Chain drive is one of the most commonly used mechanical devices in the main equipment transmission system. In the past decade, scholars focused on basic performance research, but ignore its best performance. In this study, due to the large vibration of the chain drive in the transmission system, the vibration performance and optimization parameters are also considered as a new method to design the chain drive system to obtain the best performance of the chain drive system. This article proposes a new method and takes a chain drive design as a case based on the multidisciplinary design optimization. The system optimization objective and sub-systems are established by the multidisciplinary design optimization method. To obtain the best performance for the chain, the chain drive is executed by an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm. Dynamic characteristics of the chain drive system are simulated based on the multidisciplinary design optimization results. The impact force of the chain links, vibration displacement, and the vibration frequency are analyzed. The results show that the kinematics principle of the chain drive and the optimal parameter value are obtained based on the multidisciplinary design optimization method.

This paper introduced the method of multidisciplinary design optimization based on genetic algorithm. The basic structure and new auxiliary braking mechanism of permanent magnet retarder was analyzed. The influences of magnetic field parameters, structural design parameters, rotor parameters and permanent magnet temperature parameters on the behaviors performance of the permanent magnet retarder were discussed. The conceptual model of permanent magnet retarder was developed to maximize the brake torque of the permanent magnet retarder. The design variables included the radial width and the axis length of permanent magnet, the number of permanent magnet, the radius of rotor, the thickness of rotor, and the air gas. The constraint conditions included permitting temperature of rotor, saturation magnetic flux density of magnet material, and relation of structural geometry. The results of design optimization variables were obtained by applying genetic algorithm. The multidisciplinary design optimization in this paper is an effective method for the global design optimization of the permanent magnet retarder.

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) has received a considerable attention in aerospace industry. The article develops a novel framework for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of aircraft wing. Practically, the study implements a high-fidelity fluid/structure analyses and accurate optimization codes to obtain the wing with best performance. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) grid is automatically generated using Gridgen (Pointwise) and Catia. The fluid flow analysis is carried out with Ansys Fluent. The Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) mesh is automatically created by Patran Command Language. The structural analysis is done by Nastran. Aerodynamic pressure is transferred to finite element analysis model using Volume Spline Interpolation. In terms of optimization algorithms, Response Surface Method, Genetic Algorithm, and Simulated Annealing are utilized to get global optimum. The optimization objective functions are minimizing weight and maximizing lift/drag. The design variables are aspect ratio, tapper ratio, sweepback angle. The optimization results demonstrate successful and desiable construction of MDO framework.

A multidisciplinary design optimization approach of a three stage solid propellant canister-launched launch vehicle is considered. A genetic algorithm (GA) optimization method has been used. The optimized launch vehicle (LV) is capable of delivering a microsatellite of 60 kg. to a low earth orbit (LEO) of 600 km. altitude. The LV design variables and the trajectory profile variables were optimized simultaneously, while a depleted shutdown condition was considered for every stage, avoiding the necessity of a thrust termination device, resulting in reduced gross launch mass of the LV. The results show that the proposed optimization approach was able to find the convergence of the optimal solution with highly acceptable value for conceptual design phase.

A game theoretic based scheme is considered in this study for multidisciplinary design optimization under uncertain conditions. The methodology developed is illustrated by considering the example of an internal combustion (IC) engine. Various game protocols are used to model the optimization process and the results obtained are compared with each other. A genetic algorithm (GA) is used as an optimization and constraining tool. Convergence, constraint handling and processing time are considered to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology developed.

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an algorithm widely used in the engineering field currently. However, traditional MDO often leads to the failure of convergence or local optimum problems caused by convergence. In such cases, a multidisciplinary design optimization based on genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) (GA-ANN-MDO) is presented in the paper. Under the thought of parallel distribution of traditional MDO, the real sub-disciplinary model is replaced by a highly precise ANN model dependent on the Latin Hypercube experimental design method in the GA-ANN-MDO, so as to reduce the computational cost and smooth the value noise. The GA optimization system level is applied to decline the possibility of partial solution involved in the optimization. As shown from the optimization results of two classic mathematical examples, GA-ANN-MDO is presented good robustness, which could quickly and effectively converge to the global optimal solution. In addition, a project example was employed finally to verify the feasibility of GA-ANN-MDO in the engineering.
