1 Ashley Wyatt Xavier Thompson Matt Galles Bobby Costen Chris McHugh Randy Fulcher 2014-2015 ODU FSAE Car

2 2013-2014 vs. 2014-2015 Car 2013-20142014-2015 Performed well but: Cornering Suspension Intake Manifold Oversized Resolutions: Suspension redesign Intake relocated Frame reductions Braking Stability

3 Frame 95 th percentile 10” diameter impact Safety factor above helmet Imaginary line from mid hoop to main hoop

4 Frame

5

6 Vent hood Fabricate Sheet Metal Plastic Ductwork 1 Phase Motor

7 2013-2014 vs. 2014-2015 Suspension 2013-20142014-2015 Pull Rod Poor cornering Limited adjustability Push rod Adjustability Improved Handling

8 2014-2015 Front Suspension Lightweight Uprights Improved Roll Centers Incorporates Caster and KPI Improved Camber Gain

9 Camber Change Calculator

10

11 Camber Vs. Steering Input Calculator Excel Calculator Developed to Output Camber Angle for Varying Caster, KPI, and Steering inputs

12 Redesigned Lightweight Uprights Lengthened to Improve Roll Centers Overall Weight Reduced Constructed from 6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum

13 Coil Over Redesign Proper shocks can correct handling problems Stiffer shocks heat up tires faster 1 to 1 rocker ratio

14 Rear Suspension Change from Pull-Rod to Push-Rod System Suspension articulation will be increased Redesigned A-arms to eliminate bending moments

15 Rear Upright Design Weight Reduction Adjustability Room for Brake Caliber Attachment Adjustable Toe- In /Out

16 Ackermann Steering Geometry

17 Center of gravity Intersection of Ackermann

18 Rack-and-Pinion Steering

19 Wheels Carbon Fiber Wheels Over budget Aluminum

20 Brake Selection Moved to 2+2 Braking System Will utilize same calipers, master brake cylinders Different size Rotors for braking distribution Modifications to rear and front uprights in process Splined Rear Wheel Hub Splined Rotor Mount Brake Caliper Bracket

21 Selection Criteria Based on Car & Driver mass of 310 kg (Last years car + 90kg driver) 3 second stop time from 50 mph (22.352 m/s)

22 Braking Force per Individual Brake 60% in the Front, 40% in the Rear

23 Braking Components 1-3/4” Splined Rotor Mount Wilwood Dynapro Single
