ENGINEERING DESIGN WITH PSO ALGORITHM

Currently, engineering design faces multiple complexity as it is very dependent
on computer to ensure adequate modelling and simulation optimisation. This creates
such problems and one of the root causes is the amount variables used by design
engineers. To optimise a mechanical design by the means of distance or even shape, it
needs to these handle large numbers of variables, and optimal solution is needed to for
such systems. The motive of this dissertation is to utilize Particle Swarm Optimisation
(PSO) algorithm on engineering design in the effort of improving design robustness
and tolerance with manufacturing. Creating a PSO algorithm-based infrastructure
integrating with the recommendation system will further enhance solution to the
design problem. It assists design engineers as it gives a clearer visualization to predict
which value of the variables gives a best produced result. This dissertation will
demonstrate the ability of PSO Algorithm in improving design areas by the use of
recommendation system that helps engineering designers to visualise an optimal
design.
