Optimization of Multiresponse Performance Measure in Slider-Rocker Compliant Mechanism Using Fuzzy-Taguchi Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the application of fuzzy logic-Taguchi method for multi-objective optimization of the flexible segment in slider-rocker compliant mechanisms. The input parameters such as input torque and crank angular are optimized with considerations of the multiple performance measures as angular displacement and stress of the flexible segment. The results found that the input torque at level 3 of 60 Nm and crank angular at level 1 of 70 degrees are favorable parameters for compliant flapper mechanism. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA), the results revealed that input crank angular is the most significant with hightest contribution of 48%.
