Optimized Design of Energy Absorption Construction of ROPS

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article addresses design of ROPS model with energy absorption structure based on dimensions of cross section, characteristics of force and deformation pattern of ROPS. Optimum design parameters have been obtained from optimized analysis of multiple-objective structural crashworthiness of thin-walled straight square tube subject to deformation due to pore defect using a combination of finite element analysis, design of experiment, response surface methodology and generic algorithm.
