Analysis and Optimization on the Front Supporter of Concrete Mixer Truck

摘要

The finite element software ANSYS is applied to optimize the front supporter of the concrete mixer truck. The main goal of the optimization is to reduce the quality. The statics analysis and the modal analysis of the front supporter are performed in the most dangerous work condition. The results of the two analyses are combined to explore improvement methods. Then, the topology optimization is performed to propose and establish the final shape and parameterization model. Finally, the multi-objective size optimization is performed to obtain the best optimization result. The maximum equivalent stress has reduced by 7.5%, and the quality has reduced by 13%.
