Thickness optimization of a vehicle front subframe
Subframes in passenger vehicles are structural components designed to support various vehicle systems and components while enhancing overall chassis rigidity and stability. Subframes serve as the mounting platform for the engine, transmission, and suspension systems and help mitigate vibrations, reduce noise, and improve handling characteristics. Their design often involves finite element analysis (FEA) to optimize load distribution and structural integrity, ensuring both safety and performance across diverse driving conditions.
