page 1 Information published as supplied by teams on or before March 26, 2012 page 1 Concept of the Competition

he Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate table of contents: and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula Concept of the style, autocross racing cars. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the Competition...... 2 freedom to express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on Schedule...... 4 the overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing, Tbuilding, testing and preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions Awards...... 6 themselves give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creation Sponsors...... 7 and their engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. Registered for this event are 120 teams from colleges and universities. The end result is a great MIS Teams listed experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of by Country...... 8 working in a dedicated team effort. Team Information...... 10 For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has Key Players...... 64 engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended MIS Site Map...... C4 sales market is the nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run and the prototype vehicle should actually cost below $25,000. The challenge to the design team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each design will be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car. Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.

page 2 page 2 Information published as supplied by teams on or before March 26, 2012 Static Events: Design Report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from the automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the design is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members will win the design event. Cost Report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase rather than fabricate themselves.

Presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and The following points are possible: deliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a Static Events 75 Presentation fake manufacturing firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of (Thursday) 150 Design the amateur weekend autocross racing market and that it can be profitably 100 Cost Analysis manufactured and marketed.

Dynamic Events: Dynamic Events 75 Acceleration Acceleration: The race cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities (Friday & Saturday) 50 Skid-Pad from a standing start over a distance of 75 meters. 150 Autocross 100 Fuel Economy Autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and 300 Endurance handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking TOTAL POINTS 1000 and cornering into one event. The results of the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance. Skidpad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of the number 8, the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g). Endurance: Over a distance of 22 km the cars have to prove their durability under long- term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel economy, reliability – the cars have to prove it all.

Using an evolutionary design approach, we have been able to improve on previous designs as well as forge our own paths in design. Designs incorporate decades of racing experience, utilizing race proven designs from formula cars past and present. This year, there have been major improvements involving both the suspension and the engine. This is due to a greater knowledge in the area and new resources we Engine development relied heavily on Ricardo WAVE, the same software Ford used haven’t had before.

Using lessons and data from our previous car, the suspension has been optimized to make this car a handling dream. Video footage and driver feedback was used to optimize suspension kinematics. Strain gauges used on last year’s suspension gave insight to dynamic loads. FEA was used to reduce unsprung weight and to make components, such as the suspension rockers, true works of art. Weight was obsessively shaved from the vehicle bringing Dainty Dan to fighting weight. Weight was shaved from non-structural members to reduce mass without sacrificing strength, durability, or reliability. Our battery choice alone reduced weight by a stunning 10 lbs over a conventional lead-acid battery. Rose GPE is proud of our work.

The car features Our goal for 2012 was to make a base prototype we could then improve for our a custom Salisbury limited slip differential, underbody diffuser, wireless telemetry, top-25 target in 2013. For that our design philosophy revolved around flexibility, KAZ/Penske dampers, and suspension kinematics focused on capitalizing on tire adjustability and improvability. performance.

Overall the design is an evolution of the team’s last car : suspension, powertrain and brakes are similar (albeit tweaked) versions of those used in 2010. Our main improvement is however the chassis, we managed to lower the chassis height without reducing driver space and lowered the center of gravity slightly. This required a smaller pedal cluster, which we managed even despite adding a clutch pedal which makes driving easier for those accustomed to common manual gearboxes.

Also, we learned and applied bionic design for the bodywork and overall aesthetics which produced a clean, smooth and attractive look we’re very pleased about.

Finally, the car had to be easy to a 15% increase in power through extensive engine tuning and data acquisition, manufacture, to the extent that a majority of the components could be machined a 7% reduction in weight, increased focus on testing and development of tire on a manual mill or lathe by an inexperienced machinist. knowledge and data.

Simplicity of manufacturing was achieved through standardized plumbing and fasteners as well as maximizing laser cut materials. Three levels of testing has allowed for testing of multiple intake designs in a short amount of time. De- velopment of simulation tools has assisted the McGill Racing Team to make better steering and suspension design choices. Implementation of a redesigned electronics system will allow the team to achieve performance gains better than ever before.

The car was designed with a modest wheelbase and track width held by a double wishbone-type front suspension with pushrod actuation, and a dual H-beam short-long-arm rear suspension, also with pushrod actuation. The tubular space frame is constructed from steel DOM tubing, mainly consisting of a high strength low alloy material. The entire package rides on 10” wheels and machined aluminum hubs and uprights.

Simplicity, functionality, and reliability are the three main concepts that governed the vehicles design in order to maximize drivability and performance. We’d also like to thank all sponsors and supporters of this year’s car, because it wouldn’t be possible without you.

Our goal was well defined: Design and manufacture a Formula SAE vehicle that conforms with the 2012 rules and successfully completes every dynamic event. A set of tenants was drafted to guide our design process: 1. F = ma (Does it make the car go faster?) 2. Keep It Simple Stupid (Is it required by the rules?) 3. To finish first, you must first finish 4. Safety > Reliability > Performance > Cost 5. Parts left off weigh nothing, cost nothing, and don’t cause service problems 6.

Several components were engineered in-house which marry new designs with commonly available subcomponents. For example, the sprag-type differential was built specifically for an FSAE type car, but allows the attachment of a variety of different Yamaha ATV ring gears to bolt directly to it.

A race car is only a tool, and like any other, if the tool is not right for the job, it will prove inadequate and worthless. This common-sense approach to our car, backed with proper engineering, appropriate safety factors and attention to performance make ours an excellent design.

GMI2012 runs deep. The design began with the selection a Basset 13” x 6” steel wheel and Hoosier 20.5X7.0-13 R25 tire. The frame and chassis was designed around the suspension nodes to provide a functional yet lightweight platform. To control the fueling and ignition a Megasquirt 3 with expansion card was chosen. The controller will control fuel and spark using the factory triggering sensors with modifications only to the cam angle wheel. To lower the center of gravity of the vehicle, the engine has been installed as low as possible. Because the factory oil pan does not allow ideal placement of the engine, a new oil pan has been CNC machined in-house from an aluminum billet. To transmit power from the engine to the wheels a Torsen differential will be used. The differential itself was purchased directly from Torsen, but the integration of the differential into the vehicle is entirely student designed.
