Static analysis of Go-Kart Chassis frame by Analytical and Solid Works Simulation

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. SolidWorks according to the rulebook provided by Indian Society of New Era Engineers (ISNEE) for National Go Kart Championship (NGKC-13).The maximum deflection is determined by performing static analysis. Computed results are then compared to analytical calculation, where it is found that the location of maximum deflection agrees well with theoretical approximation but varies on magnitude aspect.
