TY - JOUR AU - Hsieh, Ching AB - A direct method is developed to optimise a vehicle fuel filler door with leaf spring using optimality criteria. The design parameters include the door's geometrical parameters and spring characteristics. The design requirements are that the finger force curve has to be flat, and it also has to meet the force targets at both closed and fully open positions. An example is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.
