Introduction Charles Pearson • The 2013 Michigan FSAE Competition • Competition Scoring: Static Events o Design Report (150 points) o Cost Report (100 points) o Presentation (75 points) Dynamic Events o Acceleration (Max longitudinal acceleration) o Skid Pad (Max lateral acceleration) o Autocross (Avg lateral and longitudinal accel) o Endurance (Durability and efficiency)
Problem Statement Stephen Christiansen • Design and fabricate a competitive car while keeping in compliance of the FSAE rules. These are some of the key concepts for the competition: • High Strength (Durability) • Low Weight (Improves braking, handling, and acceleration) • Assembly (Low maintenance) • Expense (Low production cost) • Innovation (Engineering design challenge) • Safety
Side Pods Christopher Caulkins • Designed and fabricated side-pods • A reversible female mold • 4 ply of fiberglass using a cross pattern weave for torsional rigidity • Left side pod houses cooling system • Right side pod houses exhaust system • Lower and more centered C.G. improves handling significantly
Nose Cone Kevin Kelly • Designed and fabricated nose cone • Mixed 2-part expanding foam • Carved/sanded away excess foam • Laid 3 plys of fiberglass over mold • 70% weight reduction • Lower mass allows for better acceleration, braking, and handling
Body PanelsAaron Hopkins • Designed and fabricated body panels • Advanced vacuum bagging technique • 4 ply fiberglass was used for body panels • 10 ply fiberglass was used for underbody panels • Female molds allowed a smooth finish on outside • 63% weight reduction • Less weight will help acceleration
Suspension and FrameAndrew Myers • 1" Chromolly Steel tube frame • Double wishbone suspension • Fully adjustable camber, toe, and caster angle • Motion ratios: Front 1:1 Rear 1:1.25 • Custom front uprights and spindles
Brakes and Controls Thomas Guglielmo • Fabricated rear control arms • Added Anti-penetration bars for driver safety • Fabricated front & rear rockers • Attached front push rods • Mounted shocks and springs • Assembled steering linkage • Designed pedal assembly
SolidWorks ModelingKevin Kelly • Dimensions, shapes, and materials put into SolidWorks program • Appropriate loadings placed on parts to be tested • Ran FEA to determine factor of safety • Optimized parts to reduce weight while retaining desired factor of safety
Fuel SystemAndrew Rowe • Fuel map from 2012 car improved • Cured mid range surge • 8% increase in power, expecting additional 13% with new manifold
FundraisingKamod Gautam •Raising Canes Fundraiser (over $180) •Panda Express Fundraiser (over $150) •Upcoming fundraiser at two Skinny dip locations (VB Blvd or Colley Ave)
