Design, Analysis and Fabrication of a Steering system, Braking system, Upright and Bodywork for a Formula Type Race Car

ABSTRACT: In a race car, handling plays a key role in the performance of the vehicle. A good suspension, steering and braking system controls the effective handling of the car. Effective braking system leads to better stopping of the car and optimum energy dissipation in the process. Rack and Pinion steering system was opted and Analysis was carried out for the rack and pinion system and its relevant parameters and the graphs were plotted. Brake rotor and the caliper were designed, thermal and stress analysis was carried out. Dual circuit master cylinder was implemented to make it fail safe. Upright was designed and analyzed for the loads acting on it, which acts as the load carrying member for steering rod, A-arms, suspension, etc. FRP was selected for the body work of the car owing to its high strength to weight ratio, resistance to deformation and corrosion.
