Abstract :

mpellers plays important role in the mixing equipment for industrial applications.Impellers are generally rotating structures.So a platform is required to install these members for its functioning.In the present work, a supporting frame of impeller need to be optimized for its weight satisfying the functional requirements.Initially the load calculations are done for the given design specifications.The geometry is built using Catia software and imported to Hypermesh for better quality mesh.The meshed file is imported to Ansys for further design optimisaition.According to the results, considerable stress of 15Mpa is observed for static weight of 1100kgs,which is less than the allowable stress of the material.Later the modal analysis is carried out to find the dynamic stability.Ansys subproblem approximation technique is used for design optimisation.Design sets are obtained and the optimizer has given the best set.
