This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium is an update to two best-selling editions published by SAE International in 1995 and 2003. Editor Doug Fehan has assembled a collection of technical papers from the SAE archive that will inspire readers to use race engine development as an important tool in the future of transportation. He focuses on several topics that are important to future race engine design: electrification, materials and processes, and improved technology. Today’s electric hybrid vehicles and kinetic energy recovery systems embody what inventors envisioned in the early 1900s. First employed in trams and trains of that era, the technology was almost forgotten until racers resurrected their version in 2009 F-1 racing. The automotive industry has long admired the aircraft industry’s use of lightweight metals, advanced finishing processes, and composites. The use of these materials and processes has helped reduce overall mass and, in turn, improved speed, performance, and reliability of race engines. Their initial high cost was a limiting factor for integrating them into mass-produced vehicles. With racing leading the way, those limitations were overcome and vehicles today feature some amazing adaptations of those processes and materials. Engine power, efficiency, durability, reliability, and, more recently, emissions have always been of primary importance to the automotive world. The expanding use of electrification, biofuels, CNG, high-pressure fuel delivery systems, combustion air management, turbocharging, supercharging, and low-viscosity lubricants have been the focus of race engine development and are now turning up in dealer showrooms. The papers in this publication were selected for two reasons: they demonstrate the leadership that racing plays in the future of automotive engineering and design as it relates to engines; and they will be interesting to everyone who may be in racing and to those who may want to be in racing.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Formula SAE competition is a collegiate competition in which students are tasked to design, build, and race an open wheeled race car. This task is not a simple one as there is no true correct answer for any decision which is made. Engine selection and tuning is just one small aspect of the car which must be examined for a great deal of time and with thoughtful consideration if the engine is to perform at a competitive level and be reliable. The Formula SAE engine is very simple in many terms, but very difficult in one main aspect: restriction. Depending on the fuel type used, an air inlet restrictor of either 19 or 20 millimeters must be in place through which all air for the engine passes. If it were not for this item, the engines utilized by the students could be off the shelf engines from a number of on- and off-road vehicles and would therefore likely be much more powerful than those currently utilized for competition. As it stands today, the engines used must be modified in order to incorporate and optimize the engine performance around this restriction in a number of ways including fuel delivery. The majority of engines which fit the 610 cubic centimeter displacement requirement in the past were from 4-cylinder motorcycles which were manufactured as 600 cc class on-road sport motorcycles. Today, there are a number of classes of off-road racing previously dominated by 2-stroke 250 cc engines which now allow for 450 cc 4-stroke engines. In order to be competitive from a cost standpoint, these engines have historically been carbureted. More recently though, the price of electronics has fallen to the point where electronic fuel injection can be offered in a cost effective manner and seen by the consumer as a "premium" feature. The consumers have not needed a great deal of research to see that fuel injected engines have more torque, have better response, better tolerance for atmospheric changes, and are more efficient. While these things tend to be taken as fact by the casual rider, this thesis looks to examine the advantages and disadvantages of electronic fuel injection as it applies to a single cylinder Yamaha 450 cc off-road sport quad engine which is intended to be used as the engine for the 2012 University of Cincinnati Formula SAE competition car. For this examination, cost, torque characteristics, manufacturability, and efficiency will all be discussed from a theoretical standpoint, and these points will be discussed as they relate back to the goals of the Formula SAE student competition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The system-level design decisions on a Formula SAE vehicle drive all subsequent subsystem designs. However, there has yet to be a systematic method to select the vehicle footprint, engine, aero package, and tires to optimize the performance of the vehicle in typical Formula SAE applications. Instead, these decisions are often made based on what worked previously on the Cal State LA team or vehicles from other universities.A method to make system level decisions is developed and the results are presented in this work.To determine the effect of the vehicle design decisions on the performance of the vehicle, OpenLAP 2D point-mass lap-time simulations were conducted to examine how the various vehicle parameters influence lap time. The vehicle parameters used were tire grip, engine power, coefficient of drag and lift, vehicle mass, and front weight distribution. The relative sensitivity for these parameters came out to be -0.182%, -0.034%, 0.001%, -0.004%, 0.03%, and 0.005% respectively. The ChassisSim 3D transient lap-time simulations were conducted to also examine various vehicle parameters influence. The vehicle parameters used were mass front weight distribution, coefficient of lift and drag, tire grip, engine power, wheelbase, and square track width. The relative sensitivity for these parameters was 0.144%, 0.048%, -0.026%, 0.021%, -0.447%, -0.039%, -0.164%, and -0.064% respectively.A metric based on these findings was used to select the ideal tires for our vehicle. The metric was influenced by the normalized lateral force and tire mass. From this criteria it was concluded that a smaller tire was optimal, While higher values for both normalized max lateral force (NFY) and normalized max longitudinal force (NFX) would decrease lap times, to optimize the car for a FSAE competition in which 80% of the racetrack are turns, the team should concentrate on tires that can provide higher lateral forces. This was proven through the ChassisSim sensitivity study in which tire grip had the highest percent change. The sensitivities are then used to create a tire selection criteria by quantitatively weighing their various attributes.Using a MATLAB code to extract and reduce the data from the FSAE Tire Testing Consortium, specific tire parameters were obtained from the testing provided from the 4 tires used by FSAE teams internationally. The parameters determined from the testing are the NFY, the NFX, the cornering stiffness, restoring moment, and slip angle. With the values obtained, trends were found between the parameters and used our tire selection criteria to suggests a tire for use by the Cal State LA team.The methods and results developed in this thesis provide, for the first time, a way for Formula SAE teams to systematically make overall vehicle design decisions to achieve their team's objectives. This is evidenced by the optimal wheelbase (2.169 m) and square track width (1.728 m) obtained through the simulations as well as the optimal tire (Hoosier R25B 16x6-10 on a 7-in rim).

Download or read book Race Car Design written by Derek Seward and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the principles of engineering science, physics and mathematics, but assuming only an elementary understanding of these, this textbook masterfully explains the theory and practice of the subject. Bringing together key topics, including the chassis frame, suspension, steering, tyres, brakes, transmission, lubrication and fuel systems, this is the first text to cover all the essential elements of race car design in one student-friendly textbook. It avoids the pitfalls of being either too theoretical and mathematical, or else resorting to approximations without explanation of the underlying theory. Where relevant, emphasis is placed on the important role that computer tools play in the modern design process. This book is intended for motorsport engineering students and is the best possible resource for those involved in Formula Student/FSAE. It is also a valuable guide for practising car designers and constructors, and enthusiasts.

Book excerpt: Abstract : A competitive vehicle in Formula SAE needs to be easy for unskilled drivers to extract the maximum performance from. This requires a predictable and manageable torque curve. This report details the development of an intake manifold for a Formula SAE car from a vehicle-based approach to produce this manageable and predictable torque. The current vehicle was instrumented and driven on a representative track to determine the usage of available torque. Based on these findings an ideal torque curve was chosen that favored increased torque at upper engine speed ranges and decreased torque at lower engine speed ranges. A 1-D engine cycle simulation model was developed and calibrated from intake, cylinder, and exhaust pressures measured on a dynamometer. The combustion model used the Wiebe function to model the burn rate and determine the simulated cylinder pressure. A design of experiments was performed with the calibrated 1-D model to find the optimized intake manifold geometry. Primary runner length and inlet diameter as well plenum volume were investigated and sized to produce as close to the ideal torque curve as possible. Based on this geometry a 3-D CAD model was developed and 3-D printed for use on the engine. The fuel delivery and ignition timing of the engine with the 3-D printed intake manifold were tuned on a dynamometer and the torque curve produced was found to be similar to the predicted torque curve at the upper engine speed range but deviate at the mid-range. An on-track vehicle comparison of the new intake manifold to the old intake manifold was attempted but not completed due to cracking of the new intake manifold under vacuum on the vehicle.
