Geometry Optimization of a Single-Blade Windshield Wiper

This article presents an optimum design algorithm for calculating the geometrical characteristics of a single blade wiper, regarding its geometrical constraints so as to further the breakaway curve, maximize the coverage of the wiper and minimize the margin. Using Genetic Algorithm toolbox built in MATLAB the optimization analysis has been carried out. This way, by making arm lengths and angles, which are outputs of GA function, to be in commensurate with each other, the optimization can be obtained.
