Taking SKMB-200 power bogie frame applied to CRH380A EMU as the research object, based on UIC615-4 standard, four kinds of simulated operating conditions load and one kind of supernormal load are calculated, and then constraints and loads required for ABAQUS simulation analysis are determined. The results of static strength simulation show that the maximum stress of the frame under simulated operation conditions, and under abnormal load conditions are lower than the allowable stress of the main material SMA490BW weathering steel. The static strength of the frame meets the standard. Then, through setting design variables, selecting constraints and determining the objective function, the structural optimization analysis of the selected abnormal load cases is carried out. The optimization results show that the total mass is reduced by 109 kg, which is 6.8% lower than that before optimization, and the maximum equivalent stress value of the frame is 329.98 MPa, which still meets the strength requirements. By optimizing the structural parameters of the frame, the under-spring mass of SKMB-200 bogie can be effectively reduced, and its dynamic performance can be improved, which can provide reference for the optimum design of the bogie structure of EMU.
