Vibration Analysis and Improvement of a Vehicle Chassis Structure

Abstract:

Product development cycle time is very important in automotive industry which is very competitive nowerdays. New products are introduced into the market with better designs in short period of time by carrying out different engineering analysis. This study is focused on analyzing the existing chassis design and the noise, vibration and harshness(NVH) characteristics are studied. Modeling of chassis structure is carried out using 3D modelling package CATIA V5 and finite element model is created by meshing using Hypermesh software. The main objective is to find the natural frequency and analyse the mode shape of the automotive chassis structure. Results of the analysis will help to study the dynamic behavior of the chassis structure with load application/real road condition and to improvise the car chassis structure assembly.
