Multi-objective optimizing spring placement and stiffness in slider-crank mechanisms for enhanced dynamic parameters.

ABSTRACT: The slider-crank mechanism (SCM) is fundamental to various mechanical systems. However, optimizing its dynamic performance remains a pressing challenge due to excessive torque, joint reactions, and energy consumption. This study introduces two key innovations to address these challenges: (1) the integration of springs into SCM to optimize dynamic performance and (2) a novel hybrid optimization approach combining the Conjugate Direction with Orthogonal Shift (CDOS) method and Parameter Space Investigation (PSI). The mathematical model evaluates the effects of spring placement and stiffness on critical performance parameters such as energy efficiency, torque demands, and joint forces. The hybrid CDOS-PSI approach systematically identifies optimal design configurations to balance these perfor
