Optimizing a cam mechanism using Adam and MATLAB

Abstract

The design of a cam for high-speed production machines with various operating criteria imposes various conflicting objectives that must be addressed to optimize the cam’s performance.

This technical case study explains the application of a two-step methodology using the MATLAB and Adam algorithms in the modeFRONTIER software platform.

The main objective of the optimization was to reduce the stress inside the cam mechanism, first by optimizing the profile and then considering effects such as shock, vibration and pressure.

Powering the next generation of off-highway suspension design

Design process integration of an independent suspension axle for off-highway vehicles

This study presents the work undertaken by Dana Incorporated to develop a new independent suspension axle for an off-highway vehicle (OHV). This multi-disciplinary simulation activity combines improvements to the kinematic and dynamic performance of the suspension while also examining the constraints of the mechanical design and the hydraulic system, as well as the cost of the suspension.
