Optimum Design of Automobile Chassis Bracket Based on Topography Optimization
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
A Bracket is a component used to support load or any attachments to structural element for heavy vehicle. It is subjected to different types of loading while the vehicle is in motion. One of the main common loading is static load which is assumed to be constant throughout the operation. This static load is main causes for the failure of bracket. To reduce the failures stress concentration needs to be reduced at vicinity of the joint hole of the bracket, as the hole is highly stressed region. The objective of the research work is study the static behavior of the truck cross member bracket, failure analysis and reduction of weight by changing the geometrical features and structural properties. The failure analysis of the cross member bracket is effected by design and analysis approach. The failure analysis has been carried out by using standard FE tools. In this investigation FEA model has been generated for truck cross member with the specified quality criteria and analyzed for the optimized results. The results show the reduction in stress values and leads to safe design. The final geometry of bracket weight is reduced to 61%.
