{"title":"SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A TWO WHEELER SUSPENSION WITH\u0000DIFFERENT CROSS SECTIONS","authors":"","doi":"10.48047/ijarst/v10/i12/01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.48047/ijarst/v10/i12/01","url":null,"abstract":"The two-wheeler chassis consists of the frame, suspension, wheels and brakes. The chassis is\u0000what truly sets the overall style of the two-wheeler. Automotive chassis is the main carriage\u0000systems of a vehicle. The frame serves as a skeleton upon which parts like gearbox and engine\u0000are mounted. It can be made of steel, aluminum or an alloy. It keeps the wheels in line to\u0000maintain the handling of the two-wheeler.The frame of a motor vehicle supports all the drive\u0000assemblies, i.e. the engine, gearbox and axles (front and rear). In addition the suspension and\u0000steering systems and the shock absorbers are attached to it. The appropriate body is fixed to the\u0000chassis. It is essential that the frame should not buckle on uneven road surfaces and that any\u0000distortions which may occur should not be transmitted to the body. The frame must therefore be\u0000torsion−resistant. The frame of a motor vehicle is the load bearing part of the chassis which\u0000supports all forces (wheel forces) and weights. It should be as rigid as possible.The main aim of\u0000the project is to model a frame of a two wheeler using 3D modeling software Pro/Engineer. Two\u0000models of suspension are designed for pipe type and rectangular cross sections.Considering the\u0000frame as a beam, calculations are done to determine the displacement and stress by applying\u0000loads.To validate the strength of two models, Structural analysis is done by applying the wheel\u0000forces. In this analysis ultimate stress limit for the model is determined. Analysis is done for\u0000frame using two materials steel and aluminum to verify the best material for frame. Modal\u0000analysis is also done to determine natural frequencies of suspension frame. Analysis is done in\u0000ANSYS software.Comparison is done mathematically and by FEA analysis. And also we can\u0000validate the better cross section and material for suspension frame.","PeriodicalId":167095,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH IN SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133835166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
