DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MOTOR BIKE FRAME

-Abstract
The chassis frame is the back bone of the vehicle, It's principle function is to safely carry the maximum load for all
designed operating conditions. Automotive chassis is the main carriage system of vehicle. The chassis serves as a
skeleton upon which parts like gear box and engine are mounted. The two wheeler chassis consists of a frame,
Suspension, Wheels and Brakes .The chassis what truly sets the overall style of the two wheeler. Commonly used
material for two wheeler chassis is steel which is heavy in weight or more accurately in density. There are various
alternative materials like aluminium alloy, Titanium, Carbon fiber, magnesium etc., which are lesser in weight and
provide high strength and thus can be used for chassis. This paper deals with design of two wheelers chassis frame
and it's weight optimization .Various loading conditions like static and dynamic loadings were carried out on the
chassis and the structural stability of the chassis is analyzed by using alternative material while maintaining the
strength. The 3D model of the chassis is created using solid works and it's structural behaviour is analysed using
ANSYS work bench.
