All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. Wesley Linton Abstract The Luego prototype chassis was tested to determine the value of its global torsional stiffness. This value was calculated to be 1330Nm/deg. This value was to be improved upon by the following method: • Creation of a Finite element baseline validation model • Discussed modification of this model • A design improvement study • An optimisation study The creation of a Finite Element baseline validation model using MSC Patran/Nastran software compared favourably with the physical test results with a torsional stiffness value of 1352Nm/deg for a mass of 120.1Kg and an efficiency of 88g/Nm/deg. The discussed modifications had been suggested to Luego upon initial appraisal of the chassis were incorporated into this baseline model and resulted in increases in both torsional stiffness and efficiency. Further, the design improvement study performed resulted in a maximum torsional stiffness of 6448Nm/deg, an increase of 377% over the baseline model. A maximum increase in efficiency of 286% to 23g/Nm/deg for a mass of 148.3Kg accompanied this increase in torsional stiffness.

  • Bill Cardell's Westfield SDV with Mazda 1.8 L Turbo Engine
    Bill Cardell's Westfield SDV with Mazda 1.8L Turbo Engine http://www.britishv8.org/Other/BillCardell.htm Bill Cardell's Westfield SDV with Mazda 1.8L Turbo Engine as published in British V8 Magazine, Volume XVI Issue 1, May 2008 Owner: Bill Cardell City: Palisade, CO Model: 2007 Westfield SDV Engine: Mazda Miata 1.8L turbo. Built by: Bill Cardell, Keith Tanner, and their staff at Flyin' Miata. Background Information: The history of Westfield Sportscars Ltd. started with a one-off replica of the 1956 Lotus "Eleven" LeMans race car. Historic grand prix racer Chris Smith built that first car for personal use in 1982. Just like the original Lotus Eleven, Smith's replica featured enclosed bodywork, including faired rear wheels. Because his replica was so well received, Mr. Smith was encouraged to develop his design into a kit for other enthusiasts. In 1983, Westfield Sportscars was officially launched. Westfield soon added a second car to their range, which they designed to closely resemble the bicycle-fendered Lotus "Seven" model. Bill Cardell's SDV, shown here, is the latest development of that theme. The original Lotus Seven was introduced in 1957. After Lotus discontinued it, in 1973, production was nearly immediately continued under exclusive license by Caterham Cars. When Westfield began offering Seven replicas, Caterham was obliged to protect their intellectual property through lawsuit. The suit was settled out-of-court with agreement from Westfield that both cosmetic and functional changes would be made to differentiate the Westfield SE model from Caterham's Seven (and hence from original Lotuses.) The design changes included more extensive use of fiberglass in lieu of aluminum panels, wider passenger compartments, and also independent rear suspension.
