EVEN Optimized Structure: Swingarm of Kawasaki MotoGP Bike

Optimization goal:Minimum weight
Constraints:Given Yaw- and Bending stiffness, strength
Optimization variables:101 CAD parameters
Results achieved:Optimized design reduces weight about 6.5%; at the same time the given yaw and bending stiffness values are achieved exactly, and the maximum stress in the structure is reduced.
Project partners:The optimization has been carried out based on specifications, CAD and FEM models provided by Suter Racing Technology AG.
