Design and Optimization on Connecting Rod Parts of Engineering Clamp Hanger Based on Metamodel

Abstract

This paper investigates the connecting rod design and optimization of the engineering clamp hanger based on metamodel. The structure of the clamp hanger and the working load status of the connecting rod are firstly analyzed. Then the metamodel theory is applied to the connecting rod design and optimization: The metamodel of the connecting rod is set up in Solid Edge, and the design factors are signed as function-based parameters, with their geometrical relation changeless. The corresponding parameter value can be adopted by case-based inference means so that the required structure model of the connecting rod can be obtained. Finally, keeping the fine strength security and stability, the structure of the connecting rod is optimized. The presented research in this paper offers a new reference and thought for the hanger design and improvement.
