Abstract

Chassis frame is one of the important part for every vehicle. To build an educational racing vehicle, it is started with designing and analysing the chassis frame. Therefore, this project was carried out to design and analyse a chassis frame for educational racing vehicle. It is desirable for a racing car to be light in weight. The reduction in terms of weight allows the maximum speed of the vehicle to be improved. The designing and analysing the chassis frame were conducted in this project to obtain a simple design with lighter chassis frame but strength enough for the safety of the driver. The chassis frame is designed with the aid of CATIA V5 software. For the analysis work, ANSYS-Mechanical module software was utilized to conduct analysis of the chassis frame. Different types of materials are chosen for the chassis frame in order to get a lightweight and strong chassis frame structure. The bending and torsional stiffness value is determined to know the stiffness of this chassis. The chassis was later analysed for its structural performance using Finite Element Analysis method (FEA) to determine the critical path and to predict any possible failure effect on the part. From the analysis, the value of bending stiffness, torsional stiffness, total deformation and also Von Mises stress for the chassis frame will gathered for choosing the chassis design.
