Abstract

The structural integrity of rally cars heavily relies on the effectiveness of roll cages in mitigating damage during side impacts and roll-overs, crucial for ensuring driver safety. This study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of various roll cage models, emphasizing the positioning of individual members to optimize safety measures. Six distinct models are scrutinized to assess maximum deformation and von Mises stress, pivotal factors in determining the structural robustness of roll cages. Utilizing Fusion 360 software, the roll cage models are meticulously constructed, followed by rigorous analysis employing the static structural module in ANSYS. This analytical approach aims to provide insights into the performance and resilience of different roll cage configurations under varying impact scenarios. The investigation delves into critical aspects such as load-bearing capacities during side impacts and roll-overs, with a keen focus on minimizing cabin deformation to enhance driver safety. By employing advanced computational methods and simulation tools, this study contributes to the advancement of structural safety measures within rally car design and engineering..
