Design and Optimazation of the Shell for One Camera

Thestructure of the shell designed for a camerawas investigated.The duralumin named 2A12-T4 was chosen as the main material in order to achievethe minimum weight,and the finite element optimization method wasused for the design of the shell.Introduced the structure characteristics of the shell.Discussed the using of optimization modulenamed Design Exploration in ANSYS workbench.Chosed the thickness of the shell wall and installationpointsas the main optimization parameters.We can see from the perspective of the result of optimization,the weight of shell was reduced from 320g to 255g than the original,reduced about 20% than before.In the same response spectrum,the stress and strain of the optimized structure are affordable and the result is better than before.It can meet the practical requirements.
