reveals that the optimum design set with maximum equivalent stress, geometry mass,
and maximum deflection is 169.9 MPa, 58.07kg, and 10.87 mm respectively. Maximum
equivalent stress increase by 35.43% within the limiting value of stress, geometry mass
reduced by 35.36% and total deflection increased by 31.64% within the limiting value of
deflection as per Eurocode-3.
