Optimization Of Geometry

At present time there is a need to develop a methodology for electric motors design which will ensure the optimality of their geometrical parameters according to one or a set of criterias. With the growth of computer calculating power it becomes possible to develop methods based on numerical methods for electric machines computing. The article describes method of a singlecriterion evolutionary optimization of synchronous electric machines with permanent magnets taking into account the given restrictions on the overall dimensions and characteristics of structural materials. The described approach is based on applying of a genetic algorithm for carrying out evolutionary optimization of geometric parameters of a given configuration of electric motor. Optimization criteria may be different, but in automatic control systems high requirements are imposed to electromagnetic torque electric machine produces. During genetic algorithm work it optimizes given geometric parameters of the electric motor according to the criterion of its torque value, which is being calculated using finite element method.

Abstract The JCSM concept (short for Jackup Combined Semisubmersible Multifunction Platform) is a new type of semisubmersible platform presented by the first author, which overcomes the shortcomings of the available semisubmersible platforms, and combines the advantages of the traditional semisubmersible platform, the Jackup platform and the new FPSO concept - IQFP. Due to the complicated interaction between stability and hydrodynamic performance, it is necessary to explore the effect of geometrical parameters of the main body on the stability and hydrodynamic performance in order to obtain the optimal design plan of a JCSM platform. Firstly, the structure components and innovations of the JCSM were briefly reviewed in order to facilitate readers to understand its full picture. Then, six independent geometric parameters were selected by carefully studying the shape characteristics of the initial design plan of a JCSM study case. Furthermore, the stability heights and motion responses of various floating bodies of the JCSM case with different geometric parameters in wave were calculated using boundary element method based on potential flow theory. Lastly, effect of the shape parameters on stability and hydrodynamic performance of the JCSM was qualitatively evaluated. The research would shed lights on the shape design of the JCSM main body.

In modern economic conditions, the chosen technology of raw material processing and the choice of the necessary equipment for both the line as a whole and the oil press are of great importance in oil production. In small-capacity workshops, screw presses of various designs are used. The twin-screw extruder occupied a certain niche among the press equipment with a productivity of 150–500 kg/h. Their use can significantly simplify the technology of oilseed processing. They combine operations of heat treatment, grinding, and pressing of vegetable oil. It is important to study the influence of geometric parameters of the oil pressure path and screw nozzle on the oil yield. In twin-screw extruders, it is rational to choose the pitch of the worm, the width of the channel between the turns, the width of the crest of the turn and the length of the nozzle with variable geometrical parameters. The analysis and selection of geometrical parameters of working bodies of a twin-screw extruder on the basis of theoretical calculations are carried out. Two sets of experimental working bodies with the changed geometrical parameters are made. Their theoretical degree of compression is determined, which is 5.50, 4.69, and 4.33, respectively. It is experimentally confirmed that the oil yield depends on the degree of compression due to the geometric parameters of the screw. The effect of a sharp drop in the free volume of the screw on the energy performance and press extruder performance has been revealed. The general nature of the change in the free volume in the areas of nozzle groups is accompanied by an uneven decrease of 40–80% towards the release of oil cake. The nature of the change in the free volume of turns along the length of the screw shaft characterizes the correctness of its design. The selection of rational geometric parameters of the working bodies should be considered in combination with other design parameters, which will intensify the process of oil pressing.

This research is concerned with the effects of the geometrical parameters of the die in elevated temperature Hydro-Mechanical Deep Drawing (HMDD) process of 2024 aluminum alloy. A Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) process was used to train a neural network in order to study the process behavior. Based on the maximum reduction in sheet thickness and the uniformity of the final product, an objective function was constructed. The Bees Algorithm (BA) was used to achieve the optimal values for process variables. To verify the simulation results, they were compared with the experimental findings gained via this research and an appropriate correlation was observed between these results. This comparison showed that, by optimization of the geometrical parameters of the process, the value of the combined objective function was the best one compared with all of the cases tried in the present investigation.

This chapter proposes a new automated method of measuring complex three-dimensional surfaces of aircraft parts in static and dynamic modes. The method allows conducting measurements in closed conditions and at the site of the aircraft disposition. The method consists in the continuous determination of the coordinates of the points of the surface of the detail and their representation in a three-dimensional graphic depiction. New methods of measuring the geometric parameters of parts with the complex spatial surface are suggested. This opens the prospect for the development of new ways of measuring geometric parameters of parts in real-time with high metrological characteristics and computer simulation of the measurement process. The differential-digital method is based on the suggested zero-coordinate principle of the measurement process which involves simultaneous parts availability check, and connects measurement result obtained which provided a reduction in the order of measurement error.

The Coefficient Of Friction

In this research, geometric parameters were given in dimensionless form by the Π- Buckingham dimensional analysis method in the dimensionless group for deep drawing of a round cup. To find the best group of dimensionless parameters and the fittest dimensionless relational model, three scales of the cup are evaluated numerically by a commercial finite element software and stepwise regression modeling. After analyzing all effective geometric parameters, a fittest relational model among dimensionless parameters is found. In addition, the results of the new dimensionless model were compared with the simulation process and experimental tests. From the results, it is inferred that the geometric qualities of a large scale can be predicted with a small scale by the proposed dimensionless model. Comparing the results of the dimensionless model with experimental tests shows that the proposed dimensionless model has fine precision in the determination of geometrical parameters and drawing force estimation. Moreover, to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed dimensionless model, the predicted value of the model has been compared by the experimental results. It is shown that the dimensionless ratios of geometrical parameters can significantly affect the estimation of the drawing force by the proposed dimensionless model, but based on similarity law, because of the constant value of these dimensionless parameters in different scales, they could not be used for dimensionless analysis separately. It is also inferred that because of the effect of contact area on the coefficient of friction, which is changed by scale changing, the only dimensionless parameter that can significantly change the drawing force is the coefficient of friction. Finally, it is shown that the dimensionless geometrical parameter and the coefficient friction should be combined for dimensionless analysis.

The Given

Charge-based Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) is a cost and space-saving method for accurate piezoelectric based-actuator positioning. However, the performance of its implementation resides in the choice of its geometry and the properties of the constituent materials. This paper intends to analyze the charge-based SSA’s performances dependence on the aforementioned parameters and properties for a piezoelectric cantilever. A model is established for this type of Piezoelectric Actuator (PEA), and a multi-objective function is defined. The multi-objective function consists of the weighted actuator and sensor objective functions of the PEA. The analytical optimization approach introduced herein aims to assess the evolution of the defined multi-objective function across a defined set of geometrical parameters and material properties and highlights the existence of a subset of solutions for an optimal charge-based SSA’s implementation. The commercially-available finite element analysis software, COMSOL Multiphysics, is used on the parametric model of the given structure to validate the analytical model. Then, experiments are conducted to corroborate the numerical and analytical modeling and analysis.

AbstractIn this research, geometric parameters were given in dimensionless form by the Buckingham pi dimensional analysis method, and a series of dimensionless groups were found for deep drawing of the round cup. To find the best group of dimensionless geometric parameters, three scales are evaluated by commercial FE software. After analyzing all effective geometric parameters, a fittest relational model of dimensionless parameters is found. St12 sheet metals were used for experimental validation, which were formed at room temperature. In addition, results and response parameters were compared in the simulation process, experimental tests, and proposed dimensionless models. By looking at the results, it very well may be inferred that geometric qualities of a large scale can be predicted with a small scale by utilizing the proposed dimensionless model. Comparison of the outcomes for dimensionless models and experimental tests shows that the proposed dimensionless models have fine precision in determining geometrical parameters and drawing force estimation. Moreover, generalizing proposed dimensionless model was applied to ensure the estimating precision of geometric values in larger scales by smaller scales.
