ABSTRACT
The automotive chassis stands out as a pivotal component within a vehicle, serving as a foundational support structure for the body and various quad cycle parts. Its rigidity is crucial, tasked with enduring shocks, twists, vibrations, and other stresses. Consequently, the design of a chassis involves numerous considerations, with manufacturers establishing criteria and engineering principles guiding the process. Strength and stiffness emerge as key factors in quad cycle chassis design. Additionally, the chassis weight plays a significant role, influencing fuel consumption and emission rates. This project delves into the structural design of a specific vehicle chassis, employing the finite element method (FEM) theory. ANSYS Workbench simulates the chassis model in frontal car crash tests to analyze its performance. The project aims to provide analytical insights for future chassis design criteria, revealing the substantial impact of cross-bridges in mitigating collision effects on the vehicle's body. The project's objective is to design and analyze a quad cycle chassis, ensuring structural integrity to prevent failures and enhance the region's strength against deformation. Finite element analysis predicts potential failure regions under load, and the FEMPRO feature in CAE software aids in understanding stress and strain distributions on both components and material costs. The primary focus is on studying the load effects, considering factors such as driver weight, car body, and equipment.
