Topology Optimization of Sub-Frame Structure of 2500HP Fracturing Truck

Abstract:

The sub-frame of 2500HP fracturing truck is an important component, which connects to chassis with the vehicle equipment. Because the sub-frame bears tension, torsion and bending loads, enough rigidity and intensity are necessary for chassis. Based on the Pro/E software, the 3-D model of frame and sub-frame was constructed. Using topology optimization method, layout of the sub-frame was determined and location of crossbeams was arranged. Meanwhile, number and location of the connectors between main frame and sub-frame was analyzed, analysis result shows that carrying capacity of chassis can be enhanced without increasing connectors number of main frame and sub-frame. Some available reference can be provided for chassis manufacture
