Design & Analysis of Automobile Chassis

Abstract

                           A frame is the main structure of the chassis of a motor vehicle. All other components fasten to it, a term for this design is body-on-frame construction. A chassis consists of an internal framework that supports a man-made object in its construction and use. It is analogous to an animal's skeleton.

The main objective of the project is how to develop the prototype of Heavy Duty Chassis with two different types of sections (C & I )of heavy-duty vehicle using CAD tool CREO 2.0.These assembly consists major components they are  main frame (stiffeners, longerons) with required dimensions. .

       And importing the components which are developed in CAD tool into CAE tool ANSYS for to analyze. To find out the deformations and stress efficiency of the components Appling the existing material (Mild-Steel) and chosen material (composite material-Epoxy & S2 glass). To showing the comparison between two materials for components when the compressible loads are different.
