ARMOURED VEHICLE OPTIMIZATION
TOPU integrates multi-body dynamics and rigid-flexible coupled optimization to enhance high-speed handling stability and structural reliability for heavy vehicles.
OVERVIEW & KEY CAPABILITIES
TOPU’s control arm engineering workflow integrates full-vehicle dynamic simulations with structural analysis to boost handling stability and component durability simultaneously. Using tools like Altair MotionView and OptiStruct, the platform optimizes suspension connection points to evaluate vehicle stability during sharp lane changes at 100 km/h and measure stress over speed bumps at 60 km/h.
INDUSTRY VALUE & IMPACT
Engineered for 5.5-ton vehicles with dual A-arm suspensions, this solution fixes high-speed handling instability and control arm stress. By optimizing suspension connection points and arm shapes, the workflow reduced body roll by 27.2% and yaw rates by 10.9%, eliminating rollover and skidding risks. Additionally, shape optimization cut peak structural stress by 72.5% with only an 8.8% weight increase, creating a streamlined process that avoids costly design redesigns.
VALIDATION & EMPIRICAL RESULTS
The optimization methodology and stress models were validated through standardized handling simulations and fatigue evaluations. Developed with National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) using data from the Armaments Bureau’s 209th Plant, the project produced an optimized control arm ready for next-generation heavy vehicles.
