Metamodel-Based Shape Optimization of Connecting Rod Considering Fatigue Life

Article Preview

Abstract:

To optimize a connecting rod satisfying fatigue life, metamodel-based design optimization is proposed. To approximately predict both volume and fatigue life of connecting rod, kriging metamodel is constructed based on maximin eigenvalue sampling. Fatigue analysis is accomplished for the calculation of fatigue life. The results of metamodel-based design optimization are compared with those of classical optimization. The advantages of metamodel-based optimization are discussed.
