Optimization and Structural Integrity of Truck Chassis Using Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: The chassis of a truck is a crucial component, and it acts as a framework for the body and other components of the truck. It must also be strong enough to withstand pressures like shock, twisting, vibration, and more. When building a chassis, having enough bending stiffness for better handling characteristics is just as important as strength. Deflection, maximum stress, and maximum equilateral stress are crucial design factors for the …

Effect of Carbonyl Iron Particle Concentration on The Printability and Stiffness of Magnetorheological Elastomer Filaments
Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) are increasingly valued for their field-responsive mechanical properties, making them ideal for adaptive components in automotive, aerospace, and vibration control systems. However, conventional mould-based fabrication methods limit design flexibility, produce excess material waste, and are unsuitable for complex or customized geometries caused challenges that have hindered broader industrial adoption. Although 3D printing offers a compelling alternative, research on printable MRE filaments remains limited, particularly regarding how carbonyl …
