Abstract:<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This work aims to perform the optimization of the iron-aluminum lightweight body frame of a commercial electric bus orienting the static performance (e.g., strength and stiffness), side-impact safety, and possible reduction in mass. Firstly, both the static and side-impact finite element (FE) models are established for the electric bus body frame. The body frame is partitioned according to the deformation and the thickness of the square … Show more
