ABSTRACT

Based on the principle of lightweight design, a method of using carbon fiber reinforced composite instead of traditional metal materials to design automobile carrier can be proposed. The method uses the equal stiffness design principle of the composite material parts to lay out the design of the carbon fiber parts, including the application of the laying angle and the thickness of the laying layer in design. Through the analysis of the actual working conditions of the lower arm, the stress and boundary conditions are obtained. After the design of the stiffness, the geometrical topology of the lower arm is further optimized. Finally, the lower arm of the carbon fiber not only met the performance requirements, but also to a certain extent, achieved the purpose of lightweight.
