Dynamic Simulation and Optimization Design of the Pendulum Ring Mechanism Based on ADAMS

For pendulum ring mechanism,the working principle is analyzed by using the ADAMS software.Confirming the simulation to accord with the actual motion law,the main bars' length is taken as the design variables in order to optimize the cutting speed. The optimization results show that the length of the pendulum rod increases by 3. 22%,the cutting speed increases by 30. 8%. It shows that the length of pendulum rod determines the cutting speed at a given pendulum angle. Designers can adjust the length of pendulum rod so as to select the appropriate cutting speed. The virtual prototype technology could the performance of the product is not only improved,and the design efficiency is also done.
