The Optimization Design of a Heavy Truck Leaf Spring

Article Preview

Abstract:

The traditional design method of heavy truck leaf spring is always the trial-and-error method. In addressing the problem of being multi-objective, the weakness is that there is a large amount of calculation and it is difficult to find the most optimal solution. The leaf spring of the sinotruck ZZ4256N324MD1B is taken as the research object. With the constraint conditions of the spring's overall layout, stiffness, strength, material, size, and the requirements of the manufacturing process, the optimization design model is established. We follow the method of particle swarm optimization algorithm to get the more optimization design on the leaf spring. The calculation of design example shows that the method this article uses of optimization to solve practical engineering problems with complicated constraints is very effective.
