OPTIMIZATION OF CROSSPIECE OF WASHING MACHINE

Sunil Patil, S.A.Kulkarni

Abstract: The Optimization through FEA is new emerging field. Now a day’s providing product with less cost and with good functioning becomes necessary due to high competitions in market. Nowadays it is very necessary to shorten the development process of new components. Therefore tools are necessary that replace the natural evolution process by an automatic procedure. With today’s available resources the optimization approach is the best approach for industrial components which are having large number of design variables with more than one objective to satisfy. This paper includes optimization of crosspiece of washing machine by using FEA concept. One simple component is taken to correlate optimization FEA results with practical results. After validating simulation results of optimization, industrial component crosspiece of washing machine with drum assembly is considered for optimization. The material reduction objective is satisfied here by using simulation software tools like Optistruct, Hypermesh, Hyper view. The output shape from optistruct is converted into manufacturable part. Again simulation testing is performed for static loading. At last results before optimization and after optimization are compared for crosspiece
