Structural Analysis of Ladder Chassis Frame for Jeep Using Ansys IJMER
Automotive chassis frame is an important part of an automobile. The automotive chassis
frame is the structural backbone of any vehicle. The main function of chassis frame is to support the
body, different parts of an automobile and topayload placed upon it.The chassis frame has to withstand
the stresses developed as well as deformation occurs in it and to withstand the shock, twist vibration
and other stresses. Its principle function is to carry the maximum load for all designed operating
condition safelythat should be within a limit. On chassis, frame maximum shear stress and deflection
under maximum load are important criteria for design andanalysis. In these projects, we
havecalculated the von mises stress and shear stress for the chassis frame and the finite element
analysis has been donefor the validation on the chassis frame model of jeep. We have taken certain
material as Mild sheet steel, aluminium alloy and titanium alloy for the rectangular hollow box type to
design chassis frame of jeep.
Software used in this project, CATIA V5-[Product 1] for design purpose and ANSYS 14 is used for
analysis.
Finite Element Analysis of Fire Truck Chassis for Steel and Carbon Fiber Mate...IJERA Editor
Chassis is the foremost component of an automobile that acts as the frame to support the vehicle body. Hence the frame ought to be very rigid and robust enough to resist shocks vibrations and stresses acting on a moving vehicle. Steel in its numerous forms is commonly used material for producing chassis and overtime alumimium has acquired its use. However, in this study traditional materials are replaced with ultra light weight carbon fiber materials. High strength and low weight of carbon fibers makes it ideal for manufacturing automotive chassis. This paper depicts the modal and static structural analysis of TATA 407 fire truck chassis frame for steel as well as carbon fibers. From the analyzed results, stress, strain and total deformation values were compared for both the materials. Since it is easy to analyze structural systems by finite element method, the chassis is modified using PRO-E and the Finite Element Analysis is performed on ANSYS workbench.

Design Modification and Analysis of Automobile Wheel Rim using Finite Element...ijsrd.com
Importance of wheel in the automobile is obvious. The vehicle may be towed without the engine but at the same time even that is also not possible without the wheels, the wheels along the tire has to carry the vehicle load, provide cushioning effect and cope with the steering control. Generally wheel spokes are the supports consisting of a radial member of a wheel joining the hub to the rim. Spokes make vehicles look great but at the same time they require attention in maintenance. To perform their functions best, the spokes must be kept under the right amount of tension. If a spoke does break, the wheel generally becomes instantly unbalanced also the hub may break. The purpose of the car wheel rim provides a firm base on which to fit the tire. The motorcycle riders are subjected to extreme vibrations due to the vibrations of its engine, improper structural design of the motorcycle and the bad road conditions. So in this project the attempt has been made to reduce the vibrations of vehicle by providing springs instead of the spokes at the wheel. The springs will work as suspension members at wheels as well as they will provide proper strength that is adequate to proper operation of the wheel. The CAD model of a motor cycle will be made in solid works and later it is analyzed in ANSYS 14.5. The results of suspension of ordinary wheel rim and spring based rim will be compared.
Despite the fact that the cycling industry is roughly 150 years old, bicycle design and engineering continue to evolve, especially as materials evolve. Four years ago, the founders of Rolo identified what they believed to be a gap in the carbon composite road racing bicycle frame market. Not being engineers, the two founders realized quickly that they would need to craft an engineering solution if they were to attempt to achieve their stated goal of designing, manufacturing and selling the highest performing road bicycle frame in the world. Having identified the key performance targets, and having designed the basic elements of the frame, they focused very quickly on Altair and its modeling capabilities. Together, they designed and built virtual test jigs to replicate the industry standard bench tests for fatigue, as well as stiffness and comfort. The result is that Rolo now manufactures the lightest, stiffest and most comfortable road racing frames as well as the only custom lay-up frames in the world, and achieved this objective in record time.

Design analysis of the roll cage for all terrain vehicleeSAT Journals
Abstract We have tried to design an all terrain vehicle that meets international standards and is also cost effective at the same time. We have focused on every point of roll cage to improve the performance of vehicle without failure of roll cage. We began the task of designing by conducting extensive research of ATV roll cage through finite element analysis. A roll cage is a skeleton of an ATV. The roll cage not only forms the structural base but also a 3-D shell surrounding the occupant which protects the occupant in case of impact and roll over incidents. The roll cage also adds to the aesthetics of a vehicle. The design and development comprises of material selection, chassis and frame design, cross section determination, determining strength requirements of roll cage, stress analysis and simulations to test the ATV against failure. Keywords: Roll cage, material, finite element analysis, strength
Optimization study on trailer arm chassis by finite element methodeSAT Journals
Abstract: Chassis is the important part of an automobile. It supports the body and different parts of an automobile. Chassis consists of engine, brakes, power train, steering system and wheels mounted on a frame. Ƭhe frame is the main part of the chassis on which remaining parts of chassis are placed. Ƭhe chassis should be rigid enough to withstand the twist, shock, stresses, vibrations and bending moments to which it is subjected while vehicle is moving on road. Ƭhe trailer arm chassis frame has to carry and sustain the heavy loads which are applied on it. Hence it is very important to design and analysis of the trailer arm chassis frame. Ƭhe design of trailer arm chassis is carried out by taking the base model structure of chassis as a standard. The optimization technique to redesign Chassis (Frame) of a trailer is carried out here. The trailer had dimensional limits and must be able to reduce the overall size and shape and still lift the same amount of load. Different load cases with given boundary conditions & loadings are used. Ƭo improve the performance of the chassis finite element analysis is carried for various alternatives. Ƭhe analysis is performed by varying the thickness, shape and material to get the best possible design of the chassis. Static analysis is carried out for both basic and modified designs to determine the high stress regions, maximum displacement, and normal stress at critical positions of the chassis. Normal modal analysis for base model is carried out to find the first natural frequency. Normal modal analysis is carried out for all modified designs to improve the first natural frequency of the chassis in order to avoid the resonance. The whole challenging task, starting with pre processing, analysis and post processing is completed using Altair’s HyperMesh, Abaqus and HyperView FE package. Key Words: Trailer arm chassis, Static analysis and Modal analysis.
Design and analysis of an electric karteSAT Journals
Abstract This paper presents the design and analysis of an electric motor powered kart. The main aim of this paper is to reduce the usage of organic fuel powered vehicles and to design a vehicle which works efficiently in the emerging electric vehicle sector. In order to maintain the speed levels of the kart, seamless decision was made in motor selection. Alternate materials have been applied in the kart to reduce both static and dynamic forces in pursuance of improving the efficiency and performance of the kart. Detailed design of subsystems like chassis frame, steering system, electrical power train and braking mechanism has been done effectively. The main focus of the frame design was on the stability of the kart and safety of the driver. The CAD model of the kart was done in CREO 2.0. Aluminium alloy 6063 has been employed for the frame to reduce the overall weight. To check the feasibility of the frame design, finite element analysis has been done using ANSYS 14.5. The results obtained showed that the frame design was safe under maximal impact load conditions. Weight reduction was a major concern and hence linkage type steering was selected for the kart.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Abstract
Formula Student Racing competitions are held at various Formula SAE circuits globally. Students from different colleges worldwide
thrive to build a Formula style race car to compete at these events. In lieu to the competition rules and regulations it is important to
design the chassis of the car with utmost priority. The major challenge posed is to design and fabricate a light weight car without
compromising on the safety of the driver. The car has to be rigidly fabricated at minimal expense. The work in this paper is based on
the team NITK Racing’s Car; the DICV NR XIV. This paper showcases various methods of material selection, design optimization
techniques and Finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS. The basic design is based on the anthropological data of the specified
human (95th
percentile male) allowing fast ingress and egress from the car. Following the final design selection the static structural
analysis of the car was done and the consequent results have been plotted. The entire design and analysis process is based on FSAE
2013 rule book and knowledge of designing and manufacturing yesteryear’s car.
Keywords: ergonomics, finite element analysis, roll cage, torsional rigidity, tubular space frame chassis, and validation
test setup

1. INTRODUCTION
Formula Student racing competitions attracts collegiate racing
teams from all across the globe to compete in the Formula
SAE events. The competition consists of various sub events
for which points are given and cumulative score is recorded
for deciding the ranks. Following the technical inspection are
the sub events which include the static events like tilt test,
brake test, cost report presentation, engineering design report
and business presentation, dynamic events like acceleration
test, skid pad, autocross and endurance test. In this high octane
scenario a car is expected to perform high on acceleration,
handling, braking, aesthetics, ergonomics, fabrication and
maintenance with least investment in fabrication without
compromising on safety of the driver. This paper corresponds
to the work carried out by NITK Racing team to build the
DICV NR XIV car in order to participate in FSAE Racing
events in Europe in 2014. The team has previously cherished a
rank of 33 at the Formula Student Hungary Competition in
2012 and is expecting to perform nonchalantly at the fore
coming International Formula Student Competition at the
Formula Student China during the year 2014. The car is
engineered using yesteryear’s knowledge and various papers
cited abiding by all the rules in the FSAE Rule book 2013 [1].
2. DESIGN METHODOLOGY
A Space frame chassis was chosen over a monocoque in spite
of being heavy, as its manufacturing is cost-effective, requires
simple tools and damages to the chassis can be easily rectified.
The chassis design started with fixing of suspension mounting
coordinates and engine hard points.
2.1 Basic Design
During the initial stages of chassis design four major cross
sections of the chassis namely, the front roll hoop, the main
roll hoop, the front bulk head and the rear bulk head were
fixed. The position of the main roll hoop was fixed
considering the engine mounting points and the drive shaft
positions that were fixed earlier, a bare minimum space was
utilized for the engine and the drive train components and
provided maximum space in the driver cockpit area for higher
comfort.
The size of the cockpit was decided abiding by the Article 4 of
FSAE Rule book 2013 [1] with large amount of tolerance to
incorporate 95th percentile male driver and larger cockpit area
to keep batteries and install fuel tank.
Front bulk head marks the front end of a tubular space frame
chassis. The position of this cross section was fixed based on
the length of the manikin’s leg room. The front roll hoop was
fixed at an angle to have suspension nodes on the members.
Links from the front bulk head to the front roll hoop were
made such as to include the other two pairs of suspension hard
points.

Main roll hoop was roughly designed at same optimum angle
with constraint.
Design of the rear side of the car was made to include
suspension hard points at the nodes. The design was
completed by triangulation of members and abiding by Rule
book 2013 [1] and iterating angle of Main roll hoop to get the
best fit.
Static structural testing was done using ANSYS Workbench to
validate the design. Weaker links and less effective links were
improved by modifying their positions and/or adding new
links. Structural analysis and modifications to chassis design
was done repeatedly till convincing values were obtained.
Fig -1: Design dependence on ergonomics
2.2 Material Selection
The chassis undergoes various kinds of forces during
locomotion, it has to stay intact without yielding, and it should
be stiff to absorb vibrations, also it should resist high
temperatures. The material property of the chassis is an
important criterion while designing and manufacturing the car.
A tubular space frame chassis was chosen over a monocoque
chassis despite being heavier because, its manufacturing is
cost effective requires simple tools and damages to the chassis
can be easily rectified. The two very commonly used
materials for making the space frame chassis are Chromium
Molybdenum steel (Chromoly) and SAE-AISI 1018. Both
these materials were analyzed for different parameters and
finally decided on to use Chromoly steel 4130 for making the
tubular space frame chassis because of several reasons.
SAE 1018 grade steel is better in terms of Thermal properties
but weaker than Chromoly in terms of strength. But the main
priority of design is safety for the driver hence the material
with better stiffness and strength was chosen. The material
should not cause any failure even under extreme conditions of
driving as defined in the rule book. Chromoly steel 4130
exhibits better structural property than SAE 1018 Grade steel
hence the former was considered as the basic material for
building a tubular space frame chassis. Even though the cost
of Chromoly is marginally higher than that of SAE 1018 grade
steel, the safety of the driver remains the utmost priority for
the team.
Table -1: Material Properties
3. SIMULATION
Structural analysis of the chassis was done along with design
optimization until a convincing design with sufficient rigidity
was produced and it cleared all regulations by the FSAE Rule
book. The static structural analysis was done in ANSYS
Workbench under different constraints mentioned in the
Article 4.0 in FSAE Rule book 2013 [1]. Methods of Stiffness
and rigidity test of the car as explained by Riley and George,
2002 [4] were primarily followed throughout the analysis
process. Application of loads over the chassis was in
correspondence to the work of R.P. Singh, 2010 [5]. The
maximum deformation is well within the permissible limit of
not more than 25mm in any direction.

Table -2: Finite Element Analysis Results
The torsional rigidity of the chassis was found out to be 2550
Nm/deg using the method explained by Riley and George,
2002 [3].

4. MANUFACTURING
All the chassis members were precisely measured and cut to
the design specifications. The 2-D profiling of each member
was made in Solid Works. The final profiling of the member
ends was completed. The main roll hoop and the front roll
hoop were manufactured separately as they had to be bent
precisely. The front roll hoop and the main roll hoop were
bent into desired shape using a CNC bending machine.
Fixtures were then made using hollow mild steel pipes for
supporting the members during welding. A 8mm thick flat
plate of dimension 3feet x 9feet was taken as a bottom
reference plane for manufacturing the chassis. Front bulk
head, front roll hoop and the main roll hoop consists of
members that lie in the same plane (as in Fig. -3) hence they
were placed on the reference plane and welded. Then they
were clamped on to the fixtures and all the other intermediate
members connecting them were welded in place. The chassis
was welded using Gas Tungsten Arc-welding while the
fixtures were welded using Shielded Metal Arc welding.
Fig -3: Basic Roll cage element
5. VALIDATION
A Validation test setup was manufactured for experimentally
testing the torsional rigidity of the chassis in the manner
explained by J.P. Blessing, 2004 [6]. The setup consists of
mainly three parts. Two stand supports for constraining each
left and right uprights in the front and a swing arm to constrain
the rear uprights and to connect a laser pointer to measure
deflection. A measuring scale was placed at an optimum
known distance from the roll axis. Resolution was be
increased by increasing the distance between roll axis and
measuring scale.
The front left and right uprights were mounted rigidly on the
left and right support stands respectively. The laser points the
readings on the vertical measuring scale. A known force is
applied along the ends of the swinging arm about the roll axis
to obtain a known value of moment.
Fig -4: Torsional Rigidity setup
For calculating the torsional rigidity of the chassis, the
moment acting along the roll axis is determined using (1). It is
basically the product of the mass suspended at the edge of the
torsional rigidity setup and the distance between vertical axis
containing the suspended mass and the roll axis as shown in

Experimental values obtained of Moment and deflection was
plotted in Matlab and the best suited linear polynomial fit was
performed to get the slope from the Moment vs Angle of
deflection curve. Experimental results obtained are a good
approximation of the analysis carried out using ANSYS.
The Torsional Rigidity or the Stiffness of the chassis obtained
from experimental means is about 2314 N-m/degree and it is
comparable to the value obtained from ANSYS.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The tubular space frame chassis fabricated for the car DICV
NR XIV is safe as it has been analyzed to withstand all
possible forces that it might encounter in a racing circuit. It
has been made as light as possible while not compromising on
the strength of the chassis. The manufacturing of the chassis
has been carried out in a very professional manner and the
final product adheres to the design. The chassis has also been
validated for its torsional rigidity to ensure the final chassis is
in tandem with the analysis.
SCOPE FOR FUTURE
The numbers of permutations in which triangulations can be
done and the chassis can be designed are infinite and one can
try and optimize the chassis design by further reducing the
weight. This paper can serve as reference for further
improving the design of a tubular space frame chassis.
