Design, Analysis and Fabrication of a Suspension System for a Formula Type Race Car
ABSTRACT: In a race car
various vehicle dynamics process parameters control the handling of the car
which in turn affects the performance of the car. In regard to this a good
suspension system controls the various vehicle dynamics parameters that affect
the effective handling of the car. The main objective of this project is to
design, Analyze and fabricate an economical yet effective suspension system for
a formula type autocross race car. Care has been taken to keep the weight of
the suspension system minimal and other parameters related to vehicle dynamics
for the design and fabrication to meet the practical yet important outlines
that defines the effective functioning of the system as defined by SAE. Design,
simulation and analysis have been carried out in MSC ADAMS CAR, CATIA and ANSYS
software’s respectively. After fabrication, assembly and installation of the
various components the car was tested on road conditions. The performance was
found to be within the safe and desired limits.

Design, Analysis and Fabrication of a Chassis and Impact attenuator for a Formula type Race Car
ABSTRACT: Chassis is an indispensable structure of an
automobile, especially in a racing car. Good designs allow a light, stiff and
extremely safe chassis to be produced at a reasonable manufacturing cost. A design
model of the chassis was prepared using CATIA according to the guidelines
provided by SAE. Many design iterations were run in order to determine the best
combination of vehicle mass, component packaging, ergonomics and weight
distribution while still ensuring driver safety without any compromise. During
the FEA tests, Stress distributions, displacements, frequency nodes were
analyzed and the results were found satisfactory. Based on the analytic
results, the chassis was optimized accordingly and then fabricated. Impact
attenuator plays a vital role in vehicle safety, when mounted on the front
bulkhead of the vehicle. The structure of the impact attenuator was designed
according to the SAE guidelines. The crash simulation of the impact attenuator
was carried out in the FEA tool and the results were found satisfactory. Thus
Impact attenuator was fabricated.

Subsystems of TRR!
Team Rudra Racing comprises of a group of Race
enthusiasts whose main objective was to design, simulate and fabricate an innovative and economical
formula style autocross racing car. The objective was achieved by creating
three different groups.
- · Design, analysis and Fabrication of Chassis and the Impact Attenuator,
- · Design, analysis and Fabrication of Suspension system,
- · Design, analysis and Fabrication of steering, braking, upright and Bodywork.
The car was designed, analyzed & fabricated successfully by
the combined efforts of all the groups and the car was “Ready to race”.
Who we are??
Team Rudra Racing,
the SAE collegiate club of NMIT which is composed of 12 students from the final
year batch of Mechanical Engineering at the Institute, has built a Student
Formula car in just 40 days.
This
Student Formula Car, which cost Rs. 3
lakhs to build has been designed and fabricated in compliance with the FSAE
rules and guidelines, and has also been tested under the standard testing
conditions. It has a unique but simple
camber and toe adjustment mechanism, and suspension pre-load adjustment for all
four wheels. The Ride Height Adjuster has three levels of adjustment, considering
the track conditions, comfort and safety of the driver.
The
car has been designed for a gross weight of 400kg considering the driver, which
provides a high power to weight ratio making it ideal for racing. This was
achieved through the design, analysis and fabrication of a tubular space-frame
chassis. An independent double wish-bone suspension system of unequal length
A-Arms was designed and analyzed through Multi Body Dynamics tools and later
fabricated. Quick release mechanism was adopted for the steering system. The
car was tested on ideal road conditions and the performance was found in
compliance with the SAE Standards.
