    The document discusses using topology, parametric, and intuitive optimization to reduce the costs of rollover protective structures (ROPS) for agriculture tractors while still meeting safety standards. It tests different materials, finding that using SAE 1010 steel allows for more plastic deformation compared to the original ASTM A500 grade C steel, reducing costs. Further optimizations using higher strength S420MC and S500MC steels found weight reductions of up to 35% while maintaining sufficient strain energy to meet safety standards. The next steps are optimizing the design of a complete tractor cabin.

    S420MC

    There is the possibility to reduce thickness.


    S420MC

    Instead of earning by a
    cheap material, you earn
    reducing the total weight.

    In this case, 25% less


    weight.
    S500MC

    In this case, 35% less


    weight.

    The rise of the yield


    strenth implies in the
    raise of the strain energy.
