IRJET, 2021

An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is specified as a motorized off-highway vehicle designed to move on four low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires, which is a land-based automobile capable of travel to remote areas where normal vehicles cannot reach. The prime focus of an ATV is to provide comfort and safety on challenging terrains and having a seat designed to be straddled by the driver and handlebars for steering control. Load coming from the road bumps, cornering, etc. are supported by the roll cage. It also protects the driver from collision and overturning incidents. The design of an ATV should be compact and capable enough to handle high speeds and sharp turns. One of the most challenging tasks while designing an ATV is to design a stable chassis that enhances the performance and safety by considering multi-dimensional factors. Therefore, considering the present industry requirements, this paper deals with the selection of material and cross-section for the chassis and analyzing the frame design for different loading conditions. Further, it proceeds to predict whether it will survive various impact scenarios that may occur during events using ANSYS workbench. This ensures that the load bearing framework is able to withstand the challenges of uneven terrains and provide the ATV is a stable support to ensure better handling and safety. The main objective is to analyses the roll cage design is to maximize the factor of safety and at the same time considering other aspects like light body weight, compact and stable design to get better performance of the vehicle.

We have tried to design an all terrain vehicle that meets international standards and is also cost effective at the same time. We have focused on every point of roll cage to improve the performance of vehicle without failure of roll cage. We began the task of designing by conducting extensive research of ATV roll cage through finite element analysis. A roll cage is a skeleton of an ATV. The roll cage not only forms the structural base but also a 3-D shell surrounding the occupant which protects the occupant in case of impact and roll over incidents. The roll cage also adds to the aesthetics of a vehicle. The design and development comprises of material selection, chassis and frame design, cross section determination, determining strength requirements of roll cage, stress analysis and simulations to test the ATV against failure.

We have tried to design an all terrain vehicle that meets SAE INDIA standards and is also cost effective at the same time. In the present investigation, the performance of ATV roll cage is studied against crashes that can be encounter in the real life scenario and its consequences on the individual components. The roll cage structure which must be designed to ensure the safety of the driver while not compromising the ergonomics. The roll cage not only forms the structural base but also a 3-D shell surrounding the occupant which protects the occupant in case of impact and roll over incidents. The roll cage also adds to the aesthetics of a vehicle. The design and development comprises of material selection, chassis and frame design, cross section determination, determining strength requirements of roll cage, stress analysis and simulations to test the ATV against failure using 1 Dimensional Analysis Index Terms-Roll cage, Factor of Safety, Material, FEA

This research paper is about Design and analysis of Roll Cage of an ATV (acronym for ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE). It is one of the main systems of the ATV on which the other subsystems like Engine, Steering, and Transmission systems, seat, suspension systems etc are mounted. It comes under the spring mass system of the vehicle. The forces acting on the vehicle from different directions are accountable for the breakdown and deformation in the vehicle. Therefore, the stresses are generated viz maximum combined stresses, minimum combined stresses, direct stresses etc in this paper we have made an attempt to figure out these areas by doing crash tests of the roll cage designed on CATIA V5. We have carried out crash analysis (front, rear, side impact, rollover, Bump) and torsional analysis. All these analyses have been carried out in ANSYS R21.0 academic version. The design procedure follows all the rules laid down by SAE rule book for Baja ATV 2021.

All terrain vehicle is famously used for various purposes. The design of the chassis frame for the use of allterrain vehicles (ATV) is presented. In designing the chassis frame, a correct design method was employed. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was utilized to determine the maximum stress and displacement of the frame when a particular load is applied to it. The chassis is the component in charge of supporting all other vehicle subsystems with the plus of taking care of the driver's safety. It must be strong and durable taking always into account the weight distribution for better performance. The fabrication of the frame is done by us and the fabricated frame will be used as the main part of a project in which a complete ATV will be developed.

The Roll cage is the most essential part of an ATV. It is like a 3-dimensional protection provided to the driver which is very crucial in determining the shape of the overall vehicle. It is the roll cage which bears the weight of all the systems like power terrain, suspension, steering and braking. The roll cage designed here is in accordance with SAE BAJA 2018 rulebook. Now SAE stands for society of automotive engineers and BAJA is their official competition where Engineering undergraduates try to design and build an ATV which is also market ready.

This report deals with the Design and analysis of Roll Cage for the ATV Car. In a ATV Car the roll cage is one of the main components. It is the main subsystem of ATV on which the other subsystems like Engine, Steering, and Transmission are mounted. Roll Cage comes under the sprung mass of the vehicle. The forces acting on vehicle from various directions are responsible for crack initiation and deformation in the vehicle. Therefore stresses are generated. In this paper an attempt is made to find out these areas by carrying out FEA of the roll cage. We have carried out crash analysis (front, rear, side impact, rollover) and torsional analysis. All these analysis have been carried out in ANSYS APDL 19.2. The design procedure follows all the rules laid down by SAE rule book for m-baja cars.

An all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as a quad, quad bike, three-wheeler, or four-wheeler, is defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a vehicle that travels on low-pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control [1]. Roll cage is the skeleton that encapsulates the driver and serves as a protection. It becomes mandatory for manufacturers to ensure customers' safety, which in turn is dependent on a robust and sturdy construction of the roll cage. Physical prototyping done to ensure this was costly and hence cleared way for virtual prototyping which involves computer aided design and analysis. This does not involve manufacturing prototypes and hence reduced the cost. Constraints and loading conditions are applied at locations as per the standards and the analysis results are used for determining the real life performance of the roll cage. Though there are several constraints in designing, some of the dimensions are left to the mercy of the designer. In this paper, two of such dimensions are taken and analyzed to arrive at the optimum dimension and checked for final feasibility.

Most of the components have been chosen keeping in mind the easy availability and reliability. According to recognition of customer's need we are going to design a vehicle which is ergonomic, aerodynamic, highly engineered and easily manufactured. Hence it makes the vehicle more efficient.
