Flex Bodies

AIM :- Determine the Maximum & Minimum Stress & Strain Values in the Flexible Lower Control Arm.

Study-1 output :-

Strain Contours :-

Stress Contours :-

Run a Static Ride Analysis. Run a sensitivity study on the following parameters and conclude which parameter/ combinations of the parameter have a maximum effect on the stress/strain of the lower control arm.

Parameters to be considered.

1.Vehicle CG,

2.Vehicle Weight

3. Front Braking Video

4.Wheel Base and

5.Axle Ratio

Study-2 output :-

Stress Contour :-

Strain Contour :-

Conclusion :-

1.Vehicle CG,

2.Vehicle Weight

3. Front Braking Video

4.Wheel Base and

5.Axle Ratio

By varying the above parameters there is no much change in the stress and strain values.
