N2  - This paper aims to model, simulate and perform the stress analysis of an actual low loader structure consisting of I-beams design application of 35 tonne trailer designed in-house by Sumai Engineering Sdn. Bhd, (SESB). The material of structure is Low Alloy Steel A 710 C (Class 3) with 552 MPa of yield strength and 620 MPa of tensile strength. The scope of this study concern on structural design of the I-beams for info and data gathering, which will be used for further design improvement. Finite element modeling (FEM), simulations and analysis are performed using a modeling software i.e. CATIA V5R18.Firstly, a 3-D model of low loader based on design from SESB is created by using CATIA. Stress and displacement contour are later constructed and the maximum deflection and stress are determined by performing stress analysis. Computed results are then compared to analytical calculation, where it is found that the location of maximum deflection agrees well with theoretical approximation but varies on the magnitude aspect. Safety factor for the low loader structure has also been calculated. In the end, the current study is important for further improvement of the current low loader chassis design. © 2012 The Authors.
