Intelligent design of carrying systems of serial metal-cutting machines

Questions of practical use of the technology of intelligent design of carrying systems of heavy multi-purpose machines developed by us and design of other types of metal-cutting machines – horizontal coordinate-boring machine, single-standard turning-merry-go-round machine are considered. The technology has four stages: 1) calculation of all external forces and loads, 2) formation of the boundary conditions (force, kinematics) for individual carrier constructions, 3) solution to the problem of final optimal distribution of a material by the individual supporting constructions with the real cross-section, 4) dynamic analysis. Results of calculation are compared to known literature data for these machines, received by other methods. Divergences in results of calculation are a consequence of not full basic data on these machines, presented in literature. Possibility of spread of technology of heavy multi-purpose machines carrying systems design on other types of machines is confirmed. It is shown that in case of possibility of objective function formation in an explicit form, usage of the direct optimization methods leads to faster and adequate decisions.
