Abstract: A novel approach to the dynamic design of a mechanical system comprising both flexible and lumped components is presented. The method can be applied to automatically redesign the flexible components for optimized shape and size, while at the same time optimizing the lumped components' structural and geometric properties. The optimization algorithm was applied to an automotive engine suspension system so that the sum of the forces transmitted to the chassis through the mountings could be minimized without overstepping the predefined static and dynamic constraints. The algorithm was tested with a progressively augmented set of variables that resulted in continually improved solutions.
