Abstract:

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.  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. This  paper  deals  with  design  of  roll  cage  for  an  ATV  and  Various  loading  tests  like  Front Impact,  Side  Impact  and  rear  impact  have  been  conducted.  The modeling and stress analysis is done by ANSYS software.  We  have  focused  on  every  point  of  roll  cage  to  improve  the  performance  of  vehicle  without  failure  of roll cage.
