Design and Analysis of Skateboard Chassis

Due to rising fuel prices and pollution, the focus of this research is on electric vehicles. The Tata Ace engine chassis is being used as a model for the skateboard chassis that will be created. The main aim of this work is to design a skateboard chassis for the Tata Ace that is lighter than the current Tata Ace engine chassis. The skateboard chassis will be created with CATIA V5, and the structural analysis will be completed with Ansys software. The modal analysis is used to examine the mode shapes of the skateboard at the chassis at various frequencies ranging from 18.34 to 84.98 Hz, as well as the tradeoff between deformation rate and mode shape. Finally, the findings are compared to the engine chassis based on total deformation, geometric mass, and stress intensity, indicating a weight reduction of 15.72%, which will reduce the vehicle's weight, resulting in lower energy consumption and manufacturing costs.
