Analysis of All-Terrain Vehicle Chassis

Abstract

This study provides detailed description of the static analysis and mathematical data involved in the design of a BAJA ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) chassis. BAJA is an ATV competition where students get to design and develop their ATV keeping in mind various considerations of design as well as safety and according to the rules provided by SAEINDIA. The chassis design is based on BAJA SAE India 2022 rule book. With the characteristic abilities of an ATV to get through any terrain along with their simple and compact structure a new field of engineering research has been developed because of the increasing number of ATV accidents. As many crashes or accidents takes place during the event or testing and it is necessary to prevent these accidents so series of tests were conducted to analyse the reasons and eradicate them. The analysis is performed using computer aided design (CAD) software which is ANSYS 18.1.
