To my friends, who walked with me through the toughest challenges. iii iv Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Joao˜ Dias with whom I have worked closely since 2013 when PSEM was revived. His belief on my skills and the freedom he gave me while devel- oping this thesis was essential for its successful completion. Secondly, my family. My mother, father, sister and grandmother who always supported me and be- lieved on my decisions and my ability to overcome whichever setback I was faced with without never doubting me. I would like to thank Stephane´ Chosse, ADESS CEO, for the opportunity he gave me to work on an area I’ve loved since I was a little kid. Regarding ADESS, the team is amazing and we spent a great time working on some amazing projects. Maduro, Jose,´ Sergio,´ Andre,´ Hugo, Carlos, Marcio,´ Torsten, Jose´ Loureiro, Rui and Filipe, thank you for what you guys taught me and for the team spirit. I could not forget about the PSEM team where I spent most of my time in Tecnico.´ Most of what I know today I learned with you, working through endless days and sleepless nights. Mario,´ Frederico, Nuno, Guilherme, Andre,´ Gerardo, Catarina, Rita, Henrique, Hugo, Alves, Dias, Pedro, Joao˜ Oliveira, Rui, Chico, Ribeira, Ines,ˆ Gonc¸alo, Ch´ıcharo and Mendes, this here is for you. I would like to give a special thank you to Prakash from Altair who, despite not knowing me, helped me a lot through the Altair Forums, e-mails and Skype calls so I could finish my work in time. Last but not least, I want to thank all my friends from Tecnico´ who walked this path with me, Pedro, Catarina, Beatriz, Duarte, Jose,´ Renato, Hugo, Carolina and Ricardo. A special word to Ana for her encouragement and for always being by my side to support me face my challenges and help however she could. v vi Resumo Esta tese acompanha todo o trabalho de actualizac¸ao˜ e optimizac¸ao˜ da nova asa traseira do Prototipo´ LMP3 ADESS-03. O trabalho desenvolvido esta´ inclu´ıdo no processo de actualizac¸ao˜ do carroc¸aria do mesmo prototipo´ para os novos regulamentos de 2019. Para comec¸ar, o modelo CAD da asa foi alterado devido a defeitos estruturais existentes no modelo anterior. De seguida, foi definido um layup standard e avaliado a sua rigidez estrutural recorrendo a estudos de elementos finitos. Com base nos resultados desses estudos, foram definidos objectivos para optimizac¸ao˜ da estrutura da asa de maneira a obter a maior rigidez poss´ıvel para a menor massa poss´ıvel. Recorrendo ao solver Optistruct e a um novo algoritmo desenvolvido para simplificar a forma do resultado da optimizac¸ao,˜ foi atingido um layup ideal que apresentava uma rigidez 73% superior apesar de ser 12% mais pesado. Com base no resultado optimizado foi analisado todo o processo de fabrico, desenhados os moldes e por ultimo,´ realizado um estudo para prever o custo relativo da pec¸a comparativamente ao layup original. Os resultados deste estudo colocaram o layup optimizado fora do plano de fabrico devido ao custo total ser 479% superior ao layup standard. Com base no layup optimizado, foi testado um novo layup simplificado que nao˜ so´ teria melhor comportamento mecanicoˆ que o layup standard mas seria tambem´ significativamente mais barato que o layup optimizado. No final, a asa optimizada pesa 20% menos que o layup standard, e´ 54% mais r´ıgida para um aumento de custo de produc¸ao˜ de 163%. Palavras-chave: Prototipo´ LMP3, Optimizac¸ao˜ Estrutural, Materiais Compositos,´ Analise´ de Custo. vii viii Abstract This thesis follows all the design and optimization work of the new rear wing for the ADESS-03 LMP3 prototype. The work developed is included on the process of updating the bodywork of the prototype to comply with the new 2019 regulations. To start, the CAD model was updated due to structural defects existing on the previous model. After, a standard layup was defined and its structural integrity evaluated using FEA studies. Based on the results from those studies, objectives were defined for the wing opti- mization to obtain the stiffest structure possible for the least possible mass. Using Optistruct and a new algorithm developed to simplify the shape of the optimization process, an ideal layup was obtained that allowed for 73% less displacement to an increase in mass of 12%. Based on the optimized result, the whole manufacture process was analysed, the moulds were designed and finally, a study was performed to try to estimate the relative cost of the optimized layup compared to the standard layup. The results of this study placed the optimized layup outside of the manufacturing plan due to the total cost being 479% higher than the standard layup. Based on the optimized layup, a new simpler layup was tested that should have a better mechanical behaviour than the standard layup while being significantly cheaper than the optimized layup. In the end, the optimized wing weights 20% less than the standard layup, is 54% stiffer while being 163% more expensive to manufacture.

Hugues de Chaunac’s Editorial The upcoming 88th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to be held in September and behind closed doors this year, is shaping up to be a special one for ORECA. Our teams and I are particularly proud to see 20 ORECA 07 chassis entered in the LMP2 class. This record makes us the most represented constructor on the starting grid of the most iconic endurance race in the world! Two Rebellion R-13 are expected in LMP1 as well. The Rebellion Racing team’s stunning victory and double podium finish at the first-ever 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual has inspired us to raise the bar even higher for the actual race. Since 2012, we have made available to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing the breadth of our experience and client services through operational support, and our mechanics and engineers.

    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
