Abstract: Tubular Frame chassis is the best selection for designing of chassis as it has the properties like light in weight structure, High strength, and other feasible characteristics which are appropriate for a designing a single seated go kart vehicle and all this features play a key role in construction of a chassis. The chassis is divided in to Main-hoop, Front-hoop and other protection sub frames. In which these sections plays a crucial role during Impact so as to save the driver from the extremity. This research mainly focus on the modal analysis where it deals with the natural frequencies developed in various modes which are responsible for the deformation of the chassis. Here this analysis introduces various strategies of Dynamic Analysis. This analysis is performed by using Ansys Workbench of Version 16.0. Ansys is a software which is purely based up on the finite element method. This study figures out six mode shapes at various frequencies. The characteristics of the mode shapes were explained further during the study. This analysis figures out a graph along with various mode shapes of the chassis.
