Özet

In order to meet today's vehicle design requirements and to improve the cost and fuel efficiency, there is an increasing interest to design light-weight and cost-effective vehicle components. In this study, a topology design approach, which aims at defining of an optimum model at design stage, is used to decrease product cost and lead time to markets. An example of a vehicle component design is presented to illustrate the application of the topology optimisation approach for the optimal design of vehicle components.
