Abstract

This project highlights the development and vibration analysis of a go-kart chassis. A chassis is developed and proved to have a strong structure and minimized vibration which fulfilled the requirements from Formula UniMAP 2013 and Shell Eco-Marathon competitions. First, this project is concentrating on determining the static stress and strain concentrated on the chassis structure as well as determining the resultant displacement of the chassis frame with applied load exerted on the chassis. This is vital because the chassis acts as the main frame of the vehicle that subjected to stress, strain and vibration during the vehicle moved. Second, this project is also focussing on the obtaining the vibration experienced by the chassis body. In this report, the results obtained from the static test conducted on the basic chassis frame structure designed by using Solidworks software are presented as well as the fabricated basic chassis frame structure. The three dimensional modelling chassis frame structure is designed using Solidworks software and the static test is conducted in the simulation environment of the Solidworks software as well. The fabrication of the basic chassis frame structure is fabricated using the selected material which is the 25mm x 25mm square mild steel tube with the thickness of 1.6mm and the method of welding is used in developing the chassis. The developed chassis frame structure is able to withstand the applied load with a satisfactory factor of safety (FOS). Furthermore, the vibration testing of the chassis is done using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The vibration on the chassis is determined from experiment during free gear and first gear. The results obtained through the vibration test are sent to MATLAB software for graph plotting and is analyzed.
