Abstract

This paper focuses on lightweighting of wishbone structure for ordinary 5-seated commercial vehicle. Typically, the wishbone structure is made of high carbon steel and the aim is to investigate if the composite materials, such as E-Glass/Epoxy, Carbon/Epoxy and Boron/Epoxy, can achieve the lightweighting purpose without compromising material strength. The study is carried out through finite element package (Siemen NX) with the consideration of three different loading conditions, namely, lateral braking force, vertical and longitudinal braking force. Throughout the study, it is found that both Carbon/Epoxy and Boron/Epoxy composites is able to reduce the weight of the component by 46% while maintaining the required strength.

叉骨轻量化有限元分析

本文主要研究普通5座商用车叉骨结构的轻量化问题。通常，叉骨结构由高碳钢制成，目的是研究E-Glass/环氧树脂、碳/环氧树脂和硼/环氧树脂等复合材料能否在不影响材料强度的情况下实现轻量化目的。通过有限元软件包(siemens NX)进行研究，考虑了侧向制动力、垂直制动力和纵向制动力三种不同的加载条件。在整个研究过程中，发现碳/环氧树脂和硼/环氧树脂复合材料都能够在保持所需强度的同时将组件的重量减轻46%。

期刊介绍： Engineering Transactions (formerly Rozprawy Inżynierskie) is a refereed international journal founded in 1952. The journal promotes research and practice in engineering science and provides a forum for interdisciplinary publications combining mechanics with: Material science, Mechatronics, Biomechanics and Biotechnologies, Environmental science, Photonics, Information technologies, Other engineering applications. The journal publishes original papers covering a broad area of research activities including: experimental and hybrid techniques, analytical and numerical approaches. Review articles and special issues are also welcome. Following long tradition, all articles are peer reviewed and our expert referees ensure that the papers accepted for publication comply with high scientific standards. Engineering Transactions is a quarterly journal intended to be interesting and useful for the researchers and practitioners in academic and industrial communities.
