The objective of this project is to design a tubular chassis of a speed car, based on a
earlier design of this type of car. When it is designed, the aim is to design it with a finite
element program, in this case, is going to be used the software Abaqus, for after
establish a method of calculation in a manner in which can be measured all the
parameters, like deformations and stresses, suffered by the chassis submited to the
efforts supported by the chassis in different situations, these are, the maximun
acceleration, maximun decceleration, maximun cornering situation and crash situation.
At the same time, the aim of the project, is to get a chassis as light, strong and
economical as possible, taking in account that the time avaiable for the design of it, is
limited.
To perform this project, is essential to know the criteria used by tubular chassis
designers in different competitions, like Formula Student, and also, the requirements
demanded by the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation for compete in the Spanish
mountain championship.
At the time of design the chassis, it is necesary to make firstly a rough design of the
chassis, keeping in mind the methods of manufacture of a tubular structure to provide
the worker of a easiest work as possible, when its construction, using also less tubes as
possible to get the lightest chassis, and therefore, the cheapest one.
Nowadays, in the world of automobile competition, the teams spend big amounts of
money to get the lightest and more strength car, not taking in account the money, but in
this project, the solution would be get the lightest, most strength and cheapest chassis as
possible, in a combination of all of them. [--]
