Abstract— The present work deals with advanced mathematical
stress analysis of a platform integrated structure mounted on
vehicle chassis designed for unconventional type of loading
pattern. The perceptible loading cases in the present analysis
comprise static load and its effect on the platform/structure by
usage of simple shear force & bending moment diagrams.
Deflection analysis using conventional Macaulay’s method
invokes the structures suitability for the transportation. Present
analysis accentuates on the design stage aspects of the platform as
this research is a step in proposed doctoral study. A different type
of combination of longitudinal and cross members in
platform/frame design is formulated. Present design is anticipated
after analysis of all possible combinations& orientations of
longitudinal and cross members. Determination of section
properties of longitudinal and cross members of the platform &
deduction of elementary stress based on the unconventional load
pattern are the fundamental steps in design and analysis of
structure. Peculiarity of this analysis is the usage of combined
section modulus of three members for computation of stress.
Present research provides a tool that can be used prior to
computer aided design and finite element analysis.

I. INTRODUCTION
Chassis is a foremost cog in a vehicle system. Static
analysis to determine key characteristics of a truck chassis
and chassis mounted/integrated component needs to be
carried prior to computer modeling and analysis.[1-4]The
static characteristics include identifying location of high
stress area and determining the torsion stiffness of the
platform as well as vehicle chassis. For mathematical
analysis the platform along with chassis is supposed to be a
thin plate which is loaded by the forces applied at the
boundary parallel to the plane of plate similar as in plane
stress condition. [5] The load type to which the combination
of chassis and platform is subjected is concentrated or point
loading exactly opposite to the one that exists in all the
present configurations. Such concentrated load is achieved
by mounting shelters at the various corner locations on the
platform termed as ISO corners for further reference.[6] The
analysis of the combination i.e. chassis & platform for such
load is realm of further analysis.
II. ANALYSIS OF STRESS IN VARIOUS PLATFORM
MEMBERS
Outer longitudinal members engulf the cross members,
which further integrate with vehicle chassis through main
longitudinal members. Normal stress σz along z axis and the
shearing stress along X-Z plane τxz and the shearing stress
along Y-Z plane τyz becomes zero and the state of at all the
ISO corner locations is presented the remaining components
of normal and shear stresses given by σx, σy,τxy . Shear force
diagram for outer longitudinal member provides distribution
of shear force along outer to inner fibre of the longitudinal
member. Section properties are also computed using simple
mathematical techniques. [7]. Boundary conditions need to
be specified aforementioned to precede stress analysis. The
front and rear wheels provide necessary support reactions, so
at these locations the vertical displacements are
arrested.[11],[12] The displacement boundary conditions
comprises of displacement function u defined as u = û, û
being a displacement parameter of zero value as û = 0 for
fixed boundary case. Stress and traction boundary conditions
are specified using stress vector σn in normal direction& ŝ
and these are related to each other as σn = ŝ . [13], [14] .Here ŝ
is prescribed surface tractions specified as a force per unit
area. The shear force diagram is constructed for half loading
condition.

tons depending on the standard variant load case. The

longitudinal member in stationary condition
Thus the bending moment computed is 31.13kN-m, which
is located at 3.6m from left support/front wheel. This revels
that major component of load is acting at the central location
of the platform and this part must be provided stiffener plate
to improve the strength at this central location. [15]

height of the vehicle, shelter/container height and chassis
height from ground pose restriction on the height of the
platform and determine the space for the
platform[17],[18],[19]. Overall length for accommodation of
longer shelters/containers increases the rear overhung.
V. CONCLUSION
Advanced design and analysis of platform for
unconventional loading pattern using elementary concepts of
strength of materials as shear force, bending moment
diagrams and slope & deflection analysis through numerical
method is accomplished. Elementary concepts as shear force
and bending moment along with advanced three dimensional
concepts as plane stress are combined to formulate the
mathematics behind the platform behavior under
concentrated loading. Applying the identical modus operandi
the behavior of the individual members of the platform can be
mathematically devised. Though these theoretical values are
of least significance in design for strength of the platform, as
they are determined only for the geometry subjected to
concentrated load, they provide a competent contrivance to
handle the advanced computer aided design and finite
element analysis. Discrete analysis of variant load cases will
be attempted in further research and mathematical.
Experimentations to verify these elementary calculations will
be attempted in further process. Present analysis is
elementary step in mathematical design and formulation of
the platform and its behavior under proposed loading pattern.
The values devised in this analysis are theoretical and
experimental verification needs to be carried out. Prior to
experimentation computer aided design and finite element
analysis needs to be performed which are already stated in
proposed research. Mathematical calculations for variant
load case will be attempted in further analysis. Behavior of
platform under braking load and when vehicle travels on
gradient are the cases which will be attempted in further
mathematical process.
