Diseño de un chasis de karting kz bajo la normativa CIK FIA 2023 para el grupo Asu Automotriz de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

This project focuses on the design of a chassis according to CIK FIA (2023) regulations, which in turn allows us to withstand the conditions of use, such as pilot loads and longitudinal and transverse forces that can occur in operating conditions. As a first step we started with bibliographic research of different types and models of chassis, but in turn we will proceed with the molding of the chassis with the help of Solidworks software, respecting at all times the maximum measures of each element determined by the CIK FIA, in this way we will reach a model that is suitable and complies with all the guidelines investigated. Subsequently, with the support of CAE software, different types of studies will be carried out, such as bending deformation and torsional deformation, making use of the finite element method that will indicate the stresses and deformations to which the chassis will be subjected. Finally, the results obtained in the different studies will be evaluated to check if the chassis design has the capacity to withstand the different loads and stresses or if any type of reinforcement is required in any element of the frame.
