“…The described battery pack can be used for a powerful motor in a shorter period of time. The shaft allows the use of approximately 150% more of the powerful motor, taking into account the load spectrum [6,12,30], which is omitted here. This is based on the S-N curve [24,25,29,33,37],…”

“…This includes studies on the design of the go-kart frame or chassis; at times, researchers were concerned about choosing materials for the structure, simply structure analysis, safety, and structure stability. The common parts of a go-kart are the engine, wheels, steering, tires, axle, and chassis [4][5][6]. The idea presented in this paper is a concept design of chassis and other self-produced parts for the self-built electrically-powered go-kart inspired by references [7][8][9], since the trend in chassis design involves producing lower costs and lighter vehicle structures but with good safety efficiency.…”

This paper presents an approach to a go-kart chassis design, vehicle dynamics calculation, Li-ion battery capacity analysis, and electric motor choice for optimized vehicle performance. The chassis analysis shown in this paper was performed by a CAD/FEA software package, SolidWorks. Three highlights can be found in this paper: 1) an original design was implemented; the basic analysis was composed of chassis optimization using beam elements and modeling such an optimized chassis “locally” with solid elements for sub-modeling purposes. 2) The most stressed tube joint was sub-modeled to calculate the risk of tube wall stability. 3) Vehicle dynamics were calculated for the case of braking in a curved path and the case of a collision with the front tire on road imperfection. The authors intend to install a data acquisition system in the future to analyze the stress of local chassis tubes. The results of the SolidWorks analysis indicate a safety design of the chassis concept. The result for the sub-model stability (buckling) analysis show that the chosen tube wall thickness to diameter gives safety factor values ranging from 1.6 to 5.0. Based on the stress distribution, some improvement in the middle part of the chassis can be made from a half-a-millimeter thicker wall tube, or a larger diameter of the tube, by a few millimeters, to lower the stress. The latter will be described in the following paper.

This paper presents an approach to a go-kart chassis design, vehicle dynamics calculation, Li-ion battery capacity analysis, and electric motor choice for optimized vehicle performance. The chassis analysis shown in this paper was performed using a CAD/FEA software package, SolidWorks Student Edition. Three highlights can be found in this paper: (1) An original design was implemented; the basic analysis was composed of chassis optimization using beam elements and modeling such an optimized chassis “locally” with solid elements for sub-modeling purposes. (2) The most stressed tube joint was sub-modeled to calculate the risk of tube wall stability. (3) Vehicle dynamics were calculated for the case of braking on a curved path and the case of a collision with the front tire due to road imperfection. The authors intend to install a data acquisition system in the future to analyze the stress of local chassis tubes. The results of the SolidWorks analysis indicate a safety design for the chassis concept. The results for the sub-model stability (buckling) analysis show that the chosen tube wall thickness-to-diameter ratio gives safety factor values ranging from 1.6 to 5. Based on the stress distribution, some improvement in the middle part of the chassis can be made by using a half-a-millimeter-thicker wall tube or a larger tube diameter of a few millimeters to lower the stress. The latter will be described in this paper.

With technological developments and carbon emission reaching dangerous levels in the world, it is inevitable that electric vehicles will become the dominant transportation technology of the future. Studies on electric vehicles have become very popular today. In the automotive sector, sectoral dynamics and needs are rapidly changing; restrictions and demands are bound by strict rules and high value-added innovative studies are applied intensively. Supporting this area with academic data will contribute to research and development activities in this field. In this study, analysis and production studies were performed on a 3-wheeled vehicle chassis driven by electric energy. The chassis structure was designed and analyzed with details. The chassis aimed to be produced as a result of the study was analyzed in detail according to brake, modal and cornering analysis. As a result of these analyses, it was found that this chassis has a reliable structure according to the specified driving dynamics parameters. By adopting new requirements, technologies and analysis outputs for the system, a modular platform structure that can be used for various applications were created. The design and production processes of an innovative and applicable chassis structure for the electric vehicle ecosystem are given in detail.
