Abstract |
|
The objective of this paper is to analyse and optimise the roll cage design of an All-Terrain Vehicle in compliance with Baja SAE 2018 rulebook. Roll cage is the skeleton of the vehicle that not only forms a structural frame but also provides three dimensional spacing around the driver, becoming the most critical part of the vehicle. This multi-tubular space frame needs to be lightweight, structurally sound and ergonomically designed to withstand jarring elements of a rough terrain. The CAD model of the roll cage was designed in Autodesk Fusion 360 and various crash simulations (front impact, side impact, rear impact, roll-over and head-on collision) were carried out in Autodesk Nastran (static structural). |
