摘要
In recent years,mega-casting aluminum alloy structures have gradually been used to replace traditional stamping-welded body-in-white structures. The study on lightweight design of mega-casting aluminum alloy rear floor structure is conduced in this paper. An equivalent analysis scheme is proposed for the analysis of mega-casting vehicle body components. Regarding the processing and performance of the mega-casting structure,the processing constraints for the design are investigated,and the heterogeneity of its material properties is clarified. Based on the topology optimization method,the design domain of the structure is analyzed and the ideal topological design is obtained. Finally,a lightweight design is carried out,achieving a 7% weight reduction while ensuring performance. The study illustrates the design and optimization process of the mega-casting vehicle body components,which has certain reference significance. © 2024 SAE-China. All rights reserved.
