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.

  • Club Lotus Elan Section
    CLUB LOTUS ELAN SECTION The 1970 Lotus advert with Dr Hammond Building an Elan from a Kit – In a Weekend? Over the years the Elan has gained a reputation, unfairly we would argue, of being nothing more than a kit car. This somewhat shallow view ignores the very fine driving qualities of a car we all admire and treasure! However, Colin Chapman realised that his rather expensive two seater could be made more attractive to his potential customers if they did not have to pay UK Purchase Tax on their Elan. This could be achieved, under the tax regime of the day, by supplying a car in ‘Component Form’. This is what Lotus did to increase the appeal of the much admired Elan to a wider motoring public. A buyer could save up to 30% on the price of a fully factory assembled Elan in this way. We would point out, however, that in reality, the Elan was never a kit car or component car, but a car delivered to the customer for final assembly, predominantly using pre-built sub-assemblies. A kit car, also known as a "component car", is one that is available as a set of parts that a manufacturer sells and the buyer then either assembles into a car themselves, or retains a third party to do part or all of the work on their behalf. It was in 1896 that an Englishman, Thomas Hyler White first developed a design for a car that could be assembled at home. His designs were published in a magazine called ‘The English Mechanic’ and he later wrote a book, ‘Petrol Motors and Motor Cars: A Handbook for Engineers, Designers, and Draftsmen’ about his ideas.
