Description

This is a project based course which takes you through the complete design process of a full chassis Frame for a SUV vehicle. Section 1 consists of an introduction to some basic concepts related to chassis design and the design methodology associated with design of chassis frame in a vehicle development project Topics covered : Vehicle construction – Body on frame vs monocoque (Unibody) constructionConstruction of a typical ladder frame Design considerationsDesign methodology from concept to detail designprimary design criteria which govern initial design What is Bending stiffness ? how is it measured and its practical importanceWhat is torsional stiffness ? how is it measured and its practical importanceHow to improve stiffness locally with examplesDesign for durability and a logical process to follow with examplesConverting vehicle specifications to Design specificationsDeveloping the dimensions for side membersDesign Workflow of front suspension mounting clusterDesign Workflow of Powertrain mounting clusterDesign Workflow of Fuel tank mounting clusterDesign Workflow of Rear suspension mount clusterDesign workflow of Body mounting clusterA deep dive into the world of chassis design with sheet metal components Input files are provided which can be used to develop your own designs following the workflows. The course is a one of a kind practical course which details the intricacies of design along with covering the holistic implications of various aspects .
