NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF BUS STRUCTURE BY OPTIMIZING THE FRAME SIZE
TEWODROS GAMEA
This research presents the numerical investigation of the dynamic response of bus structure by optimizing the frame size. The study is very important to fill the gap in the area of vehicle structure response due to maneuverability. Here it is aimed to optimize the weight of bus body structure by evaluating its stress and deformation. The study worked at Bishoftu bus model ZK6118HGA, modeled with solid work 18 and analysis has been done with ANSYS 19.0. Braking left corner, and right cornering test has been performed. Optimization has been done by replacing overdesigned RHS (rectangular hollow section) with lower-sized RHS. The improved structure was also investigated with the cornering and braking tests.
