Abstract: Global optimal isolation is presented in this paper. Results indicate that to optimally isolate a system, it should be totally disconnected from the disturbance. A model is then selected to ...

Abstract: The performance characteristics of vehicle suspension with optimum damped absorber are evaluated and compared with those of the pertinent optimized conventional and optimal active suspension system. ...

Abstract: In this paper the optimal disk spring is defined. Spring resilience is used as an objective function in order to attain maximum utilization of material. Various constraints on stress and/or ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of isotropic rotors which are equally stressed in radial and tangential directions, the merit criteria being maximum inertia per unit mass, coupled with ...

Abstract: This paper deals with design configurations that would maximize energy stored per unit mass of flywheel and would also lead to more uniform stress distribution within yield limits. A “shape ...

Abstract: A novel approach is presented to optimize the finite journal bearing performance under steady loading conditions. Closed form expressions representing the behavior of the bearing as explicit ...
