Design and Durability Analysis of Ladder Chassis Frame

The chassis frame is a main structural component to which all the other parts are attached. The chassis frame acts as the skeleton of the automobile so it should be able to withstand against various load condition but at the same time, it should be light weighted to reduce the inertia effect. One of the major challenges in the automobile industry is related to regular maintenance of the vehicle which operates in villages that have uneven surfaces (bumps) which ultimately result in an extravagant asset for those customers. Now a day the focus of the manufacturing industries is to increase payload capacity on possible less weight. The main focus of the RND teams on the durability of the truck so in this Research, we also work on truck durability analysis. This paper presents the study of the solution which is already generated in the industries related to the design and analysis of a ladder chassis frame of heavy-duty vehicles. Deflection under static loading condition is the design factor considered in this paper. The model was designed on PTC Creo and FEA software Hypermesh. The model is validated by the result generated by the FEA software. The scope of the Project is to Design and Analyze a chassis Frame to ensure that the design is under the safe limit or not. This paper has revised the other papers which were published in past years. This paper will provide a basic understanding of the use of FEA and design software for the analysis of the chassis frame.
