Abstract - Design of suspension systems forHeavyTrucksis
always challenging due to the heavy loads the system is
exposed to and the long life requirements for the total
system. Topology optimization is used at theconceptlevel of
the design process to arrive at a conceptual design proposal
that is then fine-tuned for performance and
manufacturability. Due to this avoidscostlydesigniterations
and time consuming. Hence it reduces design development
time and overall cost of improved design performance. A
mathematical approach that optimizes material layout
within a given design space, and for a given set of loads and
boundary conditions such that the resulting structuremeets
a prescribed set of performance targets. Engineers can find
the best design concept that meets the design requirements
by using topology optimization. Application of topology
optimization has been done with finite elements methods
INTRODUCTION
Optimization carried out by considering space design is the
allowable volume within which the design can exist.
Assembly and packaging requirements, human and tool
accessibility are some of the factors that need to be
considered in identifying this space, with the definition of
the design space. Regions or components in the model that
cannot be modified during the courseoftheoptimization are
considered as non-design regions. It will be shown that the
optimum topology obtained #rom an example topology
optimization process is independent of the material used
and the dimension size of the structure. Withoutconsidering
any cad model Topology optimization is carry out by
considering box model.
In this paper describe the how to achieved the optimization
of support for more strength, stiffness and lessweight.From
optimization we got solution near the mass production,
design is improve in the weak areas of the part.
THESETUPPARAMETERS forTOPOLOGYOPTIMIZATION
The side cast support bracket is neatly meshed as in case of
the topology optimization the person can assign to the part
different densities but cannot move the grid points in to the
model.

CONCLUSIONS
To Perform Optimization of a Suspension Shackle support
under load cases as per industry standard using topology
optimization methodology.
These includes literature review that is to judge to be
significant for this analysis, complete modeling of Shackle
support.
Following are the conclusions drawn from above analysis
report.
1. All the steps of the optimization methodology are
described briefly. This method can be used to optimize any
kind of structure. The suspension shackle support is
optimized to show application of methodology.
2. The topology optimization is advanced function of many
analysis software this is the functionality to empower
analysis/design specialist with these currently available in
the market useful tools to optimize any complicated model.
3. Using this methodology we have saved the material 30%.
4. The optimized Suspension Shackle support is
manufacturable and the shape does not interfere with the
working of other nearby components.
5. Further, these loads are used in Finite element analysis of
suspension shackle support and stresses are found out for
every load i.e. longitudinal, vertical, lateral, racking, cross
twist and bogie twist results shows maximum stresses are
found near holes and corners but are within specified limits.
