Optimizing a cam mechanism using Adam and MATLAB
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.

CASE STUDY
Multibody simulation is integral to engineering, enabling precise analysis of structural loads and dynamic behaviours in complex systems. In the context of forklifts, where tyres play a critical role due to the absence of suspension systems, accurate tyre modelling is essential. This study develops and validates a hysteretic Bouc-Wen model for the radial dynamics of solid rubber tyres to enhance simulation reliability.
