Fsae upright design pdf

For FSAE car, weight criteria is a main factor in making of race car and as well as competition point of view. The goal of lighter weight upright assembly can be achieved by less complex design and proper material selection. Also the proper stiffness and reliability can be achieved by analysis of design of upright assembly. The The FSAE upright holds the wheel hub and is vital to rigidly transfer the loads from the tires and brakes to the suspension system. This competition year, the upright serves an additional purpose of housing the compound planetary gearbox. I was tasked with completing the redesign and FEA validation on the rear upright, and then machine the for Upright of a FSAE Vehicle. Shobhit Agarwal, Tarun Saatyaki . School of Mechanical Engineering, Galgotias University Gr. Noida, India . Abstract — While designing a formula car the first thing that came into mind is safety as we know a formula car experience. immense mechanical loads which keep varying upright design and intuition, by analysing and altering the designs in an iterative process. Three designs were made: a lighter version of the existing one, a hollow version and an unconventional version that utilises design possibilities with additive manufacturing. To verify the three different titanium designs, an analysis of the existing Push Rod Design Transfers bump force to shocks Supports weight of car in neutral stance Rocker Design Determines ratio of pushrod motion to spring compression. Linkage point for sway bar Sway Bar Design Individual project assigned to Seth Beckley Typical FSAE design style Stiffness adjustability achieved by changing lever arm length Force Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) provided in FSAE Rule Book. Also dimensions for driver cockpit design is also provided in the Rule Book. [5] Studied analysis that are carried on the chassis design using CAE software's. Finite element supportsanalysis method is used to calculated different stresses and forces acting on the chassis. 2. In cornering upright had factor of safety of 1.3 3. In braking upright had factor of safety of 1.1 IX.CONCLUSION The purpose of this paper is not only design and manufacture upright for fsae car but also to provide depth of knowledge and methodology regarding the design and analysis of upright.
