Evaluation of Front Impact Response on the Front Tubular Frame of a Maung 4x4 Tactical Vehicle: A Design Improvement Perspective

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The vehicle chassis functions as a structural frame that supports loads such as engines, passengers, and cargo while maintaining the rigidity of the vehicle. Combat vehicles and cruise vehicles usually add additional frames to the front and rear areas of the vehicle as additional protection for the vehicle. This study analyzes the strength of the additional frame design installed in the front area of the Maung 4X4 tactical vehicle. The material used is STKM 13-B pipe. Two design models were tested using the Finite Element Method (FEM) approach through Solidworks simulation. The results show that the second design (modified) has a higher safety factor than the initial design.
