Determination of Torsion Load and Weight Optimization of a Transport Automobile Chassis Using FEA

Saira Das | Bommanna.K

Abstract: This research work aims to perform a torsion and Bending Test on the computational prototype chassis to determine its torsional stiffness and to incorporate a design improvement study and note the effects on the global torsional stiffness of the chassis. The stress, strength and degrees of freedom of the chassis will be investigated. The body shape is fixed and therefore the overall external shape of the chassis must not be altered. The engine bay must remain as open as possible to allow a variety of engines to be fitted.
