Factor of Safety Analysis on the Automotive Chassis using Finite Element Method under Various Loading Conditions

Abstract

In this project, a Factor of Safety analysis was conducted on an automotive chassis using the Finite Element Method (FEM) under diverse loading conditions. Various materials, including titanium alloy, magnesium alloy, structural steel, boron, and aluminum alloy, were scrutinized. The objectives encompassed determining the for each material, assessing FOS under different loading scenarios and analyzing stress, strain, and deformation patterns. This comprehensive investigation yields insights into material suitability and structural integrity, offering valuable data for optimizing chassis design and ensuring safety across a spectrum of real-world usage scenarios.
