Question: ( 2 pts ) This problem considers the design space and objective space for the cantilever beam spring provided below. You are trying to target

(2 pts) This problem considers the design space and objective space for the cantilever beam spring provided below. You are trying to target a deflection of 2 mm at the beam tip and minimize stress, , at the location shown in the figures below. Given the information provided in the figures, ...
a) Determine the width (b) and thickness (h) required (i.e. your design space coordinates) for each of the two Pareto optimal solutions shown in the objective space.
b) One design places all the emphasis on stress minimization, the other places all the emphasis on hitting the target deflection. Which one is which?

=6PLbh2
\table[[Parameter,Value,Units (SI)],[E,207109,Pa],[P,10,N],[L,6010-3,m],[b,1010-3 to 1610-3,m],[h,110-3 to 1.510-3,m]]
Hints:
Watch your units. I recommend doing everything in SI units (i.e., in this case use m,Pa,N)
Design A is deflecting less than the target value (i.e. actual tip deflection is 2-1.227=0.773mm)
With some algebra, you can show
h=2L23E
