This work devoted to an ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel under internal pressure load. The analysis is aimed at finding an optimum weight of ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel due to maximum working pressure that ensures its full charge with stresses by using imperialist competitive algorithm and genetic algorithm. In head of pressure vessel the region of its joint with the cylindrical shell is loaded with shear force and bending moments. The load causes high bending stresses in the region of the joint. Therefore, imperialist competitive algorithm was used here to find the optimum shape of a head with minimum weight and maximum working pressure which the shear force and the bending moment moved toward zero. Two different size ellipsoidal head examples are selected and studied. The imperialist competitive algorithm results are compared with the genetic algorithm results.

A Value

Optimal (minimum weight) solutions for plastic framed structures under shakedown conditions are found by linear programming. Designs that are optimal for two failure criteria (collapse under fixed loads and collapse under variable repeated loads) are then investigated. It is found that these designs are governed by the ratio of the specified factors defining the two failure criteria, i.e., for shakedown, λs and for collapse under fixed loading, λ. Below a certain value (λs/λ)min the optimal solution under fixed loading is also optimal for fixed and shakedown loading. Above a value (λs/λ)max the optimal design for variable loading is also optimal under the two loading conditions. For intermediate values of λs/λ the optimal design that simultaneously satisfies the two criteria is different from the optimal designs for each independent loading condition. An example illustrates the effect of λs/λ on the nature of the design solution.

Corrugated Cylindrical Shell

AbstractOptimization of parameters of the corrugated shell aims to achieve its minimum weight while keeping maximum stiffness ability. How an introduction of functionally graded corrugations resulted in improved efficiency of this thin-walled structure is demonstrated. The corrugations are graded varying their pitch. The effect of variation in pitch is studied. Homogenization approach gives explicit expressions to calculate the equivalent shell properties. Then well-elaborate methods of optimal design theory are used. The illustrative examples for hydrostatic load demonstrate a high efficiency of the used method.

Plastic Displacement

The purpose of this study is to present an optimal design procedure for elasto-plastic structures subjected to impact loading. The proposed method is based on mode approximation of the displacement field and assumption of constant acceleration of impacted structure during whole time of deformation process until the plastic displacement limit is reached. Derivation of the method begins with the application of the principle of conservation of linear momentum, followed by determination of inertial forces. The final stage of the method utilizes an optimization technique in order to find a minimum weight structure. Eventually, effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated on the example of a planar truss structure subjected to dynamic loading caused by a mass impacting the structure with a given initial velocity.

Abstract Decomposition synthesis in optimal design is the process of creating an optimal design model by selecting objectives and constraints so that it can be directly partitioned into an appropriate decomposed form. Such synthesis results are not unique since there may be many partitions that satisfy the decomposition requirements. Introducing suitable criteria an optimal decomposition synthesis process can be defined in a manner analogous to optimal partitioning formulations. The article presents an integer programming formulation and solution techniques for synthesizing hierarchically decomposed optimal design problems. Examples for designing a pressure vessel, an automotive caliper disc brake and a speed reducer are also presented.
