Problem Statement Objective Development and vibration analysis of go-kart system.
thickness welding rod to form the space frame chassis. The fasteners used in connecting other parts such as bearing and absorber are M10 mild steel bolts and nuts with washers.
Before the process of developing the chassis been started, a three dimensional modeling of the chassis is drawn using Solidworks software in order to perform finite
element analysis on the designed chassis structure. Materials used in constructing the whole chassis structure is also been identified and assigned in the software to increase the
accuracy of the result. Static analysis is done on the modeling of the chassis using the simulation functions in Solidworks software to determine the distribution of static stress
on the structure and the displacement of the structure after the load force is added into the simulation. The safety factor for the chassis can also be calculated after the analysis.
After the fabrication of the chassis is completed, the vibration test will be done physically using 5 degrees of freedom Inertia Measurement Unit IMU sensor and aided
with programming codes. The accelerometers in the IMU sensor are the main components that been used to detect the vibration along the three axes which are x-axis, y-axis and z-
axis. The aided programming code is uploaded to an Arduino Uno board in order to extract the data obtained from the accelerometer of the IMU sensor. The data obtained from the
vibration test is analyzed and graph is plotted in MATLAB software in order to illustrated the vibration of the chassis structure at different point on the chassis.
