Design and Analysis of GO Kart Chassis using FEA

A Go-Kart is a small four-wheeled vehicle without suspension or differential. There are many motorsports in the world. Bikes, Cars, Formula one are examples of them. But there are also motorsports which do not need professional drivers and need no great speed. The vehicles used are also very cheap. Such a motorsport is Go-Karting. Go-kart is a simple four-wheeled, small engine, single seated racing car used mainly in the United States. This paper aims to do modeling the static analysis of go-kart chassis consisting of circular beams. Modeling and analysis are performed using 3-D modeling software i.e. CATIA & static analysis in ANSYS 18. The loads are applied to determine the deflection of chassis. There are a lot of forces acting on the vehicle in the running condition. These forces are responsible for causing crack initiation and deformation in the vehicle. Hence it is important to find out these areas of maximum Stresses. The go-kart chassis is different from ordinary car chassis.
