Design and Impact Analysis on a Frameless Chassis Construction of Volvo Bus for Different Speeds

Abstract

In this project we are reducing the impact by modifying the existing design. Data is collected from the Body construction work shop in Hyderabad. Presently steel is used for chassis construction.  The aim of the project is to analyze the frameless chassis with presently used material steel and replacing with composite materials like Carbon Epoxy, E- Glass epoxy. Impact analysis is conducted on chassis for different speeds by varying the materials. We are conducting above analysis for the existing design and for the modified design. Best of the result we will consider for the chassis design. Also we are going to reduce weight of the chassis by using composite materials replacing with steel  Software used for modeling CREO and for analysis COSMOS
