Chassis is an important part of an automobile which supports the body and different parts. In order to withstand maximum load, the chassis should be rigid enough to withstand twist, shock and vibration. In this research structural analysis of chassis is conducted using ANSYS FEA software to determine stresses and deformation under maximum loading condition. The CAD model of TATA 1612 chassis is prepared using Creo 2.0 software and analyzed. Taguchi design of experiments were performed using ANSYS optimization module and various responses are determined. With the help of response curves, optimal design parameters were obtained. Conclusions were drawn based on the results obtained so that optimal design parameters were used to build a chassis that has high strength to weight ratio.
