Abstract
To reduce fuel consumption, research on the weight reduction of vehicles is being actively carried out. Researchers have typically tried to replace metal materials with composites materials, but these materials did not satisfy the required strength and rigidity of a vehicle. Composites are usually not used because of their high cost. There are incomplete studies on lightweight trucks that transport cargo. Therefore, in this paper, we enhance the lightness and mechanical strength through design optimization of the deck frame for a lightweight truck. For that purpose, the side member and cross member, which are mounted on the lower part of the truck to assure the safety of the vehicle and support the luggage load, were targeted. The result of numerical analysis on the safety of the frame was obtained by changing the shape of each cross-section. To verify the numerical analysis, we compared it with the theoretical value of a cantilever beam. As a result, the suitability of the cross-sectional shapes of each frame was confirmed through numerical analysis.
