3-D Fixture Layout Design System Based on Genetic Algorithm

چکیده
Designing a fixture layout is the primary task of fixture design, which consists of determining the different combinations of locators and clamping scheme. Designing a fixture is a lengthy process and the performance of a fixture is usually difficult to predict. Designing fixture to effectively restrain complex components has been recognised as a bottleneck in fixture design development. The aim of this research is to develop a genetic algorithm (GA) based methodology to support effective fixture layout optimization for 3-D component. Reduce the dependence on designers expertise to deliver the fixture layout design against his/her own particular design methodology. Efforts of the application are focused on optimisation of the positions of locators and clamps for complex geometry components, such as a turbine blade. Overall, results suggest the feasibly of using GA in fixturing layout optimization. Fixture Layout Design System;3D Fixture Layout Design;Fixture DesignApplication; Genetic Algorithm

The geometric errors in the manufacturing process can be reduced by optimal positioning of the fixture elements in the fixture to make the workpiece stiff. We propose a new fixture layout optimization method N-3-2-1 for large metal sheets in this paper that combines the genetic algorithm and finite element analysis. The objective function in this method is to minimize the sum of the nodal defle...

Genetic algorithm (GA) is proven to be a useful technique in solving optimization problems in engineering. Fixture design has a large solution space and requires a search tool to find the best design. Few researchers have used the GAs for fixture design and fixture layout problems. Either separately (Kulankara et al 2002) or along with FEM, GA has been used for fixture layout and clamping force...

متن کاملOptimizing fixture layout in a point-set domain
This paper describes an approach to optimal design of a fixture layout with the minimum required number of elements, i.e., six locators and a clamp. The approach applies to parts with arbitrary 3-D geometry and is restricted to be within a discrete domain of locations for placing the fixture elements of nonfrictional contacts. The paper addresses two major issues in the fixture layout design: 1...
