Chassis is the main assembly in the truck body. Many other assemblies in a vehicle, like Engine, Suspension, Exhaust, Propeller shaft, Battery, Fuel Tank and Urea Tank etc, are mounted on Chassis. For that reason, the Stiffness and the strength are the basis for the truck chassis. Bending stiffness and torsion stiffness are the major parameters to consider in the design of Truck Chassis. Insufficient stiffness causes NVH, Ride Handling, Safety and Reliability problems. The design of the chassis with sufficient stiffness and strength is mandatory. The overall performance of a vehicle structure is completely depending on proper design considerations. The present work includes optimization of truck chassis with multiple iterations using Finite Element Analysis approach for different static and dynamic load cases on truck chassis and reduction in weight through topology optimization without affecting the chassis performance. Followed by fabrication of truck chassis and experimental validation with FEA results.
