![]() Karting is considered as the first step in any serious racer's career. Many people associate it with young drivels, but adults are also very active in karting. Kart racing is usually used as a low-cost and relatively safe way to introduce drivers to motor racing. As a free-time activity, it can be performed by almost anybody and permitting licensed racing for anyone from the age of 8 onwards. Kart racing is generally accepted as the most economic form of motor sport available. 'Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher and more expensive ranks of motor sports. They are usually raced on scaled down tracks, but are sometimes driven as entertainment or as a hobby by non-professionals. Go-kart, by definition, has no suspension and no differential. ![]() The wheel and suspension geometry have been designed taking into account the track layout and prevailing conditions.Ī Go-kart is a small four wheeled vehicle. ![]() The vehicle has been designed in such a way that the reliability is not compromised in the pursuit of speed. The principle of triangulation has been extensively used to make sure that the chassis is extremely rigid and provides a safe cocoon for the driver in case of an accident. The kart has been designed using sound design principles. The main objective of the design is to make a car that is durable as well as reliable and will last through the endurance using parts that are cost effective and easily available in India. These ideas have been then converted into viable concepts ready for fabrication. The design includes applications of extensive engineering analysis, teamwork, project management, and development of conceptual ideas. We designed and fabricated a go kart for participation at the national go kart championship. Hence, the chassis is fabricated by bending, cutting and welding the cylindrical beams into the required dimensions and specifications taken into consideration according to the norms given by the Society of Automobile Engineering (SAE-India) for Eco-kart 18.Ī go kart is a small four wheeled vehicle basically used of traditional kart racing and amusement purpose. By taking all the above considerations, the suitable material is Carbon-steel ASTM A106 grade-B, the carbon-steel has – high tensile strength, high machinability and offers good balance of toughness and ductility. Hence strength and light weight are the basis considerations for a good go-kart chassis material. The go-kart chassis is different from general car chassis as it uses less material for chassis construction and it should be able to withstand loads applied on it. The analysis is done on static and dynamic loading, deformation and impact on the frame. Modeling operation is performed in SOLIDWORKS and analysis procedure is performed in ANSYS. The project is intended to percolate the dynamic analysis of go-kart chassis which is of cobbled with circular beams. The go-kart is a small four wheeled vehicles without any suspensions and differential which is light in weight and is used for racing. The project is about designing, analysis and fabrication of chassis according to the specifications prescribed in Eco-kart 18 rule book. The design procedure follows all the rules laid down by NKRC Rule Book for Go Kart Type Cars. All these Analysis have been carried out in Hyper Works 11.0. We have carried out Crash Analysis (Front and Side Impact), Torsional Analysis. In this paper an attempt is made to find out these areas by carrying out FEA of the Roll Cage. Hence it is important to find out these areas of maximum Stresses. Deformation results in Stress Generation in the Roll Cage. ![]() These forces are responsible for causing crack initiation and deformation in the vehicle. There are a lot of forces acting on vehicle in the running condition. Roll Cage comes under the sprung mass of the Vehicle. We have made the 3D model of Go Kart and Roll Cage in Catia-V5. It form the structure or the main frame of the vehicle on which other parts like Engine, Steering, and Transmission are mounted. In a Go Kart Student Car the roll cage is one of the main components. This paper deals with the Design and Analysis of Roll Cage for the Go Kart. The Go-kart, by definition, has no suspension and no differential. The National Go Kart Racing is the one of the way which provide the platform for doing innovations and showing creativity for students. This is possible by creativity and innovation of young automobile enthusiasts. One of the big step towards the technological improvement is in automotive sector. Now days as we are moving towards the development, we have to improve our technology. ![]()
