DOI: 10.1243/F01405 Abstract: In the development of a bogie, the fatigue strength of a bogie frame is an important design criterion. In addition, weight reduction is required in order to save energy and material .In this study, the fatigue analysis of a bogie frame by using the finite-element method is performed for various loading conditions according to the UIC standards and it is attempted to minimize the weight of the bogie frame by artificial neural network and genetic algorithm. Keywords: bogie, strength, fatigue analysis, neural network, optimization. 1 INTRODUCTION A bogie in a train is a very important structural component loaded by various forces in the rail way vehicle motion. The motion of a railway vehicle is affect by the geometry of the track, the interaction between wheels and rails, the suspension, and the inertias of component part s. In the meantime, the weight of a bogie structure should be as light as possible at higher running speed. Therefore, the strength of the bogie should be carefully calculated and analysed by the international standards such as UIC [1] and JIS [2], in order to obtain a reasonable design scheme. In the past design process, the steps of many experiments, field tests, and prototypes to improve and obtain a reasonable design required much time and high costs. In the computer-aided engineering (CAE) product design step, however,the practical use of finite- element (FE) analysis can reduce the costs and time. The FE analysis of the bogie frame was studied several times [3,4]. In addition, the bogie has a large proportion of the total weight of a vehicle. Savings of energy and material are currently design drivers towards l
