Abstract: This article focuses on the “DESIGN OF CHASSIS AND STATIC ANALYSIS OF A FORMULA SAE CAR” for the ride comfort. Basically a chassis is a bracket holds the components, transfers load and also plays a very important role in design of a formula race car but can be called as the back bone support of a good race car. Perfect design allows a light in weight with higher stiffness and it is a safe chassis to be produced at a reasonable manufacturing cost. The projects wholly focus in the design and analysis of a fsae chassis which can sustain to the racing world. Introduction to the various types of analysis which can be performed on the formula student race car, based on the concepts of space frame’s load distributions like lateral, longitudinal vertical and horizontal torsion and consequent deformation modes in order to ensure the safety of the driver and the various ways by which the results obtained after the analysis can be optimized for the safety of the driver has been discussed, one can easily get an idea about how to perform different types of analysis by applying what amount of loads on a student formula race car. The project work has the loading conditions & boundary conditions for different type of analysis like stress, deformation analysis of chassis.
