Fill in the information about your Kart in the respective sections as mentioned below:

1. Describe the chassis layout of your Kart. Use proper diagrams/Images to explain it. Also attach the picture of your empty chassis if already fabricated. Cost For this Segment. You can also Show Load Analysis and testing results (Optional)

ABSTRACT:

The frame or chassis is designed in such a way that it provides a safe 3d space around the driver, with fulfilling the requirements of competition. The main objective of the chassis is to link all components of the kart including the driver efficiently and safely principle aspect of the chassis focus on during the design and implementation including driver safety, drive train integration structural weight and operator ergonomics.

DESIGNthe main component of the chassis is divided into three components, first for steering, brake pedals etc. Second for driver cabin and the third one or the rear one is for battery and motor compartment, the second and the third component are separated by firewall for the safety of driver.

By implementing bends into the design of the frame, the number of cuts and welds were decreased. Decreasing the number of cuts and welds lowers the production cost and increases overall chassis strength. For example, by using more bends, a bending die can perform the job of bending behalf of the welding and joining hence reducing man-hours and production costs. All bends were designed to be made using a tube bender fitted with primary die of 10 cm, secondary die of 15cm, and tertiary of 30 cm, diameter die, which would eliminate costly tooling changes from the manufacturing process.

BODY PANELS- The body panels are made out of .03 inch thick FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) .FRP is a composite material made of a matrix reinforced with fibers the polymer is usually epoxy,

infester or polyester thermosetting plastic are used in FRP.It is very light material that has desirable properties for a body panel. The panels are designed such that they tends to reduce the aerodynamic moments like pitching from front, yawing from side and also helps to create the downward force to which tends to make the good traction of vehicle with the road & also provide the properties necessary to protect the driver and vehicle components from rocks and other debris. When the panels were integrated into the car, the panels were recessed into the chassis to provide visibility to the chassis members, making the car aesthetically pleasing.

FEA Analysis:All simulation of the space frame was done in the Ansys14 by considering a static structural analysis of meshing type ‘beam mesh’ and stimulated load were applied on the critical points of the roll cage. Before attempting to calculate the input loads, it was necessary to determine what kind of obstacles would be encountered during vehicle operation. This was done by reviewing test and competition videos of other SAE EcoKart vehicles on the internet. This allowed the team to get a very broad sense of what terrain the vehicle would be required to overcome.

2. Describe the steering mechanism of your Kart. Explain it along with proper diagrams/Images. Also attach the pictures of your steering system if fabricated. Support your Write up with Calculations and also highlight Cost for this Segment.

ABSTRACT: Steering is the mechanism that allows the driver to controls the vehicle direction. Steering convert the rotator motion of the steering wheel in a linear motion. This is made possible by the linkage that connects the steering wheel to the wheels and tires.

We have designed our steering system to withstand the stress safely maintaining the vehicle in any type of turning conditions.

The main consideration of our steering mechanism is to design a simple mechanism with low steering ratios which achieve 100% Ackermann condition with quick steering response

as per as drive desired & also with minimum driver effort.

So, we decided to use linkage type steering which is truly based on Ackermann condition because it is light in weight. Simple mechanism, low cost and easy to assemble.

INNOVATON DESCRIBED: In eco-kart 2015 we are introduced multi hole sensitive steering plate with the adjustable tie rod system. Sensitive plate increase and decrease the sensitive of steering mechanism

due to multy hole pivot point which allows adjusting the tie rod position according to path condition.

We have introduced a ball bearing type steering cotter to minimize the driver effort or steering effort at the time of turning condition. In this we are using a bearing which is fixed at the upper end lower and of steering cotter. This gives the smooth rotator motion to the cotter also minimize the friction between the cotter and C lock.

attach the pictures of your suspension system. Explain used explain the necessity of use. Cost For this Segment.As it is not necessary to use the suspension in the Ecokart competition, so we have decided not to use the suspension system this year. As the track and the terrain is not so rough and the arena is quite smooth for the action so we have dropped the suspension system for our kart.

If the suspension system would be used the geometry and the alignment of parts would be so different, such that the kart’s full design and geometry will be different.

Generally in these kinds of events we use the two kinds of suspension which are very effective and useful, and not so complicated in geometry. The Pushrod kind of suspension and the double wishbone independent suspension are used in the formula vehicles are the main consideration of these two kinds of suspension.

As we have planned our kart’s weight & cost up to minimum so we have removed extra unnecessary assemblies in the kart so team has finally decided not to use suspension system in the kart.

4. Describe the brake mechanism of your car. Explain it along with proper diagrams/Images. Also attach the pictures of your brake mechanism if you have already fabricated. Support your write up with Calculations. Cost For this Segment.ABSTRACT: The purpose of the brakes is to stop the car safely and effectively. In order to achieve maximum performance from the braking system, the brakes have been designed to lock up the rear wheels, while minimizing the cost and weight.

The brake system design includes the single disc at the rear axle to stop the vehicle. It is mounted in one of the third part position of the axle with opposing the position of drive train sprocket hence also enables the good balancing requirement.

Master cylinder is used at the front near the brake pedal providing the occupant to easily accessible space. A proper master cylinder bore size was found by doing brake calculations based on the mass, centre o gravity, master cylinder volume sixe and various dimensions of the vehicle. Though braking power increased with a decrease in bore size, the volume of brake fluid that was able to be displaced decreased with decreasing bore size.

ABSTRACT:

During our designing phase we have faced problems in fabrication all the parts as per or requirement due to unavailable facilities. The other one is cost. If we fabricate all the parts as per our requirement we will exceed our target cost which we have to minimize up to maximum. So we brought some parts from market.

After the market analysis we found such parts are suitable for our requirements the list of the parts which we have purchased from the market are as follows:

Roll cage material = AISI 1020 DOM

Body penal: Reinforced fiber

Chain sprocket set = hero Passion Pro

Speed controller = 40A – 48V 1000W

Calliper = TVS Apache RTR 180 Front caliper

Master Cylinder = Maruti 800 form foot brake & TVS Apache RTR 180 Rear Master Cylinder for Hand Brake.

Brake Lines = Maruti 800.

Fire Extinguisher = 1 kg Dry Nitrogen Powder, ISI Marked.

MOTOR: In AC/ BLDC/PMDC motor we are using PMDC motor with 3600 RPM 48 V, 11Amp. And 42 Amh and 2400 Watt having 12.8 N-m torque at 2400 RPM. Because it is fulfilling our

requirements it also provides maximum torque at the beginning comparison to other motors.

Battery:

We are using two 12V and 46 Amh dry battries. It is better than the lead acidic battery because its weight in less than the wet batteries and it has the less cost, as well as it requires the less maintenance.

WIRE:We are using ISI marked copper wire having ODI of 0.75cm. for less resistance the more thick wire is used as we know that.

R=ρ lA

.

As the current use is too high so we have selected the thick wires to use.

LIGHTS: We are using round yellow headlights of power 35 Watt and we are using Red LED Tail lights and Indicators of 10Watt that Clearly Visible when Brake will be applied.

TIRES & RIMS:We are using SLACK Radial Tires Having Dimensions of At Front: 10×4.5×5.At Rear: 11×7.10×5.These tires give a high coefficient of friction for a smooth Driving and it is easily available in the market.

DASHBORAD:we are using Reinforce Fiber Material for dashboard because this material was very cheap and light weight and also a good strength and this easily available.

SAFETY POINTS:Driver safety is our First priority for our. We are using five point harness seat belt and all SFI rated accessories of driver. In our Kart two kill switches are assembled near the driver and a fire extinguisher was installed at left side of the driver.

TRANSMISSION:

OBJECTIVE The drive-train is a very important part of the racing cars, taking into consideration that all of the car’s power is transferred through the drive-train system to the ground. The challenge is to harness the Motor 4 horsepower and distribute it to the ground in the most efficient way. The drive-train needs to be able to operate in the lowest and highest gear ratios while performing in all of the different aspects of the competition.

DESIGN The goal of the drive train is to transfer power from the Motor installed in the vehicle to the wheels. The power transferred must be able to move the vehicle. Acceleration is also an important characteristic controlled by the drive train. There are several different methods of power transmission that have been used in cars. The transmission used in our vehicle is a Non-Geared Simple Chain Drive. The Transmission contains a single Chain & Sprocket to connect to motor with the drive shaft directly through the help of chain to provide a fix transmission ratio. Setup has an advantage in that it does not need any driver interaction, and that it is mechanically simple. And also works on infinite no. of gear ratios according to the speed of Motor.BASIC CALCULATIONS:On the observed calculation & Market Analysis we have selected the chain of Hero Passion Pro chain Drive set.

6. Describe the Material used and Body Work segment.. Also attach the pictures of the Body work if you have already fabricated. Cost For this Segment.

ABSTRACT: The most important part of any roll cage is material selection. A good material is important because the roll cage needs to absorb as much energy as possible to prevent the chassis from fracturing at the time of impact.

We have selected our roll cage according to the constrained given in the rule book. We have selected medium carbon steel (AISI 1020) formally known as DOM for the fabrication of our roll cage. We are using a tube of 1in. outer diameter with a 2mm wall thickness.

There are several advantages of using DOM, one such provides seamless tubing, the other one is it provides good weight to strength ratio. It has higher ultimate strength in comparison to AISI 1018; it is easily available as well as easy to weld.
