Summary

The main structure of any self-propelled construction is the frame which connects its component parts. In automotive, this is called chassis. The main purpose of this the-sis is the design and the development of a chassis for the prototype electric vehicle, ER2015. This project takes place in the Technical University of Crete. The design is carried out based on specific standards which are related to the participation regula-tions of the international fuel economy competition, "Shell Eco Marathon". The stand-ards are also related to the proper and functional positioning of all vehicle systems. Naturally the above process shall be guided by the commercial availability of the com-ponents we need. After the design process, the modeling process follows. Using a specialized preprocessor, we apply the static loads on the frame and then we run the finite element analysis. In the second step, we use the same CAE software suite to run the modal analysis. This analysis determines the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of a chassis. This way we can partly understand the dynamic behavior of the frame structure. These analyses are made for the 2014 and the 2015 car frames. Final-ly, the results comparison shows the final project proposal which goes into construc-tion.
