Abstract: The optimum selection of process parameters is essential for a designer, as it incur high initial investment, power and; operating and maintenance costs. This article presents optimisation aspects of resistance spot welding process using cuckoo search algorithm. The parameters are studied critically to obtain the optimum settings satisfying one or more quality characteristics. Some constrained and unconstrained single as well as multi-objective optimisation problems related to the practical case studies are solved. The obtained results are compared with those derived by the past researchers. It is found that the present results are better than the previous results in all the cases. The solved examples illustrated a novel effectiveness of the presented algorithm and its application suitability in the field of resistance spot welding.
