Abstract
This paper provides in-detail description of the design considerations, static & dynamic analysis and mathematical data involved in the design of a ATV Vehicle. The focus has been laid on the simplicity of design, high performance, easy maintenance and safety at very reasonable prices.The design and development comprises of material selection, chassis and frame design, cross section determination, determining strength requirements of roll cage, stress analysis and simulationsto test the ATV against failure .During the entire design process, consumer interest through innovative, inexpensive, and effective methods was always the primary goal. Most of the components have been chosen keeping in mind the easy availability and reliability. According to recognition of customer’s need we are going to design a vehicle which is ergonomic, aerodynamic, highly engineered and easily manufactured. Hence it makes the vehicle more efficient. Our vehicle can navigate through almost all terrain, which ultimately is the objective behind the making of any all-terrain vehicles. We began the task of designing by conducting extensive research of each main component of the vehicle.
