The Multi-Objective Optimization Design of a Forklift Steering Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

The design and quality of steering mechanism is directly related to forklift traction, mobility, steering stability and safe operation. A multi-objective optimization model of the forklift steering mechanism is established in this paper. The objective function is minimum oil cylinder stroke difference and the minimum power oil pump. Steering torque, geometrical angles, geometry size and the hydraulic system pressure are used as constraint conditions. We use non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA II) based on the Pareto optimal concept to optimize and calculate model and get the optimal design of steering mechanism.
