A novel modified multi-objective differential evolution algorithm was proposed to minimize material mass and margin strength of a flange couplings optimization system. Chaos operator was used to ...

Abstract: A coupling is a mechanical element that allows one shaft to transfer its rotational energy to another shaft located at a great distance while maintaining a constant rotational speed. Flange ...

A new coupling makes it simpler to connect shafts. Heavy-duty shaft couplings traditionally have used keyed connections that were over-engineered in terms of stiffness. That’s because engineers ...

Component macro models are a method of reducing the computational effort of full continuum component finite element models, while maintaining their solution fidelity. Macro models contain 1D ...

Abstract: We present a new formulation for the problem of a flange-mounted array of closely spaced elliptical radiators. The overall computational complexity is reduced by using analytical solutions ...
