Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to model the go kart chassis in solid works and perform the impact analysis of the motor vehicle chassis in Ansys. The purpose of impact analysis is to study the behaviour of the chassis during impact on the go-kart chassis. The National Go Kart Racing is the one of the ways which provide the platform for doing innovations and showing creativity of students. The motor vehicle chassis is completely different from standard automobile chassis. The basic requirements of the chassis will be less weight and more strength. The material that we opted for this chassis is AISI 4130 which is a medium carbon steel having good tensile strength and better machinability and offers good balance to toughness and ductility. Such that by performing impact analysis at different impact speeds we are going to analyses the chassis behaviour for the given conditions. The chassis frame is backbone of vehicle it should be able to with stand different types of loads that are developed during vehicle at rest and in motion. The given chassis is tested under different impact conditions and the results such as deformations, stresses are determined using ANSYS 19.0 software.
