Abstract: Parameters like cost of vehicle and fuel efficiency are mostly influenced by the weight of the vehicle in the automotive industries. As per the safety standards this is very important to design the light weight component. This paper describes the study of the optimized design of the Air-Conditioner compressor mounting bracket. The study of the topology optimization is done as per the requirement of the bracket design. This study also highlights the factors for the failure of the mounting bracket and the effect of the optimization by various analysis.
