Numerical Modelling and Multi Objective Optimization Analysis of Heavy Vehicle Chassis

The primary supporting structure of an automobile and its other vital systems is the chassis. The chassis structure is required to bear high shock, stresses, and vibration, and therefore it should possess adequate strength. The objective of current research is to analyze a heavy motor vehicle chassi...
