Fist conducted peliminay stuctual design, and established finite element analysis model by HYPERMESH, use ANSYS softwae to study Flip Ams Stess distibution and stuctue optimization. Stength check to ensue the stength and stiffness of Flip Ams meet safety equiements, and make sue the eliability of the design, to povide a theoetical basis fo the stuctual optimization design of Flip Ams. Optimization design consideing the weighted compliance as the object function, the fame was impoved by modifying the paametes which ae most sensitive to the chaacte of the fame stuctue. The esults showed that stuctual optimization design without affecting the eliability of Flip Ams, educing the quality of the pats impoved and the Flip Ams flexible mobility, to povide a theoetical basis fo the stuctual design of obot. Key wods-mobile obot, Flip Ams, HYPERMESH, ANSYS, Stength Analysis, Optimization Design I. INTRODUCTION Wheel-Tack obot has both the advantage of wheeled obot and tacked obot, which as an impotant object of study by institute and colleges and univesities. With the apid development of intelligent, some extent, wheel-tack obot has been widely applied in the investigation, inspection, alet, fie-fighting and othe dangeous and hash envionments. Accoding to many complicated wok envionment, must equie the obot woking stable enough, so the obot stuctue design should have highe equiements. In ode to meet the pefomance equiements of the obot enough, all pats obot design is vey impotant. Take the flip ams of the wheel-tack obot as the eseach object, using PROE fo thee-dimensional modeling, and meshing use the Hypemesh establishment of finite element model, then put the finite element model into ANSYS fo stength analysis. Finally, the optimized design and obtains a set of effective method which can make sue the pat stength, povide an effective theoetical basis fo the stuctue optimization of obot. II. THE BASIC THEORY OF STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION Optimal design function contains design vaiables, objective function and constaint conditions.

THE STRENGTH ANALYSIS 3.1 Desciption The flip ams of Wheel-Tack obot used to connect diving wheel and deflection olle is shown in figue1.it is the key components ensue deflection olle movement accuate and flexible[1-2].in ode to ensue its accuacy and eliability duing execise, we need to know the amount of defomation and the imum stess when it s woking, and compaed with the mateial chaacteistics, we can get the safety facto. Then using the finite element analysis softwae to get the simulation model and calculated[3]. Figue1: Pats location diagam 3.2 Model simplification Diffeent analysis puposes need diffeent equiements fo CAD model. To build the finite element models, If only pay attention to the oveall stuctue, it can be to emove fine chaacteistic stuctue. Fo example, to analyze the whole stuctue mode, can emove small fillet, adius and bolt etc Thee ae many small theaded holes and adius in the flip ams, this theaded holes and adius will affect geneating the high quality gid and affect the accuacy of finite element calculation. And these theaded holes and adius on the whole model has little impact, consideing the foce of flip ams and the accuacy of the flip ams model calculation esults, small theaded holes and adius emoved[4]. The position of these theaded holes and adius which should be emoved is shown in Figue 2.
