Enhancement of the machining surface roughness model with cuckoo algorithm

Quality of machining products is generally associated with the surface roughness (Ra) which is one of the important aspects that could affect machining performances. This study seeks to find the minimum value of Ra for a modern machining process, Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ). This study proposed Cuckoo...
