Optimization model of the RLC Vibro-Impact mechanism using response surface methodology

The RLC vibro-impact mechanism, based on the resonance in an RLC circuit a solenoid and effecting vibration and impacts of the solenoid, has shown that it is promising to be applied in machines with dimentional restrictions. This paper reports on the development of predicted mathematical models for the mechanism of working conditions. Factorial design of experiment coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) were used in developing the displacement model in relation to the dominant input variables including power voltage supply and the impact gap. Response surface in three-dimension form and its contour were constructed and used in determining the optimum working conditions for a stable working range of the mechanism. The model was analysed by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique. Experimental results showed that the model has very good adequacy.
