[0002] Currently, some freight trucks exhibit low handling stability scores during comprehensive dynamic evaluation of their commercial viability. Specifically, these vehicles demonstrate poor stability during lane changes, significant rear-end roll and sway, and a strong sense of danger. Comparison with benchmark models reveals that this is partly due to a decrease in inter-axle torsional stiffness caused by changes in the chassis structure. Furthermore, existing chassis optimization methods are overly complex and focus primarily on weight reduction, neglecting overall vehicle layout requirements and cost considerations.

[0053] Example 1
[0054] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for optimizing the structure of a vehicle frame assembly, comprising the following steps:
[0055] 1. Definition of inter-axle torsional stiffness value in chassis assembly and comparative analysis of inter-axle torsional stiffness values of different chassis structures
[0056] 1.1. For example Figure 1 As shown, a CAE model for calculating the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly is established. Four nodes are established at the longitudinal beam flanges of the front and rear axles of the chassis, and forced displacement is applied to achieve a diagonal torsion of 20mm. The magnitude of the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly is determined by consulting the support reaction force at the constraint point.
[0057] Formula for calculating torsional stiffness:
[0058] in: This is the torque value. , The results were obtained from CAE calculations. The distance between the two constraint points in the Y direction; Wheelbase; The torsion angle of the frame is calculated.
[0059] 1.2. Compare the inter-axle torsional stiffness values of the chassis assembly of the problematic model with those of the benchmark model to identify structural differences in the chassis assembly, as detailed in Table 1.
[0060] Table 1. Comparison of torsional stiffness of the chassis of the problematic vehicle model and the benchmark vehicle model.
[0061] plan Schematic diagram Calculated value of torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly (N•m2 / rad) Handling stability evaluation score Problematic vehicle frame See Figure 2 8.4114E4 5 (Unacceptable) Benchmark Model Chassis 1 See Figure 3 9.7166E4 7 (Acceptable) Benchmark Model Chassis 2 See Figure 4 9.3448E4 6.5 (Acceptable)
[0062] By comparison Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It was found that the main differences in the frame structure that caused the different inter-axle torsional stiffness values were the front end structure, the crossbeam structure, and the position of the crossbeam.
[0063] 2. Investigate the influence of structural differences in the frame on the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the frame assembly.
[0064] 2.1 Study on the influence of the front-end structure on the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly.
[0065] See front-end structure location Figure 5 , 6 Based on the chassis of the problematic vehicle model, the front-end structure was modified to a tube beam with upward movement, a double-groove crossbeam, and a single-groove beam structure, respectively, to study the influence of the front-end structure on the inter-axle torsional stiffness.
[0066] Table 2. Influence of front-end structure on interaxial torsional stiffness for various schemes
[0067] plan Front-end structure diagram Calculated torsional stiffness (N•m² / rad) Problematic vehicle frame Figure 6 8.4114E4(1.0) Based on the chassis of the problematic vehicle model, the position of the tubular beam was moved upwards. Figure 7 8.6517E4(1.029) Based on the chassis of the problematic model, the tubular beams were replaced with a double-groove beam structure. Figure 8 8.8847E4(1.056) Based on the chassis of the problematic model, the tubular beam was replaced with a single-groove beam structure. Figure 9 7.0514E4(0.838)
[0068] As can be seen from Table 2, in the chassis of the problematic model, the order of influence on the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly is: double-groove beam structure > tubular beam upward displacement structure > tubular beam structure > single-groove beam structure.
[0069] 2.2 Study on the influence of crossbeam position on the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the frame assembly.
[0070] The influence of the crossbeam position on the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly was analyzed and studied using parametric modeling methods. Figure 10This is a schematic diagram of the parametric model of the frame assembly. The position parameters tran1, tran2 and tran3 of the first, second and third crossbeams are used as design variables and their ranges are defined. The inter-axle torsional stiffness nzgd of the frame is used as the target response. Sensitivity analysis and optimization analysis are performed by integrating Hypermesh and Abaqus with the parametric modeling software isight.
[0071] 2.2.1 Sensitivity analysis of beam position to interaxial torsional stiffness
[0072] Sensitivity analysis using Design of Experiments (DOE) is a method of conducting a series of experiments with planned parameter settings. The main function of experimental design is to control variables, primarily by effectively manipulating or changing the independent variable under controlled conditions to observe changes in the response. DOE will run each sampling point in the design matrix, and each sampling point will produce a response. After obtaining all response information, Isight internally constructs a standard second-order least-squares polynomial response surface to approximate the experimental points. This is done with two independent factors. , For example, consider a polynomial:
[0073]
[0074] The relationship between input and output is called the main effect. Isight uses the coefficients of the fitted polynomial to calculate the relationship between input and output, which is the main effect.
[0075] Second-order polynomial fitting and differentiation
[0076] Linear main effects:
[0077]
[0078] Second-order main effect:
[0079]
[0080] Interaction effect:
[0081] Where:
[0082]
[0083] The effect is regularized within Isight.
[0084] After running a series of polynomial coefficients, the Pareto contribution rate plot can be obtained using Monitor, such as... Figure 11As shown, the Pareto contribution rate plot ranks the magnitude of the beam position's contribution to the inter-axial torsional stiffness response. The Pareto plot is a regularized version of the polynomial coefficients, and the final result is a percentage representation of the beam position's effect on the inter-axial torsional stiffness response.
[0085] Depend on Figure 11 It can be seen that the influence of the beam position on the sensitivity analysis of inter-axial torsional stiffness is as follows: second beam > third beam > first beam. Therefore, it can be concluded that, to ensure inter-axial torsional stiffness, the structures near the second and third beams have a greater impact on the inter-axial torsional stiffness.
[0086] 2.2.2 Optimization analysis of the interaxial torsional stiffness based on the beam position.
[0087] Optimization techniques can be broadly classified into three categories: gradient methods, direct methods, and global optimization methods. The appropriate optimization method should be selected based on whether the problem is single-objective or multi-objective and the continuity of the solution space.
[0088] The optimization problem in this invention is a single-objective optimization problem. The optimization algorithm chosen is the Hooke-Jeeves direct search method. In the vision, the constraint is set to a torsional stiffness of not less than 8.4114E4.
[0089] Figure 12 The table below shows the optimization statistics, with the second to last row representing the optimal solution.
[0090] Table 3 Optimal Solution
[0091] plan Changes in the position of the crossbeam Calculated torsional stiffness (N•m² / rad) Problematic vehicle frame constant 8.4114E4 Optimal solution tran1=200; tran2=50; tran3= -200 8.5657E4(↑1.8%)
[0092] The optimization results show that when the first crossbeam is moved back 200mm, the second crossbeam back 50mm, and the first crossbeam forward 200mm, the torsional stiffness reaches the optimal solution of 8.5657E4, but the improvement is small and still far from the benchmark value of 9.7166E4. Therefore, it can be concluded that for the current problematic vehicle frame, it is impossible to achieve the benchmark torsional stiffness value without increasing costs by simply changing the crossbeam positions.
[0093] 2.3 Study the influence of the inter-axle crossbeam structure on the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly.
[0094] Based on the problematic vehicle frame, the connecting plates of the first and second crossbeams were lengthened by 50mm in the longitudinal direction, but the torsional stiffness still did not meet the requirements. The third crossbeam was replaced with a channel beam structure instead of an alligator-mouth beam, and based on the channel beam design, the connecting plates of each crossbeam were lengthened by 50mm in the longitudinal direction. The final torsional stiffness values are shown in Table 4. A schematic diagram of the lengthened crossbeam connecting plates is shown below. Figure 13 As shown.

[0097] 3. Verification via actual vehicle installation
[0098] Scheme 3, which is close to the benchmark value of 9.3448E4, and Scheme 6, which exceeds the benchmark value of 9.7166E4, were selected as optimization schemes. The vehicle handling stability was verified by actual vehicle installation. The scores are shown in Table 5. Scheme 6 finally met the requirements, which further verified the correctness of the chassis assembly structure optimization method.

[0101] This invention addresses the problem of poor vehicle handling stability by identifying, through benchmarking analysis, that the issue stems from a decrease in the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly. By setting a target value for the inter-axle torsional stiffness of the chassis assembly, the influence of key components of the chassis assembly on the inter-axle torsional stiffness is studied. Considering overall vehicle layout requirements and cost indicators, parametric modeling methods are used to specifically strengthen the structure to meet the target value for inter-axle torsional stiffness, thus resolving the problem of poor responsiveness.

[0105] The structural difference identification module is used to compare the inter-axle torsional stiffness values of the frame to be optimized with those of the benchmark model frame to identify the structural differences of the frame to be optimized.
