Validation and Multi-response Optimization of Topological and Geometrical Parameters of Stainless Steel Cantilever Beam with Finite Element Analysis Subjected to Point Load Using Taguchi L9 Orthogonal Array Integrated with Utility Methodology

Cantilever structural element is a standout amongst the most imperative structures in designing applications. An endeavour has been made to provide a comprehensive advanced feasible or best ergonomic design response for the size of cantilever strut. In this examination, improvement of cantilever pillar or strut has been done. Examinations were planned utilizing Taguchi’s L9 symmetrical cluster-based array. Thinking about various structural defined geometrical parameters, a well known numerical approach, i.e. finite element investigation of cantilever pillar is analyzed for internal resisting force and bending phenomenon. These outcomes are examined utilizing Taguchi strategy and Utility idea. In this manner, the best ergonomic feasible and optimize bar is additionally approved with numeric finite element approach-based examinations’ results and is observed to be in nearer co-ordinate. The business mercantile bundles utilized are MINITAB 15.0 version. The result shows that altitude or depth has the most noteworthy impact on internal deformed force whereas length has the slightest impact. An ideal amalgamation of control factors for optimum internal deformed force is observed as (B′-2D′-3L′2). For buckling/deflection force, the result shows that span length mostly influences the deflection whilst the breadth/width has a minimum impact on buckling/deflection. Ideal amalgamation or combinations of hegemonize/control factors for optimum buckling was observed as (B'-3D'-2L'1). Multi-objective response function for instantaneous optimization resulted in an ideal combination of control factors for both internal resisting force and buckling was observed as (B'-3D'-2L'1).
