Abstract

This study deals with optimal conditions for design parameters of the multistage bollard with up and down installed on the street to protect pedestrians or stop cars. FE simulation and Taguchi method are used to achieve the optimization for the automatic multistage bollard to minimize effective stress caused by the external force. Thickness, height of stage 2, diameter and over-all height which affect its structural strength are chosen as design parameters. According to the experiments combined by orthogonal array, each of the effective stresses is evaluated. And the results are analyzed by using the signal to noise ratio concept of Taguchi method. From their results, the optimal combination of design parameters are proposed.
