Methods of structural optimization have been studied and developed over the last three decades. An important aspect of structural optimization pertains to the condition under which the loads are applied. Most machine structures in operation are subject to loads varying as functions of time. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to cope with loads whose magnitudes vary within given bounds and with variable directions. The underlying ideas are applied to the structural optimization of the roller-carrying disk of a novel class of cam-follower speed reduction devices termed Speed-o-Cam (SoC). Results obtained in this paper are compared with a current prototype and with an intermediate design in which the dimensions of the roller pins are optimized. Combined with the optimum dimension of the roller pins, our structural-optimization results lead to an improvement of almost twice the stiffness with a mass reduction of 40% of the original prototype.

In this study, 550 nm thick cubic silicon carbide square diaphragms were back etched from Si substrate. Then, indentation was carried out to samples with varying dimensions, indentation locations, and loads. The influence of three parameters is documented by analyzing load-displacement curves. It was found that diaphragms with bigger area, indented at the edge, and low load demonstrated almost elastic behaviour. Furthermore, two samples burst and one of them displayed pop-in behaviour, which we determine is due to plastic deformation. Based on optimum dimension and load, we calculate maximum pressure for elastic diaphragms. This pressure is sufficient for cubic silicon carbide diaphragms to be used as acoustic sensors to detect poisonous gasses.
