Abstract

Prior to the creation of a prototype, designers may predict the performance or flaws in the construction of the entire vehicle and its components. As a result, design errors can be avoided in later phases of development, including production and testing. The major focus of this article is on the stress distribution and modal properties of the entire vehicle structure. For pertinent businesses, we provide a collection of finite element analysis findings and experimental trial designs that aid to advance research and development capabilities. First, we established a FEM model of the entire vehicle structure. This model is more intricate than a single-component model, but its analysis findings are more precise. Second, by comparing the inaccuracy of the finite element model to experimental data, we determined if it falls within an acceptable range. Third, we examined the stress distribution under the bending, torsion, emergency braking, and emergency turning conditions using the validated and enhanced model. We can enhance the structural design of the entire vehicle with the aid of these analysis results. Finally, we analyzed the modal characteristics of the entire vehicle. In order to determine whether the complete vehicle construction will resonate when excitation forces are applied, we derived the modal frequency and mode shape.
