6. Results &Discussions<br />

The stress analysis results are conducted to study the strength and stiffness <strong>of</strong> the chassis. The maximum and<br />

minimum values <strong>of</strong> Von Misses stress in different members are observed for the worst case analysis. Fig. 3<br />

depicts the distribution <strong>of</strong> load across various members as well as the variation <strong>of</strong> Von Misses stress. It is<br />

observed that the maximum value <strong>of</strong> stress generated for any member is 39.104 MPa, which is much lower than<br />

the yield stress (80MPa) <strong>of</strong> HINDALCO Aluminium 63400. Further the factor <strong>of</strong> safety is also computed and its<br />

minimum value is found to be 2.5 as shown in Fig.4. Thus, the analysis shows that the structure is safe in static<br />

load conditions.<br />
