= 2516 TC (TATA) Capacity of Truck = 25 ton = 25000 kg = 245250 N Capacity of Truck with 1.25% = 245250 x 1.25 N = 306562 N Total Load acting on the Chassis = 306562 N on the chassis frame, the torsional load case is the worst loading on the chassis frame compared to bending and lateral stiffness. 1.2.2. So the data that I've got is the load applied, angle of twist, radius of twist, distance from fixed point to load applied and deflection. How much force is going through which component is determined by the geometry if we ignore compliance. Now that we have calculated chassis roll stiffness we need to look at chassis stiffness. There are a variety of methods to load a chassis in torsion. One of these methods is discussed in [1]. FULL CHASSIS TORSION TESTA better way to assess the structures capabilities is to twist test the entire chassis assembly. Turn on suggestions. The chassis is modeled in PRO-E. FEA is done on the modeled chassis using the Pro-Mechanica. When the CG distance is known for all items combined, it is possible to calculate the weight on each axle. BASIC CALCULATION FOR CHASSIS FRAME[1] Model No. Loads on chassis. 3. All of the calculations above are based upon the assumption that the chassis is rigid and has minimal flex. Various loads acting on the frame are 1. 4. Moments can be used to calculate CGs, weight distribution, frame loads, hoist capacities, and effective wheelbase. Now what I was wondering is, does anyone know how to calculate the torque of the chassis per degree, I know how to calculate it for simple round bars/tubes but am confused on how to do it for a chassis. And also the vehicle handling affected by the torsion stiffness of the frame than the bending and lateral ... calculation is done as follows, Fig 5 shows a view looking from the front of the chassis frame. 2. Road-load is the force imparted on a vehicle while driving at constant speed over a smooth level surface from sources such as tire rolling resistance, driveline losses, … Options.

Calculation Example – Frame analysis – Uniform Load Calculation Example – Find the Center of Gravity (Surface) Calculation Example – Design bolted connection of tension plates (EC3) Calculation Example – Cantilever Beam Calculation Example – Cantilever Beam, Temperature change Calculation Example – Undamped free Vibration (Part A). Static Loads - Loads due to chassis parts. Momentary duration Load - While taking a curve. Fig. Short duration Load - While crossing a broken patch. 6. Moments provide a way to combine a number of components or items to calculate a CG for them as a group (Image F). Total Access 5004 Chassis Load Calculator. cancel. For this reason a whole car chassis torsion test is the preferred method for capturing the true vehicle stiffness. Impact Loads - Due to the collision of the vehicle. [1] II. The aim of axle load calculations is to optimise the chassis and bodywork location. Inertia Load - While applying brakes. The loads are carried by the 2 control arms, the tie rod and the spring/push rod. General information about axle load calculations Axle load calculations General information about axle load calcu-lations All types of transportation work using trucks require the truck chassis to be supple-mented by some form of bodywork. How the loads travel form the tyres to the chassis is mostly dependent on the geometry of your suspension. The load absorbed by the brake and the chassis dynamometer internal frictional effects from the speed of 0 to 120 km/h is as follows: F = (a + b * V2) +/- 0.1 * F 80 (without being negative) where: F = total load absorbed by the chassis dynamometer (N) a = value equivalent to rolling resistance (N)
