This study aims at designing and analysis of roll cage for an electric solar vehicle fabricated for Imperial Society for Innovative Engineers ESVC (Electric Solar Vehicle Competition) 2019. The vehicle will be powered by electric motor and charging will be done by solar panels which makes the design eco-friendly. This study focuses on the development of an optimized roll cage structure which will include the compactness of frame design, light weight and driver’s safety considering all the design ergonomics and the driver’s safety measures. Optimization is based on reducing weight, strength considerations and ergonomics consideration. Variation of materials, pipe diameters and 3-D structure is implemented during analysis. Analysis of roll cage is conducted using SolidWorks and loading conditions are taken as per standards. Three-wheel tadpole configuration is used for analysis purpose. Results are presented in form of graphs and SolidWorks analysis outputs.
