Optimal Design of Semi-Trailer Frame Based on Topology Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

40t semi-trailer frame is optimized by usage of topological optimization and static/dynamic analysis technology. After the optimization, The static characteristics of frame completely satisfy requirement of intensity and stiffness, and the quality is reduced by 10% compared with the original frame. The dynamic characteristics of the new frame have been improved greatly, which indicate that the optimized frame structure is more reasonable, and lay the foundation for reducing the cost and improving manufacturing efficiency.
