Design optimization of a coupling with bolted rim by way of MATLAB & ANSYS

Mubina Nancy, S. Elizabeth Amudhini Stephen and G. Hemalatha

Abstract

In this work, the effectiveness of coupling with a bolted rim is assessed using newly developed optimization techniques. This paper examines and contrasts ten contemporary metaheuristic approaches for linking design optimization with fastened rims. Subjective and statistical evaluations are used to assess these algorithms' performance. Additionally, the problem's outcome is verified through the use of ANSYS simulation.

Key Words
