Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This study proposes a robust and effective evolutionary shape optimization methodology for bell design. Axisymmetric bell profiles are defined within a 2D-half-cross-sectional design space, from which a 3D finite element model is constructed. An objective function is formulated in terms of a desired tuning spectrum and evaluated through a modal analysis. A pseudo-velocity of the boundary profile is derived via a sensitivity analysis and is used to iteratively evolve the design and minimize the tuning error. A series of computational design examples are provided demonstrating effective tuning of up to twelve partial frequencies simultaneously with tuning accuracy equal to or improved with respect to hand-tuned bell data in current literature. Finally, the proposed method is experimentally validated through fabrication of a prototype bell which exhibits close correlation of partial frequencies with its computational model.
