%0 Journal Article %T Shape Optimization of ¡®S¡¯ Type Load Cell Using Finite Element Method %A Mr. S. M. Ghanvat %A Prof. H. G. Patil %J International Journal of Engineering Innovations and Research %D 2012 %I IJEIR %X In this work 'S' type load cell is considered for shape optimization by using finite element method. The shape optimization is carried out to minimize the weight of 'S' type load cell without exceeding allowable strain. The intention of the work is to create the geometry of ¡®S¡¯ type load cell to find out the optimum solution. FEM software ANSYS is used for shape optimization of ¡®S¡¯ type load cell.
