Abstract

Rising Carbon emission and associated pollution forcing government of India to make stringent emission norms and policies. Hence, it is need of the hour to switch to alternative fuels such as electricity. About 60% of the petrol consumption in India is attributed to the motorcycles and there hasn’t been significant research in the electric mobility in motorcycles. This work is based on study of an electric motorcycle chassis with integrated battery-pack space that has been obtained as a conceptual geometry using topology optimization. The layout of the chassis for this work has been obtained by applying topology optimization on a design domain representing a space obtained on the basis of presently available dimensional measurements of commuter segment motorcycles in India. The chassis has been subjected to linear static and modal analysis for further enhancing the strength, stiffness and natural frequency using the design study approach on critical region.
