Abstract: The National Kart Racing Championship is aimed to bring out the Innovations and creative potential of young automobile enthusiasts. The basic outline of the event consists of designing and fabricating a go-kart. We had made a go-kart having creativity with few restrictions mentioned in the rule book. The real essence of creating the go-kart lies in the sheer engineering practical applications and tests it in real time. The chosen project is based on the design and analysis of the chassis of a low ground clearance Go-kart. The project aimed to create a chassis that possesses good performance and features. This is done by carrying static analysis from theoretical knowledge and analytical methods using hyper mesh.
Design and fabrication of the Go-kart focuses on developing a simple and easily operated vehicle. Aspects of ergonomics, safety, ease of manufacture, and reliability are incorporated into the design specifications. 3 D models have been made for analysis purpose in SOLIDWORKS and analysis has been made in hyper mesh. 3D assembly models of the go-kart are designed for understanding purpose.
This paper aims to model, simulate and perform the static analysis of a go kart chassis consisting of Circular beams. Modeling, simulations and analysis are performed using modeling software i.e. Solid Works according to the rulebook provided by National kart Racing Championship (NKRC-15).The maximum deflection is determined by performing static analysis.
