Step procedure for multi-goal optimum design of a carry-mould

The optimum design of mechanical components is the one meeting all requirements specified by engineers, so resulting to be as effective as possible in terms of performance and reliability. Frequently, optimization problems are not so straightforward to solve due to different reasons. For instance, in many real problems, minimization of a single function may not be the only goal, but attention must also be directed to satisfaction of predefined constraints placed on the design. Moreover, simultaneous optimization of more than one objective function may be required. Besides, mechanical components are often part of complex assemblies, thus making it difficult to extrapolate and define the boundary conditions to be applied in the component for its design optimization. In the present work, a stepprocedure for the multi-goal optimization of a benchmark component is presented.
