Abstract

Semi-trailer is one of the popular way to transport heavy and over dimensional objects by road. Gross laden weight of semi-trailer is fixed based on permitted load per axle as per notifications given in Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. To have higher pay load capacity, unladen weight of the semitrailer should be optimum. Major load (unladen) of semitrailer is shared by the frame hence weight optimization can be done to increase payload capacity of the trailer. In this paper, modeling of frame along with chassis is done and then analyzed using ANSYS Workbench with static structural and optimized by adopting sensitivity analysis in SolidWorks by developing design table with different models and analyzing those model.
