This paper states the optimization of process parameters of Ultrasonic machining (USM) and Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) processes to maximize the Material Removal Rate (MRR) using a socio inspired Cohort Intelligent (CI) algorithm. The constraints involved with these problems are handled using static penalty function approach. The solutions are compared with other contemporary techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Modified Harmony Search (HS_M) and Genetic Algorithm (GA).

Traditional manufacturing processes were very useful in early decades
A focused and precise laser beam is passed through the material by accomplishing cutting of material other processes like wire electric discharge machining [3], electric discharge machining [3], electrochemical machining [4], electro-beam machining problem [5], ultrasonic machining [6] and more were invented for specific operations while considering human safety and standards issues
Very first time a socio inspired Cohort Intelligence (CI) algorithm is validated by solving Advance Manufacturing Processes (AMP) problems such as abrasive water jet machining and ultrasonic machining problems
Summary
Traditional manufacturing processes were very useful in early decades. As the world started demanding more in terms of standards and quality, it is very difficult to manufacture certain products due to its complex shape, size and quantity as it is beyond the limit of traditional manufacturing processes. The real-world applications of AMPs such as Light Amplification Stimulated Emission of Radiation machining problem [1,2] which is used for cutting process In this machine, a focused and precise laser beam is passed through the material by accomplishing cutting of material other processes like wire electric discharge machining [3], electric discharge machining [3], electrochemical machining [4], electro-beam machining problem [5], ultrasonic machining [6] and more were invented for specific operations while considering human safety and standards issues. Very first time a socio inspired Cohort Intelligence (CI) algorithm is validated by solving AMPs problems such as abrasive water jet machining and ultrasonic machining problems. These problems are associated with linear and nonlinear constraints which are handled using static penalty function approach.
