Lightweight Design of Absorber Spring Plate Based on Topological Optimization Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

HyperMesh was used to mesh the absorber spring plate, and MATLAB was used to read-in grid node coordinate file and to carry on multi-target structure topological optimization design through the self-compiled program. Objective functions include rigidity, volume and fatigue life etc. model reconstitution, CAE analysis and experimental verification were completed according to the optimization result. Results showed that optimized spring plate met the using need and lightweight design was accomplished.
