Reverse Engineering and Topology Optimization for Weight-Reduction of a Bell-Crank

This paper describes a new design method that was developed to achieve an optimal design method for weight reduction of a bell crank, sourced from a Louis Christen Road Racing F1 Sidecar. The method involved reverse engineering to produce a 3D model of the mechanical part. The 3D bell crank model wa...
