Abstract Details

2005, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Mechanical Engineering.
Multicriteria optimization plays a very important role in product development. During the product concept phase, the designer decides a set of objectives that needs to be optimized. Every designer strives to achieve a utopian design that will optimize all the objectives. In real life, such a design is impossible to achieve. One of the reasons is the conflicting nature of objectives that need to be optimized. The designer has to arrive at a compromised design that will satisfy the requirement to the greatest extent. Compromise involves tradeoffs between efficiency, cost, quality and other attributes. The method presented here shows the implementation of a multi-criteria optimization technique. Various techniques that are used are presented and later one of them is illustrated using a gear train optimization problem. Numerous solutions are obtained by the analysis and they all are optimal solutions. To choose between the designs is one of the difficult tasks and it depends on the designer’s judgment. There are available methods that provide valuable information about each design, and it helps the designer in making correct decision. The proposed study incorporates one such decision technique. The approach provides valuable insight in solving real life design problems using multi-criteria optimization technique. This method can be a part of an expert system built for gear-train design.
