Design and Optimization of Mechanical Components and ITS Mechanism Using Monte Carlo Simulation

This paper studies in detail about the background and implementation of a MONTE CARLO SIMULATION based optimization with differential operator for optimization task of a few mechanical components, which are essential for most of the mechanical engineering applications. Like most of the other heuristic techniques, CARLO SIMULATION is also a population-based method and uses a population of solutions to proceed to the global solution. A differential operator is incorporated into the CARLO SIMULATION for effective search of better solutions. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, three typical optimization problems are considered in this research: firstly, to optimize the tolerance in cylinder, secondly, to optimize the volume in cylinder, and finally to optimize the weight of the cylinder. Simulation result on the optimization (mechanical components) problems reveals the ability of the proposed methodology to find better optimal solutions compared to other optimization algorithms
