        abstract = {This study investigates the impact of diagonal stiffeners and vertical rods on the natural frequency, shear strength, and flexural strength of castellated beams used in chassis applications. The research involves both theoretical and experimental approaches, including finite element analysis (FEA) to determine the dynamic behavior of the beams. The results show a significant increase in the natural frequency and a reduction in deflections, indicating improved resistance to dynamic loads. The inclusion of stiffeners and rods results in enhanced shear and flexural strength, making the beams more effective in heavy-load applications.},
