Formula SAE is steeped in tradition. For more than 30 years, this competition has provided competitors with a unique brand of hands-on learning. From the beginning of the design process through the fabrication of the vehicle and on to the actual competition, students are in charge. They make the decisions and find the solutions. It’s engineering education at its very best. Formula SAE also provides a unique form of competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from around the world will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work willhard not. and But compete all will toleave win. here Some a betterwill accept engineer awardsing student. for first place, others This unique event not only reflects the spirit of competition, but also offers a glimpse of the future of automotive engineering and design. Formula SAE alumni are working throughout motorsports engineering, including the automotive, aviation and motorsports industries. Good luck to everyone competing; I hope that you all do well. Enjoy the competition and the camaraderie that you will share. TToo the sponsors, volunteers and faculty advisors herheree this week, thank you. Without you, this competition would not exist. Each of you deserves credit and respect. Enjoy the week! Sincerely, James E.

The intended sales market is the VIR Site Map .................................... 3333 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)(4) cars perper day for a limited production run and the prototype vehicle shouldshould actually cost below $25,000. The andchallenge intents. to Eachthe design design team will beis tocompared design and and fabri judgecated with a prototype other competing car that best designs meets to determinethese goals the best overall car. Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: techtechnicalnical 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 222 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.

  • Milwaukee Section Newsletter
    SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS Milwaukee Section Newsletter December 2011 - UPDATE www.milwaukeesae.com Hybrid Drive Trains Joint Meeting with ASME Pewaukee, WI - Wednesday January 18th, 2012 Waukesha County Technical College Industrial Building Energy Recovery and Storage Technology for Automobiles NOTE: Due to a scheduling conflict with General Motors, the January Section meeting date and topic have changed slightly. The changes are reflected in this newsletter update. We appreciate your flexibility with this matter. Meeting Abstract This month, we go under the hood of a new kind of drive train, one of which we will see much more as time passes. In joint session with our local section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), we learn about a hybrid gas/electric drive system as implemented by Toyota, branded the Hybrid Synergy Drive. We will receive an overview of the system as well as an understanding of the development process and technical advantages over competing designs. Toyota hybrid vehicles are often referred to as a combined hybrid because they are powered by both gasoline and electric power. Key hybrid components include: regenerative braking; two electric motors and generators; internal combustion engine; the Power Split Device to increase fuel efficiency and improve performance; a vacuum flask to store Cut away of Toyota hybrid drive hot coolant; a "stealth" mode that lets the car operate only on electric power for a short period of time and a sealed NiMH battery pack for easy charging and prolonged battery life. Our presenters have a strong practical knowledge about our topic. Don McGreer, with more than 30 years at Toyota, is an instructor at the Training Center at Toyota.

  • Powertrain Optimization of a Series Hybrid Race Car
    Powertrain optimization of a series hybrid race car By Albert Mathews August 2009 Department of Mechanical Engineering McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada, H3A 2K6 A thesis submitted to McGill University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering © Albert Mathews 2009 ii ABSTRACT In recent years, we have witnessed the introduction of hybrid powertrains into the world of automobile racing. When compared to their conventional counter parts, hybrid powertrains demonstrate increased complexity with added degrees of freedom and technical barriers. For this reason, optimization of these systems becomes significantly more difficult requiring novel techniques. This thesis documents the work performed to develop simulation techniques intended for the optimization of a series hybrid powertrain which was itself designed for an open wheeled, single seat race vehicle. The methodology employs computer simulation techniques such as driver-in- the-loop and forward facing powertrain models to optimize the vehicle powertrain for a specific set of known race conditions. Data obtained from an existing vehicle and its individual components, was used in the creation and validation of the models developed for this work. The conclusions of the optimization process agree reasonably with the results from track testing of a subsequent vehicle equipped with a powertrain design based on the work performed. The simulation techniques employed here realized significant improvement in the vehicle performance and provided the ability to optimize the powertrain for any set of known race conditions. iii RÉSUMÉ Tout récemment, la motorisation hybride a fait son entrée dans le monde de la course automobile. Ce type de motorisation est beaucoup plus complexe à gérer et à optimiser qu’une motorisation conventionnelle à moteur thermique.

    Tucson, AZ 85711 NativesOutdoors: Work: Personal: EDUCATION Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA Engineering and Public Policy, Doctorate Jan 12’ – Aug. 16’ GPA: 3.79/4.0 My doctoral thesis is focused upon the development of a technical decision tool for energy resource management on the Navajo Nation that incorporates cultural values into its development. Decisions on the management of energy resources are complex and requires tradeoffs between technical and societal outcomes. The multidisciplinary methods that I employ in this research can enable future decision making tools to better represent both energy systems and the societies they serve. By determining how cultural values relate to energy use and impacts, we can better understand how these factors inform preferences about energy resources and thus develop technical tools more reflective of the societies and individuals they serve. Toward this goal I have developed an HTML based decision tool for public engagement as well as a more complex capacity expansion model based upon the MARKAL/TIMES framework. The development of these tools was informed by a series of mental-model interviews on the Navajo Nation to determine the role of cultural values and views associated with the environmental, economic, and societal outcomes of energy resource development.

The Vandal racing team – also known as Voltz N’ Boltz – drove home with the competition’s top prizes. The team earned the Chrysler Innovation Award, which recognizes innovative design and implementation, and the General Motors Best-Engineered Hybrid first place award, which is given to teams that demonstrate achievements in three categories: introducing new technologies and/or a remarkable implementation of existing technologies, making a positive difference and extraordinary vehicle balance. In addition, the team placed second in the Skip Barber Teamwork Award, which is given to teams displaying the best overall collaborative teamwork skills. Twelve teams competed in this year’s hybrid division competition, including Yale University, the University of Michigan and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Lawrence Technological University in Michigan placed second and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University of Florida placed third, with Yale a close fourth. In the midst of the 2014 Engineering Design EXPO opening ceremonies, Dean Larry Stauffer received news of the team’s victory.
