Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
This paper presents a method for the lightweight design of robotic links subject to dynamic loads and requirements on the overall system stiffness. It includes (1) a decomposition scheme to enable separate component optimization and (2) an approach based on topology optimization for optimal load path design of screw connections. The approach reduces computing cost and mass of designs with screw connections.
