Modelling And Structural Analysis Of Two Wheeler Chasis Frame

Lot of research was done and numbers of papers were published on design and analysis of chassis previously, but most of them are restricted to validating and optimizing the design for static loads only. In this present project design and analysis of two wheeler frame is done using four materials alloy steel, aluminum alloy A360, magnesium and carbon fiber reinforced polymer to verify the best material for frame.This project extended to shock analysis by considering 3 bumps per second with the peak acceleration as per the standard road tests. Software used in this work is NX-CAD for modeling and ANSYS for analysis. Manufacturers have been concentrating their interests on lightweight bodies. However, fabrication of lightweight body is limited by constraints such as weight, stiffness. Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing process. Frames used in mechanical design, which are still design on rule of thumb, are one of the potential areas for design optimization for better stiffness. Frame specially two wheeler frame due to its geometrical construction, assemblies and complex loading conditions cannot be analysis by theoretical model and hence need a power full numerical approach for analysis. The two-wheeler chassis consists of the frame, suspension, wheels and brakes. The frame serves as a skeleton upon which parts like gearbox and engine are mounted. It can be made of steel, aluminum or an alloy. It is essential that the frame should not buckle on uneven road surfaces and that any distortions which may occur should not be transmitted to the body. The frame must therefore be torsion resistant.
