Structural Optimization Analysis and Design of Telescopic Boom for Bridge Inspection Vehicle

In this paper, it is used to simulate and analyze the telescopic boom structure of a bridge inspection vehicle by HyperWorks software, to solve the problem that the bridge inspection vehicle is heavier and the stability is slightly insufficient, due to the increase of operating parameters. According to the analysis results, it is carried out to optimize the boom by using topological optimization. Compared with the previous, the weight of the telescopic boom is reduced by 16%, the stiffness is increased by 5%, the strength is increased by 10%, and the stability of the whole vehicle is increased by 2.7%. The simulation results are in good agreement with the test results, which proves the safety and reliability of the optimization scheme.
