Ch.1: Purpose of chassis 1.structure 2. bending and torsion resistance 3.analisys on bending and torsion 4.

loads acting on chassis 5.rear suspension stiffness more than that of front 6.layouts of all parts 7. atleast 3 engine mountings 8.each mounting wide apart from each other

9. Study about other mountings 10. Load path should move from engine mounting to suspension 11. engine is producing bending loads on chassis 12. increase road holding capacity by adding anti roll bar 13. rear wheels have more traction than that of front 14. roll stiffness 15. road holding a. stiffness b. independent suspension c. soft spring with effective dampers

Ch.2: Main types of chassis 1.ladder frame(twin tube) a. having two main tubes b. heavy c. less torsional stiffness d. easily durable e. find mountings f. torsional stiffness lies on section of tube increase with width

2. Multi tubular chassis

a. to increase torsional resistance increase sections

3. Space frame easy accesible

Ch.3: Materials
a. chromo alloy small and large end tubes are attached with the rib

Ch.4: principal of space frame

a. suspension load should be fed in chassis by using brackets appropriate b. light weight vehicles have more road holding abilty c. Add diagonals d. called diagonal boxes
