Abstract
Formula Student Racing competitions are held at various Formula SAE circuits globally. Chassis serves as the important component in the race car design. Thus a solicitous analysis is expected out of the formula car. It is also noted that the weight of the car is inversely proportional to the performance of the car hence need of optimization. A high speed protection system plays a major role in the race car design such as front impact, rear impact, side impact and roll over analysis. Also, there exists a problem of the torsional rigidity as far the dynamics is considered. This paper aims at the design aspects and the analysis insights of the race car. The car is modeled according to the 95th percentile male that can fit inside the cockpit of the chassis. As the car travel at the high speed, the protection has been designed to the car in such a way that stresses are minimum and the performance is maximum. Finite element methods are used for the analysis and the design of experiments is created for the optimization of the chassis. Instead of using the regular taguchi method of optimization, and poisons and orthogonal continuity model is used for the optimization for the reason that the taguchi considered the samplings as the discrete model. But orthogonal and the poisons model will be modeled to consider the sampling as the continues points. The validations of the FEM result are given using the H-type space step convergence methods. The engine acts as the excitation box in case of the chassis. This can be checked using the industrial best practices such as Campbell diagram.
