Since the evolution of wheels till the dicovery of supercars, the transportation have seen a periodic change. Human beings use vehicles in everyday life for travelling, shipping of goods etc. Accidents are one of the unavoidable cause along with the vehicles. When we see news about an accidents we being engineers tend to analyse the reason behind them. There could be many reasons behind accidents. Rollover is one of the common reasons for the accident of the trucks. Instability of the truck in cornering is being main reason for rollover. Rollover is considered as one of the most catastrophic types of accident which causes significant damage to the truck structure and severe injuries to the driver and co-driver. In this study an Indian truck Ashok Leyland U3118 is taken as an example and designed according to the standards given in AIS 029 in the Solidworks software. The strength of the structure designed in solidworks is analysed in ANSYS Workbench software according to the tests mentioned in regulations. Topology of the designed model is optimized and analysed to compare the strength of structure. Strength of the structure is analysed in dynamic analysis using different materials to show the best material which is safe for structur. |
