Using nodal coordinates as variables for the dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-06)
The method of the lower deformation energy has been successfully used for the synthesis of mechanisms for quite a while. It has shown to be a versatile, yet powerful method for assisting in the design of mechanisms. Until ...
Optimization of Planar Mechanisms by using a Minimum Distance Function
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
The paper examines the application of a general minimum distance error function to the
dimensional kinematic synthesis of bidimensional mechanisms. The minimum distance ap-
proach makes it possible to solve the problem ...
An efficient LDU algorithm for the minimal least squares solution of linear systems
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)
The minimal least squares solutions is a topic of interest due to the broad range of applications of this problem. Although it can be obtained from other algorithms, such as the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or the ...
Framework for the Shape Optimization of Aerodynamic Profiles Using Genetic Algorithms
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This study developed a framework for the shape optimization of aerodynamics profiles using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and genetic algorithms. Agenetic algorithm code and a commercial CFD code were integrated to ...
Direct integration of the equations of multibody dynamics using central differences and linearization
(Elsevier, 2018-12-12)
A methodology for integrating rigid body dynamics for the analysis of multibody systems is presented. The novelty lies in the fact that the equation system is solved directly by means of central differences as a second-order ...
