Struct Multidisc Optim 20, 76–82 Springer-Verlag 2000 Optimal design of hydraulic support M. Oblak, B. Harl and B. Butinar Abstract ：This paper describes a procedure for optimal determi- nation of two groups of parameters of a hydraulic support employed in the min- ing industry. The procedure is based on mathematical programming methods. In the?rst step, the optimal values of some parameters of the leading four-bar mec- hanism are found in order to ensure the desired motion of the support with min- imal transversal displacements. In the second step, maximal tolerances of the optimal values of the leading four-bar mechanism are calculated, so the response of hydraulic support will be satisfying. Key words：four-bar mechanism, optimal design, mathematical program- mming, approximation method, tolerance 1 Introduction The designer aims to ?nd the best design for the mechanical system considered. Part of this e?ort is the optimal choice of some selected parameters of a system. Methods of mathematical programming can be used, if a suitable mathematical model of the system is made. Of course, it depends on the type of the system. With this formulation , good computer support is assured to look for optimal parameters of the system.The hydraulic support (Fig. 1) described by Harl(1998) is a part of the mining industry equipment in the mine Velenje-Slovenia, used for protection of working environment in the gallery. It consists of two four-bar mechanisms FEDG and AEDB as shown in Fig. 2. The mechanism AEDB de?nes the path of coupler point C and the mechanism FEDG is used to drive the support by a hydraulic actuator. Fig. 1 Hydraulic support It is required that the motion of the support, more precisely, the motion of point C in Fig. 2, is vertical with minimal transversal displacements. If this is not the case,the hydraulic support will not work properly because it is stranded on removal of the earth machine.A prototype of the hydraulic support was tested in a 333laboratory (
