Multi-Objective Structure Optimization Design of a Car Lower Control Arm

Article Preview

Abstract:

A multi-objective structure optimization design of a car lower control arm was operated in order to improve both compliance and eigenfrequencies effectively. Based on SIMP (solid isotropic material penalization) method, compromise programming method was adopted to define multi-objective topology optimization. The topological structure of lower control arm was obtained through the optimization, and further, the new structure design. Results verified by FEA show that the new design can simultaneously satisfy the compliance and eigenfrequencies objective, and can meet yield stress requirements.
