Designing and Analysis of Roll Cage of an ATV

摘要

Automotive chassis is an important part of an automobile. The chassis serves as a frame work for supporting the body and different parts of the auto mobile. Also, it should be rigid enough to withstand the shock, twist, vibration and other stresses. Along with strength, an important consideration in chassis design is to have adequate bending stiffness for better handling characteristics. So, strength and stiffness are two important criteria for the design of the chassis. This report is the work performed towards the static structural analysis of the All-Terrain Vehicle chassis. Structural systems like the chassis can be easily analyzed using the finite element techniques. So a proper finite element model of the chassis is to be developed. The chassis is modeled in Solid Works. FEA is done on the modeled chassis using the Solid Works Simulation
