Abstract
All-terrain vehicles (ATV’s) are nowadays one of the most popular vehicles with its extraordinary capability of travelling through all terrains. ATV was first made in USA and is defined by (ANSI) as the vehicle that travels with low-pressure tires. Only a single person can sit in these vehicles and also used for racing events and many applications. With the increase in use there are major accidents and deaths recorded due to failure of roll cage therefore careful and optimum designing of Roll cage is very important. The safety can be determined by performing various types of analysis on roll-cage which is most dominating part of ATV since it is responsible to take all the force acting on it. In this paper we have performed the static analysis on Roll cage with help of ANSYS-16 by applying the forces on it, we have performed front impact, rear impact, side impact, torsion and bump analysis from these analysis we have calculated the magnitude of stress developed and deformation .
