Development of Mathematical Model for Optimization of Chassis Design of on-Road Heavy Vehicle

Chassis is the most important structural member in the On-Road vehicles. All the loads generated by other components of the vehicle are transferred to chassis only. So the chassis structure has to be strong enough to with stand the loads in static and dynamic conditions. In most of the On-Road vehicles the cross section of the chassis structure is uniform in spite of the variable loads. In order to overcome failure in the chassis structure and ensure the safety, the variable section chassis structure to be designed based on the variable loads along the length of the vehicle. This research work has developed a mathematical model for optimizing the cross section
