Bogie Frame Design Considering Fatigue Strength and Minimize Weight

피로 강도 및 경량화를 고려한 대차프레임 설계

In development of the bogie, the fatigue strength of the bogie frame is an important design criteria. Also the bogie frame weight reduction is required in order to save energy and materials. In this study. structural analysis of bogie frame by using the finite element method has been performed for the various loading conditions according to the UIC standards and it has been attempted minimize the weight of bogie frame by back-propagation neural network and genetic algorithm. Finite element mesh generation and finite element analysis were performed by Altaire Hyper Mesh and ABAQUS.
