Abstract

This paper performed stress reduction of the chassis of single cab pick truck using Finite Element Method (FEM). The first step was to evaluate and identify the critical area or maximum values of the static stress and its locations. The second stage of this project was dealing with designing a new chassis based on the Tata model, and then the final stage was a validation of numerical results with both experiments and analytical calculation to get the desired chassis that have strong and high-quality design. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
