Manufacturing cost of locomotive wheel largely depends on mass of locomotive wheel and to reduce mass of wheel, design optimization is necessary. In this research the design of locomotive wheel is optimized considering hub radius and hub width as input parameters to DOE (Design of Experiments). Initially finite element analysis is performed under static structural loading conditions to determine equivalent stress and safety factor which is followed by design optimization using Response Surface Methodology. The software used for design and analysis is ANSYS.

Abstract This study proposes a method for integrating finite element analysis and response surface methodology to predict tearing locations in the deep drawing of a rectangular-shape AISI 304 cup. The finite element model was confirmed by a deep-drawing experiment with nitrogengas springs, and the finite element analysis results were in agreement. Moreover, the regression model was developed using response surface methodology to predict final thickness at various locations on the rectangular-shape deep-drawn cup based on 40 finite element cases containing varied blank holder forces. The maximum percentage of thinning values was obtained from the response surface methodology results. The relationships among the blank holder forces and the thinning values at different locations were then further developed. The maps of the predicted tearing locations were then obtained and directly corresponded to the number of locations the specific blank holder forces. These maps, as established, could be directly used in a closed-loop control system enabling tearing defects to be prevented or eliminated.

This paper investigates an optimal design of a double-sided slotted iron core type permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) using for ropeless elevator system. To obtain the optimal structure, the combination of response surface methodology (RSM) and two dimensional (2D) finite element analysis (FEA), which can solve the problem effectively without much time consuming, is utilized to investigate the PMLSM characteristics. Moreover, the detent force is more detailed analyzed with the manufacturing consideration. In final some numerical calculation results are reported to validate the applicability of this double-sided slotted iron core type PMLSM in ropeless elevator system. Introduction
