This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on materials for electric vehicle chassis design, testing, and analysis. The chassis for a car should have good rigidity and should be light in weight which are very crucial parameters. To create any car frame is the basic and main structure. It connects rear and front suspension rigidly. Along with this it provides support to the various components of the car. This paper describes the simulation of electric vehicle (EV) Chassis frame with square beam for finding stress, strain and deformation properties in structural body by using finite element analysis (FEA) tools and strain gauge. In this case of chassis structure, we are considering engine weight, alternator weight, motor weight as well as battery pack weight. The total weight on chassis structure is approximately around 4 ton. We are working on finding maximum stress, maximum strain and deformation in structural body by using FEA tools as well as strain gauge.
