The document discusses how to quantify and measure shape using chain code. Chain code represents the outline of a shape by assigning directional codes (0-7) to indicate turns along the outline from one point to the next. This allows complex shapes to be broken down into a series of numbers that can then be analyzed to study similarities and differences between shapes. The example used is measuring violin shapes from photos of over 9,000 instruments to analyze how their design has evolved over time.
Oracle VM supports different types of cloning including traditional, sparse, and thin cloning. Thin cloning provides the most advanced cloning capabilities allowing instant cloning of volumes regardless of size and enabling overcommitment of storage. However, thin cloning requires careful management and tools like shared-du to understand actual storage usage and prevent unexpected growth that could fill repositories. Monitoring tools are needed to accurately report thin clone storage usage over time as clones diverge from original volumes.

Design modification on Indian Road Vehicles to Reduce Aerodynamic DragIJAEMSJORNAL
Reducing vehicle fuel consumption has become one of the most important issues in recent years. Aerodynamic drag contributes to 50-60% of fuel consumption in trucks on highways. Vehicle aerodynamic performance is mainly determined by drag coefficient, which directly affects engine requirements and fuel consumption. It’s well known that drag changes in a crosswind compared with a condition without a crosswind, and that the change depends on the vehicle shape. Pressure drag, a major drag for trucks as they run at lower speeds is produced by the shape of the object. Therefore, addition of some components can suffice the need. The vehicle has been designed by using Catia and then analysed with CFD. The values are compared and the resultant drag reduction is calculated.

Abstract— The main advantage of Ansys is that it helps to
reduce the cost of production and the time it will take to
complete it. At the same time they help to ensure that the
products come out with higher quality and better durability.
Designs with Ansys will also help design and engineering
teams manage performance implications and risks of their
design. Also, designers can make use of computer based
simulations to refine and evaluate their designs instead of
relying on money and time consuming physical prototype
testing. With the use of Ansys products data and processes
can be stored in a server to be accessible by designers and
engineers in different areas so they can all work together in
creating a masterpiece without necessarily coming into
physical contacts with one another. Design changes are one
of the major factors that make product design and
manufacturing cash intensive. Ansys allow engineers and
designers to make changes to their design especially at the
early stages. When properly integrated into the design and
development process, Ansys help manufacturers detect
faults with the product on time, so problems can get
solutions without delay.
Key words: Design and Static Analysis, Finite Element
Analysis, ANSYS
I. INTRODUCTION
The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is becoming
increasingly popular among design engineers using it as one
of many product design tools. It has been used for the
solution of many types of problems. FEA has become an
integral part of design process in automotive, aviation, civil
construction and various consumer and industrial goods
industries, cut throat competition in the market puts
tremendous pressure on the corporations to launch
reasonably priced products in short time, making them to
rely more on virtual tools (CAD/CAE) accelerate the design
and development of products . FEA is used to predict
multiple types of static and dynamic structural responses.
For example, companies in the automotive industry use it to
predict, stress, strain, deformations, and failure of many
different types of components. FEA reduces the need for
costly experiments and allows engineers to optimize parts
before they are built and implemented. The wide and most
common commercial finite element packages are (ANSYS,
ABAQUS, COMSOL, HYPERVIEW, LS DYNA,
NASTRAN etc.). The advent of faster computers and robust
FEA software allows design engineers to build larger, more
refined and complex models resulting in timely, cost-
effective, accurate, and informative solutions to customer
problems.
A. Reduced Weight and Improved Fuel Consumption
Weight reductions were implemented in chassis components
that accounted for 65 % of cab-and-chassis weight and in
the tank mounted on the chassis. Also, super-single tires,
whose rolling resistance is 10% lower than that of
conventional tires, were specified for improved fuel
consumption. [Main weight-reduction items]
Adoption of aluminum alloys chassis frame
(weight reduction achieved: 320 kg)
Adoption of super-single tires with aluminium
wheels as well as other aluminum parts including
fuel tank (weight reduction achieved: 200 kg).
[ref.6]
Adoption of aluminum alloys bulk tank.
These measures reduced weight by approximately
250 kg in total, allowing the payload to be increased by the
same amount and concurrently realizing a 3% improvement
in fuel consumption.
Many types of pollution such as water pollution,
noise pollution, thermal pollution and air pollution. Air
pollution can be considered as one of the main hazard to the
health of human being. The air pollution is due to the
increasing number of vehicle use by human. When the
number of vehicle increase, the usage of the petrol increase
respectively. The lack of the source of the petrol makes the
price increase by time to time. The emission from the
vehicle makes the environment faces the air pollution that in
critical level. Many steps need to reduce the number of the
vehicle in other side to reduce the price of the petrol.
Besides that also use to reduce the air pollution. The big
number of vehicles in each country makes the prevention to
reduce the number of vehicle difficult. So, the other
prevention is increase the efficiency of the vehicle’s engine.
When the engine at the efficient level, the emission is at the
low level and the most important is the usage of petrol is
low. The prevention is reducing the weight of the body and
chassis of each vehicle. This project focused to reduce the
usage of petrol by design and analysis the chassis to reduce
the weight of the chassis of vehicle. At the same time, the
global usage of the petrol also reduced.
B. Engineering Aspects of a Long Member in a Truck
Chassis
Chassis frame consist of two channel shaped side member /
long members, which are held apart by series of cross
members (Figure.1). Cross members are positioned at points
of high stress and are cold riveted to side member. The
depth of the channel must be sufficient to minimize the
deflection. Since the load at each point of the frame varies, a
weight reduction can be achieved by either reducing the
depth of the channel, or having a series of holes positioned
along the neutral axis in the regions where the load is not so
high.[Ref.7]
During movement of a vehicle over normal road
surfaces, the chassis frame is subjected to both bending and
torsional distortion. The open-channel sections exhibit
excellent resistance to bending, but have very little
resistance to twist. Therefore, both side and cross-members
of the chassis must be designed to resist torsional distortion
along their length. Generally for heavy commercial vehicle
channel section is preferred over hollow tube due to high

torsional stiffness. The chassis frame, however, is not
designed for complete rigidity, but for the combination of
both strength and flexibility to some degree. .[Ref.7]
The chassis frame supports the various components
and the body, and keeps them in correct positions. The
frame must be light, but sufficiently strong to withstand the
weight and rated load of the vehicle without having
appreciable distortion. It must also be rigid enough to
safeguard the components against the action of different
forces. The chassis design includes the selection of suitable
shapes and cross-section of chassis-members. .[Ref.7]
Moreover, the design should consider the
reinforcement of the chassis side- and cross member joints,
and the various methods of fastening them together.
The design of an automobile chassis requires prior
understanding of the kind of conditions the chassis is likely
to face on the road. The chassis generally experiences four
major loading situations, that include[Ref.7]
Vertical Bending
Longitudinal Torsion
Lateral Bending,
Horizontal Lozenging.
In addition there is torsion loading and fatigue
loading.
Hence the material selected for this member must
with stand the high bending loads, torsional loads and
fatigue. In addition corrosion resistance is also important.
Apart from chemical and mechanical properties, the critical
requirements of this product are:

The strength of the chassis was increased to the safety level
by adding stiffeners. Six no of stiffeners was introduced in
the maximum stress induced areas which is coming in the
center of the rear chassis frame. The various result plots for
different thickness are shown below. For Stiffener thickness
of 6 mm:6mm thickness stiffeners was introduced in the
chassis frame and static analysis was carried out and the
stress and deflection contours are shown below
For Long Member Height 230.7 mm
Cross Member Long Member
Instead of For Long Member Height 230.7 mm
was introduced in the chassis frame, static analysis was

II. CONCLUSIONS
By using the CAE and CAD we can fine the stress and
create a model as shown in fig. when before modification
applying loading condition we can find the stress over the
chassis is 252Mpa in this condition chassis will failed. after
modification in catia v5we can find von misses stress is
155 mpa and Maximum shear stress is143.11Mpa ansd von
misses strain is produced 0.0012mm and Equivalent stress is
155Mpa. Maximum shear strain 0.001758
