Abstract: Weight reduction techniques have been practiced by automobile manufacturers for the purpose of long range, less fuel consumption and achieving higher speeds. Due to the numerous set objectives that must be met, especially with respect to of car safety, automotive chassis design for vehicle weight reduction is a difficult task. In passenger classed vehicles using a monocoque chassis for vehicle construction has been a great solution for reducing overall wight of the vehicle body yet the structure is more stiffened and sturdier. However, some parts such as A-pillar, B-pillar, roof structure, floor pan can be further optimized to reduce more weight without affecting the strength needed for respective purposes. In this paper, the main focus is on reducing weight of the B-pillar. The B-pillar of a passenger car has been optimized using topology optimization and optimum weight reduction has been done. The modelling and simulation are done using SOLIDWORKS 3D software. The B-pillar in this study has been subjected to a static load of 140 KN. Further by providing goals and constraints the optimization was caried out. The results of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the original model are explained. The Topology Optimization resulted in reducing 53% of the original weight of the B-pillar. Keywords: Structural optimization techniques, weight reduction techniques, weight reduction technologies, need for weight reduction, Topology optimization, B-pillar design, structural optimization of B-pillar, Topology optimization of B-pillar.

Design Variables

A three-dimensional numerical simulation using the boundary element method is proposed, which can predict the cavity temperature distributions in the cooling stage of injection moulding. Then, choosing the radii and positions of cooling lines as design variables, the boundary integral sensitivity formulations are deduced. For the optimum design of cooling lines, the squared difference between the objective temperature and the temperature of the cavity is taken as the objective function. Based on the optimization techniques with design sensitivity analysis, an iterative algorithm to reach the minimum value of the objective function is introduced, which leads to the optimum design of cooling lines at the same time.

Automated Procedures

Structural optimization procedures usually start from a given design topology and vary proportions or boundary shapes of the design to achieve optimality of an objective under various constraints. This article presents examples of the application of a novel approach for initiating formal structural optimization at an earlier stage, where the design topology is rigorously generated. A three-phase design process is used. In Phase I, an optimal initial topology is created by a homogenization method as a gray-scale image. In Phase II, the image is transformed to a realizable design using computer vision techniques. In Phase III, the design is parameterized and treated in detail by conventional size and shape optimization techniques. Fully-automated procedures for optimization of two-dimensional solid structures are outlined, and several practical design problems for this type of structures are solved using the proposed procedure, including a crane hook and a bicycle frame.

Machine-tools, packaging units, lifting systems and also other heavy duty devices (f.e. used in steel casting technologies) employ advantageously screw drives (balls, re-circulating rollers, and planetary roller drives) as mechanical command elements (f.e. directly coupled to servo drives), especially for their high efficiencies (∼87 .. 98%) and “output force to input torque ratio”. After a short review of the most important checks (for Static and Endurance Strength, Life, Shocks resistance and also some Miscellaneous Effects due f.e. to Critical Speeds and Stress Concentrators) it will be described briefly a combinatory design methodology or “heuristics” which takes into account as the technical viability and reliability as well as the economical feasibility of the whole system line (included end bearings and transmission) leading to an “overall safety ratio matrix” and/or to “viability and reliability graphs” helping in such a way the designer to reach an “optimum design” by an overall helicopter view of his/her design(s). In terms of optimization techniques, this user friendly combinatory design methodology could be placed in the field of the “heuristic” ones. An industrial case study will illustrate that presentation. This presentation is also a continuation of the one given for the MS&T’09 occurring in PITTSBURGH, USA during the “Charles R. MORIN Memorial Symposium on Failure Analysis & Prevention” for the ASM International.

There has been constant development in the energy sector. As the trend of SMART grid is increasing, modern power systems require smarter and reliable switchgear. In this view, the optimum design of switchgear and components acquired prime importance. This can be achieved using various optimization techniques. In this paper, novel optimum design of post insulator is proposed and carried out. The design gives a standard value of capacitance for the indicating system and also solves problem of partial discharge in Indian system. The design is first carried out using 3D MAXWELL software tool for 33kv post insulator which gives drawing in AUTOCAD. The output design parameters obtained in 3D MAXWELL are used for optimization in MATLAB.

Abstract The population of the world is increasing day by day. Accordingly, the amount of production and consumption are increasing. Due to the continuous and rapid development of technology, the duration of the use of some products becomes shorter. That is why the more efficient use of limited resources is even more important. In the developing and growing automotive industry, companies are currently focusing on weight and cost reduction methods to compete. In this study, the optimum design has been achieved by using topology and shape optimization in the suspension cover used in suspension systems. As a result of the topology and shape optimization efforts, The mass of the optimum design achieved was reduced by 35.203 % according to the first design.
