Download or read book Design and Optimization of a Formula SAE Racecar Chassis and Suspension written by Reid F. Allen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing and constructing a chassis and suspension system for a Formula SAE racecar is a highly complex task involving the interaction of hundreds of parts that all perform an essential function. This thesis examines the critical factors in designing and implementing a Formula SAE chassis from the ground up, with a focus on the performance and optimization of the vehicle as an entire system rather than a collection of individual parts. Analysis includes examining the stiffness, strength, and weight of each part, as well as design verification. The thesis will serve as a summary of the knowledge that I have accumulated over four years of personally designing and overseeing the manufacturing of the MIT Motorsports suspension, provide insight into the design of the MY2009 vehicle, and act as a guide for future chassis designers.
Download or read book Chassis Engineering written by Herb Adams and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-11-19 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most forms of racing, cornering speed is the key to winning. On the street, precise and predictable handling is the key to high performance driving. However, the art and science of engineering a chassis can be difficult to comprehend, let alone apply. Chassis Engineering explains the complex principles of suspension geometry and chassis design in terms the novice can easily understand and apply to any project. Hundreds of photos and illustrations illustrate what it takes to design, build, and tune the ultimate chassis for maximum cornering power on and off the track.
Download or read book Racing Chassis and Suspension Design written by Carroll Smith and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2004-05-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hand-selected by racing engineer legend Carroll Smith, the 28 SAE Technical Papers in this book focus on the chassis and suspension design of pure racing cars, an area that has traditionally been - farmed out - to independent designers or firms since the early 1970s. Smith believed that any discussion of vehicle dynamics must begin with a basic understanding of the pneumatic tire, the focus of the first chapter. The racing tire connects the racing car to the track surface by only the footprints of its four tires. Through the tires, the driver receives most of the sensory information needed to maintain or regain control of the race car at high force levels. The second chapter, focusing on suspension design, is an introduction to this complex and fascinating subject. Topics covered include chassis stiffness and flexibility, suspension tuning on the cornering of a Winston Cup race car, suspension kinematics, and vehicle dynamics of road racing cars. Chapter 3 addresses the design of the racing chassis design and how aerodynamics affect the chassis, and the final chapter on materials brings out the fact that the modern racing car utilizes carbon construction to the maximum extent allowed by regulations. These technical papers, written between 1971 and 2003, offer what Smith believed to be the best and most practical nuggets of racing chassis and suspension design information.

Download or read book The Science of Vehicle Dynamics written by Massimo Guiggiani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook covers handling and performance of both road and race cars. Mathematical models of vehicles are developed always paying attention to state the relevant assumptions and to provide explanations for each step. This innovative approach provides a deep, yet simple, analysis of the dynamics of vehicles. The reader will soon achieve a clear understanding of the subject, which will be of great help both in dealing with the challenges of designing and testing new vehicles and in tackling new research topics. The book deals with several relevant topics in vehicle dynamics that are not discussed elsewhere and this new edition includes thoroughly revised chapters, with new developments, and many worked exercises. Praise for the previous edition: Great book! It has changed drastically our approach on many topics. We are now using part of its theory on a daily basis to constantly improve ride and handling performances. --- Antonino Pizzuto, Head of Chassis Development Group at Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center Astonishingly good! Everything is described in a very compelling and complete way. Some parts use a different approach than other books. --- Andrea Quintarelli, Automotive Engineer
Download or read book Global Distributed Design of a Formula SAE Race Car written by Trenton J. Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future engineers need to be competitive in today's expanding global industries. They must have capabilities beyond standard engineering practice. In an attempt to develop students capable of working in a globally distributed design and manufacturing environment, Oregon State University (OSU) and Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Ravensburg (DHBW) have developed a senior capstone design project in which students design, build, test and race two identical Formula SAE race cars as a fully collaborative effort. The main intention of this project was to develop an innovative educational experience for students entering into today's globalized engineering society. In order to accomplish that goal, the project's team management structure had to be developed to allow the project to be sustainable year-to-year and yet highly functional. Data exchange and communication tools were developed to allow students to accomplish their everyday tasks as a member of a distributed design team. Finally global supply chain issues were addressed through the creation and implementation of a custom part information tool allowing parts to be distributed to the two schools. After three years of developing collaboration tools and procedures, students were able to learn and apply practical skills beyond the classroom in an international engineering setting. Ultimately, students participating in this project would become highly desirable engineering graduates through their experience working as a member of an internationally distributed design and manufacturing team. This paper discusses the steps taken to develop the management, data and communication tools necessary for OSU and DHBW to work collaboratively on a Formula SAE racing vehicle. This paper was also intended as an outline for other schools; it conveys the lessons learned and the requirements necessary for universities to collaborate on student engineering projects.

Download or read book Design Manufacturing and Verification of a Steel Tube Spaceframe Chassis for Formula SAE written by Alexander M. Soo and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Formula SAE chassis provides a number of functions: it protects the driver during high speed operation, links critical components such as the engine, drivetrain, and suspension together through a rigid structure, and distributes forces through the frame to allow for predictable handling and kinematics. This document examines and analyzes the critical factors in designing and building a Formula SAE chassis from 4130 chromoly steel tubing. The paper focuses on several main design issues and criteria, provides a detailed description of the manufacturing and jigging process, and also documents verification testing of the real chassis against the CAD and FEA models. The thesis will serve three functions: first as a summary of lessons I have learned about product development from personally overseeing the fabrication of the MIT Motorsports chassis for 3 years (MY2006 - MY2008), second as a guide for future generations of chassis engineers in frame design and construction, and third as a specific study and verification of the theoretical methods behind the current vehicle design.

Book excerpt: In 2006, a small unavailing university auto racing team began building a racecar that would challenge the best engineering schools in the world. With fewer people and resources than any of the top competitors, the only way they were going to win was to push the limit, go for broke, and hope for more than a little luck. By the time they got to the racetrack, they knew: In the fog of fierce competition, whether you win or lose, you learn the hardest lessons about engineering, teamwork, friendship, and yourself.
