Chassis is a major component in a vehicle system. This work involved stress analysis, to determine key characteristics of a truck chassis. The static characteristics include identifying location of high stress area and determining the torsion stiffness of the chassis. The dynamic characteristics of truck chassis such as the natural frequency and mode shape were determined by using finite element method. Experimental modal analysis was carried out to validate the FE models. Modal updating of truck chassis model was done by adjusting the selective properties such as mass density and Poisson’s ratio. Predicted natural frequency and mode shape were validated against experimental results. Finally, the modifications of the updated FE truck chassis model was proposed to reduce the weight, improve the strength, and optimize the stability of the chassis. the overall modifications are carried out from stress analysis were successfully achieved with the natural Frequency had shifted by 13 % higher than the original value, increased the torsion stiffness by 25 % and reduced the total deflection.
