Abstract: Now days as we are moving towards the development, we have to improve our technology. One of the big step towards the technological improvement is in automotive sector. This is possible by creativity and innovation of young automobile enthusiasts.
The National Go Kart Racing is the one of the way which provide the platform for doing innovations and showing creativity for students. The Go-kart, by definition, has no suspension and no differential. They are usually raced on scaled down tracks, but are sometimes driven as entertainment or as a hobby by non-professionals. [1]
This paper deals with the Design and Analysis of Roll Cage for the Go Kart. In a Go Kart Student Car the roll cage is one of the main components. It form the structure or the main frame of the vehicle on which other parts like Engine, Steering, and Transmission are mounted. We have made the 3D model of Go Kart and Roll Cage in Catia-V5.
Roll Cage comes under the sprung mass of the Vehicle. There are a lot of forces acting on vehicle in the running condition. These forces are responsible for causing crack initiation and deformation in the vehicle. Deformation results in Stress Generation in the Roll Cage. Hence it is important to find out these areas of maximum Stresses. In this paper an attempt is made to find out these areas by carrying out FEA of the Roll Cage. We have carried out Crash Analysis (Front and Side Impact), Torsional Analysis.. All these Analysis have been carried out in Hyper Works 11.0. The design procedure follows all the rules laid down by NKRC Rule Book for Go Kart Type Cars. [2]
