The chassis frame is the backbone of a vehicle to safely carry the maximum load for all the designed operating conditions. This paper describes the design and analysis of vehicle chassis using different materials for different cross sections. The main objective of this attempt is to reduce the self-weight of the chassis. In this work a truck chassis is taken for modeling and analysis. Two different alloy materials of steel and aluminium are considered for three different cross sections namely I, C and regular box type. SOLIDWORKS and ANSYS software are used for modeling and analysis of this work respectively.
