Chassis design and analysis
Chassis Load 1. Bending case
Weight of the components distributed along the vehicle frame
![Page 2: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
2. Torsion case
Upward and downward loads at each axle

3. Combined bending and torsion
Torsion cannot exist without bending as gravitational forces are always present

4. Lateral loading
Vehicle is driven around corner

5. Fore and aft loading
During acceleration and braking

Dynamic Factors of 2.5 to 3.0 for road going vehicles.Off-road vehicles 4.

Torsion case
• dynamic factors in this case are typically 1.3 for road vehicles. For trucks which often go off road 1.5 and for cross-country vehicles a factor of 1.8 may be used.

Longitudinal loading
![Page 12: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Longitudinal loading (Braking)
![Page 13: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Asymmetric loading
![Page 14: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Allowable stress
Stress due to static load × Dynamic Factor ≤ 2/3 × yield stress
• This means that under the worst dynamic load condition the stress should not exceed 67% of the yield stress
• Bending stiffness
• Torsional stiffness

Cruciform frames
![Page 19: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Torque tube backbone frames• main backbone is a closed box section through which runs
the drive shaft between the gearbox and the final drive unit.
• transverse members - resisting lateral loads.

Space frames• Adding depth to a frame considerably increases its
bending strength and stiffness.• All planes are fully triangulated so that the beam
elements are essentially loaded in tension or compression.
![Page 22: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Integral structures• This is a structure where the component parts
provide both structural and other functions.• integral structure the whole side frame with its depth
and the roof are made to contribute to the vehicle bending and torsional stiffness.
• relative stiffnesses.
‘Redundant Structure’
![Page 23: Chassis Design](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55cf9016550346703ba2d138/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Structural analysis by simple structural surfaces method
There are many ways of modelling a vehicle structure.Equivalent Beam Modelsimple structural surfacesComplex models (Computational Model)
• One most useful method was Simple Structural Surfaces. It is possible with this method to determine the loads on the main structural members of an integral structure.
Definition of a Simple Structural Surface (SSS)• A Simple Structural Surface is ‘rigid’ in its own plane but ‘flexible’
out of plane. That is, it can carry loads in its plane (tension, compression, shear, bending) but loads normal to the plane and bending out of the plane are not possible.

Computational methods
• Structural analysis is now centred around the Finite Element Analysis method where the vehicle structure is divided into small elements.
• The equations of statics (and/or dynamics) plus the equations of stress analysis and elasticity for each element are solved simultaneously using matrix methods.
• Early models
