This study presents the DFSS optimization for the dynamic responses of a paper feeding mechanism. The flexible paper is idealized as a series of rigid bars connected by revolute joints and rotational spring dampers. In this mechanism, a paper is fed by a contact and friction mechanism on rollers or guides. The design objective is to minimize the slip amounts between paper and mechanisms and satisfy the 6-sigma constraint for the nip forces of rollers. In order to avoid the difficulty of design sensitivity analysis and overcome the numerical noise, a meta-model based optimization is employed. In this approach, first, the space filling methods and the classical DOE methods are used to generate sampling points. Second, the meta-models are constructed from the Kriging, RBF and RSM methods. Finally, a well-developed numerical optimizer sequentially solves the approximate optimization problem. In the numerical test, the DFSS for the paper feeding mechanism problem, having 8-random design variables, is solved in only 23 analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
