Components that can be easily manufactured.
Vehicle dynamics and how the system (car), should behave as a whole.
Run Matlab for simulation scripts and handling large sets of data.
Tire behaviors and tire graphs.
Utilizing Solidworks for CAD, conduct kinematic analysis alongside FEA for fatigue and buckling analysis, while emphasizing communication and project management skills.
The suspension team has one main objective which is to make the car handle and perform as best as possible. Formula SAE tracks consist of almost 80% corners and turns so the performance comes from mechanical grip. Our goal is to get the most out of our tires as possible. Our goal for new team members is to teach them as much as we can so we can make this happen as a team.
