Chassis frame of semi trailer

In this paper, the hot spot stress approach recommended by the International Institute of Welding (IIW) has been applied to estimate fatigue life of fillet welded structures for the chassis frame of semi trailer, which was locally manufactured in Vietnam. The combined method of the finite element analysis (FEA) and the multi-body dynamic simulation (MBDS) is proposed for structural analysis.

This article analyses and proposes suitable approaches to improve frame structures in term of weight reduction for heavy-duty truck chassis frame in general and semi-trailer frame in particular. Specifically, this study focused on reducing the weight of frame side members, which makes up the primary mass of the vehicle chassis. Some variants of design to evaluate its efficiency and applicability on semi-trailer frame were proposed.
