Go-Kart Chassis Design and Construction

This preliminary report includes an overview of the Final Year Project. The title is
"Go-Kart Chassis Design and Construction". It contains the objectives of the project, an
introduction section that brief about the background, problem statement, and lastly scope
of study. This report also provides some literature review and theory, findings and also
the methodology in finishing the project.
The objective of the project is to design and fabricate a go kart chassis. The chassis
should be lightweight, stronger and improves the existing chassis. The chassis also need
to be made available at lower cost than imported chassis.
Study on chassis involved stress analysis, Finite Element Analysis and Static Mechanics.
Almost every measurement aspect of design will utilize CATIA Engineering Software.
For the chassis fabrication process, workshop machines will be used extensively. The
chassis was fabricated by using the cutting and welding method. This method is proved to
be more cost efficient but still has the characteristic of strong chassis to sustain severe
conditions on tracks.
Findings on this project hopefully would be the base for future development in go-kart
chassis enhancement.
