Chapter 8 Optimization 1

This document summarizes two optimization problems. The first problem involves adjusting the y-coordinates of points P2, P3, and P6 on a flexible gripper to reduce stress while keeping x-coordinates fixed. The second problem involves optimizing the width W and radius R of a triangular plate to reduce material usage, with W initially at 30mm and ranging from 20-30mm and R initially at 10mm and ranging from 5-15mm. Key concepts discussed include input/output parameters, design points, objectives and constraints, and optimization algorithms.

Flexible Gripper
P4(35,160)

Problem Description
P3(69,120)

Positions of the P2, P3, and P6 are free to be changed. P5(34,100)

The idea is to x the X-coordinates of these points and P6(24, 60)

adjust their Y-coordinates to achieve a better GA value. P7(0, 50)


P2(90, 40)
Allowable adjustment ranges are 10 mm for P2, 20 mm Y

for P3, and 5 mm for P6.


P1(70, 0) X
The maximum stress should not exceed 15 MPa.
