Multi-objective optimization of an energy-efficient diaphragm spring for clutch applications (opens in new tab)

This study presents a deterministic multi-objective framework for the energy-efficient design of a diaphragm spring for automotive clutch applications. The proposed methodology is based on the direct feasible-set approach and similarity theory, enabling synthesis-level optimal-rational design within a closed dimensionless parameter space. Unlike stochastic search-based optimization methods, the developed framework constructs a complete information set of admissible design solutions and identi...
