        abstract = {This research paper presents the design, analysis, and optimization of a go-kart chassis constructed from low-carbon steel AISI 1018. The chassis was subjected to three types of impact simulations: frontal, rear, and side. The simulations were conducted using finite element analysis (FEA) in ANSYS to evaluate the chassis's structural integrity and performance under various loading conditions.
Key findings from the simulations include: Frontal Impact: The chassis demonstrated adequate performance, with a factor of safety of 3.7 and maximum equivalent stress well below the material's yield strength. Rear Impact: The chassis exhibited a higher factor of safety (5.35) but experienced significantly higher maximum equivalent stress, suggesting potential areas for reinforcement. Side Impact: The chassis performed well, with a factor of safety of 5.68 and minimal deformation.},
