Stiffness optimization

Mxpp+kx=F
Xpp=RMS acceleration
X value can be determined
axial stiffness calculated by
Longitudinal vibration of rods.
A is the cross-sectional area, E is the (tensile) elastic modulus L is the length of the element.
the stiffness coefficient of the rod is given by k =
EA
l

Cross sectional area A=w*t (w is the width and t is the height)
L is the length
K value can be changed/optimized by l is inversely proportional
(or Young's modulus),

Transverse vibration of cantilever beams.
The cantilever beam (Fig.1.4) stiffness is k =
3EI
l
3


E=Youngs Modulus l is the length
I second moment of inertia
wt
3

3
w is width and t is the height
So k =
t
3
l
3

If l, t is cubic functions it is better to change to parameter (for optimization)
Height is directly proportional 3 times increase the stiffness
Length is inversely proptional 3 times decrease the stiffness

Torsional stiffness
The torsional stiffness of the shaft (Fig.1.5) is K =
