A novel module reconfiguration design and structure optimization method of bus body are proposed based on sensitivity analysis in order to perform lightweight design of bus body.The design dimensions of the sensitivity analysis are reduced by using the body module,moreover,the module reconfiguration and the structure optimization of bus body are performed based on the sensitivity coefficient of each sub-block thickness for body torsional stiffness.Finally,the feasibility of this method to the lightweight design of bus body is verified by comparing the strength of the vehicle before and after optimization.The research results show that the method not only makes the weight and maximum stress of bus body decrease 460 kg and 4.26%,respectively,but also reduce the complexity of body structure optimization design.
