Optimization of Truck Chassis Frame using Ansys

Abstract

Chassis frame is the skeleton of an automobile industry. It must be hard to resist the adequate shock, twist, vibration and bending stress occurred in operating condition. The material selection and design of chassis frame plays vital role in automobile industry. The chassis can resist the total load acting on the system and it holds the entire body of an automobile. So, highest stress, most equilateral stress and deflection are considerable factors while design of the chassis. In this Paper stainless steel, epoxy and aluminum are the different material used for chassis frame and it is modeled using solid works software and the Finite element analysis has been carried out with using ANSYS. The chassis frame has been optimized based on the most shear stress, equivalent stress and deflection and also responsiveness inspection is carry through to minimize the weight.
