Design, analysis and optimization of all terrain vehicle chassis ensuring structural rigidity

The purpose of this project is to study, analyze the previous year BAJA roll-cage chassis vehicles to fix
fault and design a new chassis with better performance by optimizing the weight and ergonomics. The design panel has identified certain area to optimize the vehicle to bring down the overall volume like, engine compartments, driver cabin, legroom, suspension hard points, and steering area. Different exper- imental designs using the Baja SAE regulations for 2020 and Mega ATV championship 2020 irective as a standard for design selection. Primary FEA investigation was carried out on prior designs and the results are taken into account for improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. The conveyance is designed
with given guidelines and rulebook versions of SAE BAJA 2020 and MAC 2020 in all aspects. As SAE BAJA rule book is considered to be in macrocosmic standard after the ompletion of the CAD model, the roll cage and other subsystems of the conveyance has been tested in FEA methods to bring out the best design output and to minimize the chance of failure of the components. Robust engineering tech- niques with sound knowledge on ergonomics and vehicle dynamics have allowed our team to produce an efficient vehicle for the competitions in future.
