Abstract
During the conceptual design phase of a bus, many parameters are unknown and are adopted based on analogous design solutions or relevant recommendations. This paper develops a method for defining the diameter of the torsion stabilizer with the aim of minimizing its forced torsional vibrations and torsional loads, using a “stochastic parameter optimization” method. During the post-optimal analysis, the diameter was calculated based on the allowable rolling angle of the bus body, and the construction safety factor of the stabilizer was calculated. The method is illustrated with the mass and dimensional parameters of the intercity bus SANOS S 13, with a total mass of 13520, kg. The analysis determined that the developed method yields acceptable results, as comparisons were made with the dimensions of the torsion stabilizer of the produced bus
