Abstract

Transportation technology is developing very rapidly, this is due to the increasing level of human mobility. One of the most convenient, cheap, and efficient means of transport is the bus. In developing a bus, a chassis frame is required as a support for all the loads of the vehicle and therefore must have good durability. The study consists of two core steps, namely, the design of the bus chassis using Solidworks 2020 and the FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation using ANSYS. In the FEM simulation phase, the chassis model is imported from Solidworks. The materials used in this simulation are Aluminum 6061-T6, Aluminum 7075-T6, S690, ASTM A572 HSLA 60, and JIS G3101 SS400. The results of this study show that Aluminum 7075-T6 is more effective for use as a chassis material with a Deformation value of 14.347 mm, Equivalent Stress 303.13 MPa, and a Safety Factor of 1.6659.
