Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 機械工程學系 === 85 === This thesis deals with optimum design of headstocks with three different shapes. The design purpose is to minimize the deflection of workpieces at cutting point. Each kind of headstock is subjected to two load case. The first load case includes the cutting force and the second load case combines the cutting force and the thermal effects. Heat generation is due to friction which is resulted from bearing revolution. The quantity of heat generated is calculated by the formula given by bearing manufactures. Design variables are the shape of headstock, the size of headstock, the stiffnesses of bearings, locations of bearings,locations of fins,and the size of fins. These variables include integer and continuous varilables. Because genetic algorithm has the ability of global search and dealing with mixed-variable problems, it is chosen to be the solver. The finite element model used in this thesis is created by MSC/PATRN and alayzed by MSC/NASTRAN. Each example which represents one specific shape is solved twice by the two load cases mentioned previsously. The validity and difference of the results are checked and discussed. The optiimun results of the three different-shape headstocks are compared and the best one is determined.
