FEA Analysis of FSAE Chassis

Abstract

This paper is related to the analysis, simulation and designing of the Single Seater Race Car Chassis which is made according to the rules and restriction provided in the FSAE Rulebook 2018. Chassis for any vehicle is most important part as it becomes a structural backbone for support of different systems attached to it and carry out the load of all the different component as well as passenger and goods. The designing task is so complicated for the design of a good chassis and we have to consider the various parameters and factors while designing of this chassis and also loads experienced by the chassis due to various system is also an important aspect. Making a lightweight chassis without any compromise for safety of the driver, and considering various rules and regulation given in the SAE rulebook while designing of the chassis, and also understanding various specific cross section for the chassis fabrication is very important. In this various software like ANSYS and SOLIDWORKS have been used for the process of doing modeling and Analysis of the car frame.
