Abstract

The chassis of a lightweight utility vehicle was designed and
fabricated from readily available material in a low-technology
environment. The chassis made from mild steel (AISI 1018) sections,
was analysed using load deflection method and finite element
modelling. The results show that mild steel material with yield
strength of 370MPA is suitable for chassis construction of lightweight
utility vehicle.
