STIFFENING

We know that a chassis to an automobile is like a skeleton to a body. Chassis stiffness is what separates a great car to drive from what is merely Ok. Every chassis is a compromise between weight, component size, complexity, vehicle intent and ultimate cost. And even with a basic design method, strength and stiffness can vary significantly, depending on the details. This paper lists some techniques which could be used to further strengthen the chassis of a car. A stiff and rigid chassis ensures enhanced controlling of the vehicle along with imparting higher safety and comfort levels to the occupants.
