Abstract

In this paper, a method for optimizing a cross-section of hollow square steel used in manufacturing a chair is presented. The chair model is de-signed with dimension according to Vietnamese standards. A static analysis model of the chair is established and then solved to find the results such as factor of safety, mass and fatigue life. Response optimization module in Ansys software is applied to optimize the cross-section of chair frame including width and thickness. Different standardized dimension levels of the steel cross-sections are performed to carry out simulated results. Based on required safety factor, mass and fatigue life, some candidate points are given and further evaluated an optimal parameter.
