Application of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites on Lightweight Design of Articulated Platform

Abstract:

For the purpose of weight saving, the heavy metal articulated platform, which is used in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicles to connect the front and rear compartments, is replaced with carbon fiber composite material. Composites articulated plates are designed based on the requirements of shape, size, positioning, connection and load of steel articulated platform. Optimization design is applied to high stress region in the articulated plates to provide references for the improvement and lightweight design of the articulated platform.
