Chassis is one of the vital parts that used in automobile engineering. it is a firm structure that forms a skeleton to hold all the major parts together. Chassis frames are made of “steel section” so that they are strong enough to withstand the load and shock. Chassis must be light in weight to decrease dead mass on the vehicles. Major challenge in today’s automobile vehicle industry is to overcome the increasing demands for higher performance, lower weight in order to satisfy fuel economy requirements, and longer life of components, all this at a reasonable cost and in a short period of time. The study is to produce results to rectify problems associated with structures of a commercial vehicle such as strength, stiffness and fatigue properties along with stress, bending moment and vibrations. This can be achieved by static and dynamic analysis, combining existing theoretical knowledge and advanced analytical methods. Design of a Chassis is carried by using CATIA .And finite element analysis will be carried out by using ANSYS.
