Aspect Ratio Optimization & Modal Analysis of Plate By Integrating PSO in Matlab with Ansys � An Automation Approach

Prof. P R Krishna Mohan, Mr. N Ananth

Abstract :

An iterative approach between Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in MATLAB & ANSYS is performed on a Beam and the obtained results are compared with Design Optimization in ANSYS. This iterative approach is extended for a plate. In this work, the objective is to arrive at best aspect ratio (a/b) for an assumed thickness of a plate that can withstand applied transverse load. Further for each thickness with its best aspect ratio, modal analysis is performed.
