Abstract

Optimizing the design of mechanical components to achieve the desired goals and conditions is one of the most widely discussed topics in the field of ​​optimization. In this research, the brake disc is considered as an example of mechanical component with its design being simulated and optimized to maximize heat transfer, minimize weight and maximize lifespan. Using the central composite design (CCD) technique, different tests are designed and simulated by Ansys 17 finite element software. Using NSGA-II and multi-objective league championship algorithm (MOLCA), three functions that fit these criteria are optimized. Results are merged and ranked by the ELECTRE method. The optimized brake disc experiences 32% better heat transfer, 12% less weight, and 37% longer lifetime relative to the original rigid disc.
