Abstract:

This paper aims to increase the factor of safety of the Go-Kart chassis which is designed keeping in mind the rules imposed by Go – Kart Design Challenge 2015. Theoretical calculations are carried out which have been realized through several analyses. These result, coupled with appropriate research has been used to create a new chassis that possesses improved performance and safety. During front impact analysis, the chassis should meet the required factor of safety. In order to enhance factor of safety the computer aided design model was altered marginally such that it meets the safety requirements. An innovative method of design optimization has been discussed, without significant increase in the overall kerb weight of the chassis.
