摘要
In this paper, the structural optimization of a real bus structure is proposed. The proposed optimization has been accomplished by means of genetic algorithms. The structural behavior of the bus structure when subjected to weight and torsion was also analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). The results demonstrate that improved weight and torsional stiffness are achieved with the optimized structure.
