Computer-Aided Mechanical Design Project
Topic: Finite Element Analysis and Optimization in Mechanical Design
Generally, any examples involving the Finite Element Analysis and any Structural Optimization or Design Optimization techniques will be acceptable. So you may freely design your own problem related to this topic in a general sense (e.g. numerical examples or practice-based engineering design problems). However, the problem you choose should be based on the knowledge you have gained from the practices of Quizzes and Assignments, as well as lecturing notes and computer lab tutorials of this Subject.
Requirements:
You may apply Finite Element Method and Optimization techniques to any structural mechanical components as a numerical problem or as a practice-based design problem of your own choice, with appropriate geometric dimensions, loads and constraints, as well as simulation and optimization parameters. You may complete this project individually or in groups of up to 7 (note: 1 group leader).
This Project should take a typical group 35 hours to complete. It is noted that this project can either be completed using Matlab to develop your own codes for any typical numerical examples, or you can use ANSYS, Altair. Hyper works or any software tools to the analysis and design of any real world engineering programs.
Upon the completion, the group leader of each group should submit one hard copy of the detailed project report. The report will be marked out of 30. The report must contain a statement detailing the contributions of all individual group members, signed by all members of the group. Basically, your report should include the following aspects:
(1) Problem description and statement
(2) Finite element procedures and analysis
(3) Design optimization model (design variables; objective function; constraints)
(4) Matlab codes, with detailed explanations, if you use Matlab
(5) Results and discussions, as well as conclusions.
