Abstract

In order to improve the working performance of axial flow roller of harvester, light weight design of an axial flow roller was conducted based on sensitivity analysis. Under the CAD/CAE integrated design platforms, the statics finite analysis and sensitivity analysis of the axial flow roller were executed by ANSYS Workbench. According to statics analysis and modal analysis results, sensitivity analysis was implemented to acquire the optimal design parameters. By selecting the appropriate design variables and state variables that were obtained from the sensitivity analysis, lightweight design of the axial flow roller was carried out. Comparative analysis on axial flow roller before and after optimization design showed that the mass of axial flow roller was reduced by 15% under the premise that the part satisfied the performance requirements. The result also proved that the proposed structural optimization design method for the axial flow roller based on sensitivity analysis was reasonable and feasible.
