Communication

Summary: The project "Interactive Optimization in Mechanical Construction Design" is a contribution to the solution of more complicated tasks in mechanical construction design optimization method. The foremost aim of the project is the synthesis and analysis of transport machines mechanisms performed by computers as well as the definition of the optimal design methods of transport machines metal structures, with the computerized calculation of the fatigue life.

Keywords: Interactive Design Optimization, Mechanical Design Synthesis, Transport Machines Mechanisms.

Research goals: Goals: 1. Development of the software support for the synthesis and analysis of transport machines mechanisms; 2. Search for optimal configuration of mechanical system (structural synthesis); 3. Research and adaptation of design optimization methods, primarily concerned with interactive optimization; 4. Development of criteria function algorithms used for metal structures optimization ("Objective Function", "Design Constrains"). Expected results: 1. The interactive design optimization method of the transport mechanisms system and elements of metal structures will be developed throughout the project. This would bring further improvement of mechanical construction development methods and new products for mechanization and automatization of transport and manipulative actions. 2. Monography entitled "Optimization of Mechanical Constructions" will be published within the project. Two M.Sc. and one or two Ph.D. are expected, within a short time. Some topics will be issued in scientific magazines or presented at symposiums.
