This research aims to simulate structural steel 400 (SS400) material as an alternative material for the electric bus’s chassis structure. The kind of the material is low carbon steel. The SS400 material is produced from one of the largest steel mills in Indonesia, considered a local material. The local material used to increase the total domestic content in electric cars in Indonesia could be improved. Generally, the reverse engineering method of the R260 ladder frame type chassis is used to increase the local content in electric vehicles. However, this research used a ladder frame of type SS400 from local material to fulfill the local content of vehicle (EV)-bus chassis with the reverse engineering method. After the model was successfully created using the finite element software, statics analysis was carried out using the von Mises stress and the simulation results’ deflection. The meshing process of the chassis structure is carried out in such a way as to assume global contact. Loading was evenly carried out over the two main beam ladder frames totaling 14,200 kg. The elasticity modulus and tensile strength values used for the material are 190 GPa and 480 MPa. Furthermore, the support was placed in the mounting position of the front and rear wheel leaf springs at a front, rear overhang, and wheelbase distance of 2,380 mm, 3,290 mm, and 6,000 mm. The resulting approach was carried out using a beam model with a two-overhang beam model. The simulation results showed that type SS400 from the local material obtained a maximum von Mises stress value of 75.8 MPa, deflection of 2.568 mm, and the lowest safety factor of 3.2.

1. Introduction

Electric cars developed in Indonesia are based on Presidential Decree No. 55 of 2019. The regulation aims to accelerate the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle Program for Transportation. Furthermore, it is also in the context of energy efficiency and security to obtain clean air quality. Electric cars' use increases energy use efficiency from batteries to wheels by above 77 % compared to hybrid and internal combustion engines (ICE), which is increased by 38 % and

25 % [1-4]. The high level of electric cars' efficiency is due to the low-level energy loss of energy distribution from the power source to the wheels.

Universitas Indonesia, UI, launched an electric car to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the Faculty of Engineering UI on Monday 18th July 2017 at the Faculty of Engineering, UI Campus Depok. Four electric vehicles were displayed at this event, namely Bus Electric Vehicle (EV), Makara Electric Vehicle (MEV) 01, City Car MEV 02, and City Car MEV 03. These electric cars are innovations by

FTUI lecturers and students that are members of the UI Molina Team. The EV bus is a vehicle with 60 passengers, motor power of 120 kW, and 300 Ah. In the future, this bus is expected to gradually replace the overall function of the UI yellow bus as an internal transportation tool for the campus [5].

Car chassis is a significant and essential component that supports the axle, wheels, tires, brakes [6]. It is supported by the front and rear wheel suspension systems that assist the steering in adjusting the vehicle's direction [7]. There are many factors to consider while designing heavy vehicle chassis, material selection, strength, stiffness, and weight [8]. The stiffness of ladder frame structure is mostly influenced by the type of beam used, such as type C, I, or others [9, 10]. The most common material used for ladder frames in steel [11], ASTM A710 Steel, ASTM A302 Alloy Steel and Aluminum Alloy 6063-T6 [12], material Carbon/ Epoxy [13], grey cast iron, AISI4130 alloy steel, and ASTM A710 STEEL GRADE A [14]. Static analysis on ladder frame is used to find the amount of stress and strain that occurs, the magnitude of deflection in the structure, and safety factors to determine whether the material used is adequate for the loads given [15]. Dynamic analysis can also be done on this ladder frame's design to obtain the structure's natural frequency and mode shape [16]. To get weight reduction, ladder frame structure also needs to be done optimizing material use on the structure. The possible areas of material reduction were identified using topology optimization, and the chassis was optimized for minimum weight [11].

The recent study developed in the EV-Bus is about the brake performance of a passenger car based on the temperature in each brake unit [12] and experimental analysis in the test rig to detect the temperature at the surface disc brake rotor using a rubbing thermocouple [17]. The mode shape analysis for the electric bus chassis structure using the reverse-engineering method on the ladder frame has been conducted. The mode shapes are from 1 to 5, with the lowest frequency of 11.798 Hz, 21.009 Hz, 23.876 Hz, 30.84 Hz, and 36.463 Hz [18]. The results of static analysis in addition to producing a shape mode, as has been published, are also used to see stress, deflection and safety factors.

2. Literature review and problem statement

The chassis of a vehicle is the place for various mechanical components, such as the steering system, brakes, axles, engine, tires and so on. Chassis is a vital component of a vehicle as is the backbone in humans. The chassis must guarantee the strength and stability of the vehicle under various conditions. Tie bars that are essential parts of automotive frames are fasteners that bind different auto parts together. There are basically 5 types of designs used for 4 wheeler automobile, they are: 1 - ladder type; 2 -monocoque type; 3 - backbone type; 4 - space type; 5 - combination type.

The research about structural analysis of a ladder chassis frame has studied the chassis of Eicher E2. For this study, chassis was assumed as a simply supported beam with overhang. Pro-E and Ansys software were used for this work. The study also involved the analytical calculation of chassis. Both software analysis and analytical calculation results were compared and found that the stress value obtained

from software analysis is 10 % more and also displacement was 5.92 % more [13].

The modeling and structural analysis of heavy vehicle chassis have studied the alternate material for chassis. They studied and analyzed Carbon/Epoxy, E-glass/ Epoxy and S-glass/Epoxy as chassis material in various cross sections like C, I and Box Section. TATA 2515 EX chassis was taken for study. Pro-E and Ansys software were used for this work. The study reveals that the Carbon/Epoxy I section chassis has superior strength, stiffness and lesser weight compared to other materials and cross section [11].

The other research presents stress analysis of a ladder type low loader truck chassis structure consisting of C-beams design for application of 7.5 tones performed by using FEM. The commercial finite element package CAT-IA version 5 was used for the solution of the problem. To reduce the expenses of the chassis of the trucks, the chassis structure design should be changed or the thickness should be decreased. Also, determination of the stresses of a truck chassis before manufacturing is important due to the design improvement. In order to achieve a reduction in the magnitude of stress at a critical point of the chassis frame, side member thickness, cross member thickness and position of cross member from the rear end were varied [16].

The stress analysis of minibus chassis using finite element method has been performed, case study at Hyundai Cruz Minibus. ABAQUS Software was used for modeling and simulation. Self-weight of the chassis is considered for static analysis and Acceleration, Braking and Road Roughness were considered for dynamic analysis. It was observed that the stresses on chassis caused by braking were greater compared with acceleration [19].

After a careful analysis of various research studies, it has been found that sufficient studies have not been conducted on the variable section chassis concept. This paper has analyzed various literatures. Hence, in order to fill the gap, future research studies may be conducted on the variable section chassis concept in automobiles [20].

This research will simulate the use of the SS400 material as the chassis material of the EV-Bus. The kind of the material is low carbon steel. The SS400 material is produced from one of the largest steel mills in Indonesia, considered a local material. The local material used to increase the total domestic content in electric cars in Indonesia could be improved. This is done because the EV-Bus chassis, which is now converted from the ICE car, is not known with certainty about the material used. The steps taken in this research are reverse engineering to get the shape and model of the existing chassis. Therefore, studies that are devoted to static analysis were carried out to obtain the stress values, deflection and safety factors of this SS400 material. The results of static analysis with CAD software are simply compared with theoretical calculations.

3. The aim and objectives of the study

This study aims to find the possibility of using local materials for the EV-Bus chassis. The research follows the government's commitment to increase local content in electric cars in Indonesia. Therefore, to achieve this aim, the following objectives were accomplished:

- to redesign the chassis structure on this EV Bus with the reverse-engineering method;

- to perform static analysis of the chassis structure to prove SS400 material by taking the load specifications on this type of car by looking at the feasibility of this material from von Mises stress, deflection, and safety factors.

4. Materials and methods 4. 1. Reverse Engineering

Fig. 1 shows that the developed electric bus uses R260 chassis with the reverse engineering method to get the main dimensions.

Fig. 1. Universitas Indonesia's Electric Bus

The R260 chassis type is a ladder frame with two main beams, four cross member beams, and two cross pipe beams, as shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 3 shows that the front overhangs' dimensions are 2,380 mm, the wheelbase is 6,000 mm, and the rear overhang is 3,290 mm.

The reverse engineering process is carried out by measuring the main parts of this electric bus chassis, as shown in Fig. 4.

Fig. 4. Rolling chassis parts are measured

4. 2. Static and Theoretical analysis

From the data in Fig. 4, we have known that the specifications of ladder chassis are:

- wheelbase (WB)=6,000 mm;

- rear overhang (R0H)=3,290 mm;

- front overhang (F0H)=2,380 mm;

- length=11,670 mm;

- width=870 mm;

- gross vehicle weight (GVW)=14,200 kg=14.2 ton= =14.200 x9.81=139,302 N.

The chassis has two beams. Therefore, the load acting on each beam is half of the Total load on the chassis. The load acting on the single frame=139,302/2=69,651 N/Beam. Meanwhile, the Uniformly Distributed Load is 69.651 N/11,670 mm= =5.9684 N/mm.

Fig. 5 shows the distribution of force along with the ladder frame of the EV-Bus chassis seen only two-dimensionally.

The beam with two supports overhangs (Fig. 6) is the nearest modeling to the EV-Bus chassis structure model as shown in Fig. 5. The Ri support reaction is the force held by the car's front wheels, and R2 is the force held back by the rear wheels. While the distance between wheel axes is represented by parameter l, the front overhang distance is represented by parameter a, and the rear overhang distance is represented by parameter c. The moment diagram and slide force diagram in Fig. 6 are used to predict the maximum stress and maximum deflection. The equations on the left side of the image will be used as theoretical proof of the simulation results later.

Based on Fig. 6, the following shows that the basic equation is used to calculate the support reaction, the shear force, the moment diagram and the stresses.

The results obtained in this manual calculation will be considered in selecting materials in simulation with CAD software. The most important value is the stress generated in the equation (13). This value is also a cross-check of the simulation software's values, such as deflection and stress. Accuracy in material selection at the time of simulation and modeling the styles that work on the structure and boundary conditions such as the focus used also affect the simulation's final result.

4. 2. 1. Material Selection

5. 2. 1. Determination of Load and Support in Chassis

In Fig. 5, the support was placed on the mounting front-wheel and rear-wheel springs. While the load was in the form of an even distribution along the two main beams of the chassis for a total Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 14,200 kg, according to the specifications of the R260 rolling chassis. Fig. 12 shows the support and the load in CAD modeling.

Fig. 12 shows the distribution force as shown in Fig. 6. The distributed load is indicated by a downward pink arrow on the two main beams. The suspension system's support on the ladder frame chassis is held with green arrows on the front and rear in this figure. The brown arrow at the center position of this chassis is a heavy load of this chassis structure that works on the center of gravity.

5. 2. 2. Meshing on Chassis Ladder Frame

After modeling the support and loading, the material selection in the previous stage, meshing is performed on the CAD software before finite element analysis is carried out for static analysis of the chassis. The meshing results are shown in Fig. 13.

In Fig. 13, it is shown how this CAD software produces meshing. This meshing process can be repeated in the simulation process if there is a running error in the analysis later. There is usually an imperfect form of the contact element. This figure is shown on the joints and on the parts that occur with a high concentration of holes and other bends.

Fig. 14. Stress (von Mises) contour of Chassis Frame

The maximum deflection of static analysis in CAD software is 2,568 mm (Fig. 15) with a theoretical value of 2,594 mm (eq. (18)). The investigation is also in line with

the stress results in this chassis structure, which do not show significant results.

5. 2. 3. Stress Analysis of Chassis Frame

Static analysis is performed by carrying out static loading on the chassis structure with the results in CAD software as follows.

The von Mises result of the CAD software's chassis stress has a maximum value of 75.8 MPa (Fig. 14) with a theoretical value of 72.33 MPa (eq. 17). The difference in value is not far enough, so the simulation results for this

Fig. 15. Displacement Contour of Chassis Frame

No less important thing to note in cross-checking the results of design and simulation is safety. The simulation results in this CAD software with static analysis obtained the least security factor of 3.2 as seen in Fig. 16. The research is considered to be enough acceptable design results [16] by doing this SS400 steel input material.

The chassis with local SS400 material is considered acceptable because the difference between theoretical and numerical results is not too large. Further research is carried out by comparing other local uses or variations in the number of cross-member beams and different types of chassis, monocoque, or low-deck chassis. Dynamic loads can also increase this type of loading by incorporating bus speed elements under various road conditions.

This research was conducted to complement the entire EV-Bus type research at the University of Indonesia. Previously, the type of EV-Bus that has been successful as in Fig. 1 is the conversion of ICE-Bus. The type of chassis used is that of a certain bus brand with the R260 type. This type of chassis is what reverse engineering is doing in this study, resulting in a rolling chassis as shown in Fig. 11.

The approach taken in this research is in the form of theoretical analysis and numerical analysis. Theoretical analysis with the chassis structure with a beam structure with two overhangs. Numerical analysis was carried out from the rolling model of the chassis with two main beams and four cross member beams and two hollow beams. The difference or error that occurs from these two approaches is quite small, namely 4.5 % for stress and 1 % for deflection. This small difference in numerical and theoretical results has been accepted in the redesign of the EV-Bus ladder frame. This result is better than what has been done on the Eicher E2 chassis where the difference between theoretical and analysis software is 10 % and the deflection is more than 5.92 % [13].

From the material selection process, the SS400 with the most important mechanical properties is the tensile strength of 480 MPa. The maximum stress result with CAD software is 75.8 MPa as shown in Fig. 14, while the theoretical calculation result is 72.33 MPa as in Table 1. From the comparison of the tensile strength and stress that occurs, it produces a safety factor of 3.2 as in Fig. 16. With this result, the SS400 is a feasible material type as the ladder frame structure material for the EV-Bus.

The limitation of this research is in the form of a theoretical approach with a 2D beam model while the results of numerical analysis using CAD software with a 3D model. So it is necessary for further research in an experiment by a certain scale model to validate the results of both approaches. Later, after these three approaches are successful, namely theoretical, numerical and certain scales leading to valid results, the production process of the EV-Bus ladder frame with this SS400 material.

7. Conclusions

1. Reverse engineering method has been successfully redesigned a chassis for EV-Bus with two main beams and four cross member beams, and two hollow cross beams. This is obtained from the difference between static analysis with software and quite small theoretical studies, namely 4.5 % for stress and 1 % for deflection.

2. Static analysis of the chassis structure uses distributed load with a total of 14200 kg. With using material type SS400 with an elasticity modulus of 190 GPa and tensile strength of 480 MPa. From the static analysis by CAD software, the von Mises stress occurred is 75.8 MPa and maximum deflection is 2.568 mm and the smallest safety factor is 3.2. This result shows the local material SS400 chances the criteria as material for the EV-Bus chassis structure later.

The results in Table 1 will be combined with the results of static analysis with CAD software to assess the suitability of the SS400 material for the EV-Bus chassis material. The most important values in this table are the stress value of 72.33 MPa and the deflection value of 2,594 mm.
