Abstract- This paper aims to do modelling the static analysis of go-kart chassis consisting of circular beams. Modelling and analysis are performed using 3-D modelling software i.e. CATIA & static analysis in ANSYS 14.5 . The maximum deflection is obtained by analysis. The go-kart chassis are different from the chassis of ordinary cars on the road. The material used and structural formation of chassis. The loads are applied to determine the deflection of chassis.

Keywords: Chassis Modelling, Static Force Analysis.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Go-Kart is a vehicle which is compact, simple, light weight and easy to operate. The go-kart is designed for flat tracks racing so, its ground clearance is very small as compared to other vehicle hence it skips the suspension. The parts of go-kart are engine, steering, axle, tyres and bumpers. The engine used for go-kart is either two stroke or four stroke engine. As it has no suspension the driving is trembling.

Go-karting is a great outlet for those people who are interested in racing because of its simplicity, cost and safer way to race. The track of go-kart racing can be indoor or outdoor. The go-kart racing track is simple than F1 racing track Practicing on go-karting can properly expose the driver to the actual racing environment training them to be professional motor racer in various competitions such as F1, NASCAR

2. CHASSIS

The chassis of go-kart was designed on the parameters to guide complete safety of rider as well as to maintain the feasibility of go-kart for all loads applicable.

The loads that are applicable on the chassis are studied under various considerations like go-karts spring mass load, Cornering forces, impact forces, torsional rigidity and the overall dynamic loads applied during running conditions.

The thereby was designed to rider safe and to combat the loads applied on it without compromising the structural strength.

2.1 Objectives

The objectives of this paper are follows-

1. To select suitable material for chassis. 2. To determine the maximum stress on

chassis. 3. To determine the maximum deflection.

4. DESIGN

The chassis is designed considering the factors like factor of safety - maximum load carrying capacity,

The main component of the frame is divided into two

major parts first the front block (cockpit) for steering and

seat positions etc. and second rear block (engine compartment) for transmission and brake assembly.

Force absorption capacity, required space for accessories and driver and specific dimensions. The design of chassis is performed by using software’s

such as AutoCAD and CATIA. The load distribution in

the chassis should be uniform. The structural design gives

the idea about the chassis. Design gives the optimum size and shape of the chassis.

5. CAD Model of Chassis

The 3-D modelling of chassis is created by CATIA :

6. ANALYSIS The next stage after design is analysis of chassis under various impact forces. The chassis experience loads under condition such as cornering force, torsional rigidity and overall dynamic loads applied during race. By performing

analysis, the stresses induced in the structure can be determined.

6.1 Meshing

Meshing is probably the most important part in any of the computer simulations, because it can show drastic changes in results.

6.2 Front Impact Analysis

Generally in the case of pure elastic collision in frontal impact analysis is done by apply force of 9000 N from front side and the fix support is apply from backside by Appling this boundary condition’s we get frontal impact analysis and total stress deformation in static analysis-

6.3 Rear Impact Analysis

Generally in the case of pure elastic collision in frontal impact analysis is done by apply force of 5000 N from front side and the fix support is apply from backside by Appling this boundary condition’s we get frontal impact analysis and total stress deformation in static analysis -

6.4 Side Impact Analysis

Generally in the case of pure elastic collision in frontal impact analysis is done by apply force of 3000 N from front side and the fix support is apply from backside by Appling this boundary condition’s we get frontal impact analysis and total stress deformation in static analysis -

CONCLUSION-

To get the results we used the CATIA & ANSYS to evaluate, create and modify the best vehicle design to achieve its set goals. The main goal was to simplify the overall design to make it safe design & more light-weight without sacrificing performance and durability. The result is a lighter, faster, and more agile vehicle that improves go-kart design.
