INTRODUCTION
Chassis

is a French term and was initially used to


denote the frame parts or Basic Structure of the
vehicle. It is the back bone of the vehicle.

FUNCTIONS

OF THE CHASSIS FRAME:


1.To carry load of the passengers or goods carried in
the body.
2.To support the load of the body, engine, gear box etc.,
3.To withstand the forces caused due to the sudden
braking or acceleration
4.To withstand the stresses caused due to the bad road
condition.
5.To withstand centrifugal force while cornering

Optimization
Optimization

is a procedure of
finding and comparing feasible
solutions until no better solution
can be found

APPLICATIONS

Automotive Hood

(a) reference model, top view

(b) reference model, bottom view

(c) optimum layout

Rear Bench

(a) Size optimization


variables subdivision

(b) Optimum configuration


deformed shape

(c) Damping material optimum Thickness distribution

Automotive Chassis

(a) domain, or design space

(b) optimum chassis configuration

(c) optimum roof configuration

Load Steps
Six

different load steps are


commonly used in FE analysis :

bending global stiffness


torsional global stiffness
flaps bending stiffness
hinges attachment stiffness
latch attachment stiffness

CONCLUSION
Using structural optimization, the stiffness of
a car body can be greatly increased without
adding too much mass. The methods
presented allow the designer to explore a
larger design space and improve the usage
of material and/or minimize mass.
