Beam Design Optimisation
Designed by Mark Little
The
Problem: Design an optimum structure to support a 150kg mass | Mass
has a footprint of 40mm x 40mm | The distance between the two walls
is 300m | The structure must be made from a metal material | FOS
between 2 and 3, based on the yield strength of the material | The
maximum deflection of the beam must be less than 1mm | The design
goal is to minimise the mass of the beam.
