Segmented Optimization Design of Aluminum Alloy Goal Crossbar Based on FEM

Abstract

Aluminum alloy goal crossbar (crossbar for short) as an essential part of soccer goals, according to practical needs, needs to be designed in other ways. So the segmented optimization design of crossbar has been proposed.This paper proposes that cut off crossbar from the middle first, then use an iron core turning the segmented crossbar into a whole part again when used. By means of parametric modeling in AutoCAD and SolidWorks and finite element analysis in MARC, the feasibility of the optimization design has been demonstrated. Finally, the paper comes to a conclusion via the way of experimental test.
