Abstract: Designing and Analysing an Electric Kart is a vast platform for the students. So many competitions are used to organize for the students on this platform. It's beneficial to the students to enhance their learning and gain practical knowledge of various systems of Kart like steering system, braking system, transmission system, etc. This thesis presents the effect of multiple parameters on the performance of the steering system of the e-kart. It covers the design and analysis of stresses generated on steering components and to obtain the optimum safe design. The conceptual model of the E-Kart steering system is developed and used to illustrate the purpose of this study. The inner wheel and outer wheel angle of the steering system are studied using the steering equation. The simulation results reveal that the stresses generated on the steering system components are below the permissible stresses to assure that all members are safe for their maximum Stress. Also, several iterations are conducted on meshing to determine its stability, followed by the convergence tool. This research is intended to help undergraduates by giving a neat overview of E-kart's design and Simulation to participate in national competitions. This project work aims to point out the findings and studying on the steering system of the Kart.
