    The document discusses the purpose and loads on vehicle chassis frames. Frames must carry weight, withstand engine and braking torque stresses, and resist bending from cornering forces. There are three main types of frames: conventional/non-load carrying frames, semi-integral frames with stiffer body mounts, and integral/unit frames with no separate frame. Frame sections can be channel, box, or tubular shapes. Frames are constructed from materials like steel alloys, aluminum, plastics, and rubbers. Some vehicles use sub-frames to isolate engine and transmission from flexing of the main frame.

    CHASSIS FRAMES
    PURPOSE OF THE FRAME

    1. To carry the weight of the vehicle and its passengers. 2. To withstand the engine and transmission torque and thrust stresses, as well as accelerating and braking torque. 3. To withstand the centrifugal force while cornering. 4. To withstand the bending stresses and twisting due to the rise and fall of the front and rear axles.
    LOADS ON FRAME

    1. Weight of the vehicles and the passengers, which causes vertical bending of the side members. 2. Vertical loads when the vehicle comes across a bump or hollow, which results in longitudinal torsion due to one wheel lifted with other wheel at the usual road level. 3. Load due to road camber, side wind, cornering force while taking a turn which results in lateral bending of side members. 4. Load due to wheel impact with road obstacles may cause that particular wheel to remain obstructed while the other wheel tends to move forward, distorting the frame to parallogram shape. 5. Engine torque and braking torque tending to bend the side members in the vertical plane. 6. Sudden impact loads during collision, which may result in a general collapse.

    TYPES OF FRAMES

    There are three types of chassis frames: 1. Conventional frame also known as non-load carrying frame 2. In semi-integral frame the rubber body mounts are replaced by relatively stiff mounts.

    3. Integral or unit frame there is no frame and all assemblies attached to the body.

    TYPES OF SECTIONS IN FRAMES

    NEEDS OF SUB-FRAMES.

    The various components of a motor vehicle are bolted directly either on main frame members or cross member of the frame. But sometimes, the engine and gear box are carried on a sub-frame of simple construction. This sub frame is supported by the main frame usually at three points. The object of this arrangement is to isolate these components from the effect of twisting and flexing of the main frame.
