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
