  • Vehicle Dynamics and Performance Driving

    Vehicle Dynamics and Performance Driving

    Vehicle Dynamics In the world of performance automobiles, speed does not rule everything. However, ask any serious enthusiast what the most important performance aspect of a car is, and he'll tell you it's handling. To those of you who know little to nothing about automobiles, handling determines the vehicle's ability to corner and maneuver. A good handling car will be able to maneuver with ease, zig-zag between cones, and frolic through windy roads. A poor handling car, however, will have trouble maneuvering, knock over cones, and will most likely end up in the ditch if trying to make its way through windy roads. Want to have fun while driving? Buy a good handling car. A car that can maneuver well will be safer and much more fun to drive. According to Racing Legend Mario Andretti, "handling is an automobile's soul." It determines the difference between a car that's enjoyable to drive and one that's simply a means for getting from Point A to Point B. According to their handling properties, cars such as the BMW M3, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4, and the Lotus Elise should bring the driver the most excitement (The Ultimate Driving Experience). While cars like the Dodge Viper may provide the driver with an abundance of power and speed, the poor handling may take away from driver excitement. So what makes a car handle well? A car's handling abilities are solely determined by how they obey the laws of physics. The physics of handling involves everything from forces to torque, so evaluating handling is an extremely complicated affair.
  • Development and Analysis of a Multi-Link Suspension for Racing Applications

    Development and Analysis of a Multi-Link Suspension for Racing Applications

    Development and analysis of a multi-link suspension for racing applications W. Lamers DCT 2008.077 Master’s thesis Coach: dr. ir. I.J.M. Besselink (Tu/e) Supervisor: Prof. dr. H. Nijmeijer (Tu/e) Committee members: dr. ir. R.M. van Druten (Tu/e) ir. H. Vun (PDE Automotive) Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Department Mechanical Engineering Dynamics and Control Group Eindhoven, May, 2008 Abstract University teams from around the world compete in the Formula SAE competition with prototype formula vehicles. The vehicles have to be developed, build and tested by the teams. The University Racing Eindhoven team from the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands competes with the URE04 vehicle in the 2007-2008 season. A new multi-link suspension has to be developed to improve handling, driver feedback and performance. Tyres play a crucial role in vehicle dynamics and therefore are tyre models fitted onto tyre measure- ment data such that they can be used to chose the tyre with the best characteristics, and to develop the suspension kinematics of the vehicle. These tyre models are also used for an analytic vehicle model to analyse the influence of vehicle pa- rameters such as its mass and centre of gravity height to develop a design strategy. Lowering the centre of gravity height is necessary to improve performance during cornering and braking. The development of the suspension kinematics is done by using numerical optimization techniques. The suspension kinematic objectives have to be approached as close as possible by relocating the sus- pension coordinates. The most important improvements of the suspension kinematics are firstly the harmonization of camber dependant kinematics which result in the optimal camber angles of the tyres during driving.
  • A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment

    A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment

    A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment by Allison Waters A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 c Allison Waters 2017 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis presents the work of creating and validating a novel corner module for a three-wheeled urban electric vehicle in the tadpole configuration. As the urban population increases, there will be a growing need for compact, personal transportation. While urban electric vehicles are compact, they are inherently less stable when negotiating a turn, and they leave little space for passengers, cargo and crash structures. Corner modules provide an effective solution to increase the space in the cabin and increase the handling capabilities of the vehicle. Many corner module designs have been produced in the hopes of increasing the cabin space and improving the road holding capabilities of the wheel. However, none have been used to increase the turning stability of the vehicle via an active camber mechanism while remaining in an acceptable packaging space. Active camber mechanisms are also not a new concept, but they have not been implemented in a narrow packaging space with relatively large camber angle. Parallel mechanism research and vehicle dynamics theory were combined to generate and analyse this new corner module design.

  • Tech 03: Spring Spacing, Roll Stiffness and Transverse Weight Transfer

    Tech 03: Spring Spacing, Roll Stiffness and Transverse Weight Transfer

    Tech 03: Spring spacing, Roll Stiffness and Transverse Weight Transfer By ZŝĐŚĂƌĚ͞Doc͟ Hathaway, H&S Prototype and Design, LLC. Understanding how your choice of spring type, spring stiffness, spring placement and spring angle influence the front and rear roll stiffness and the roll stiffness distribution is important to understanding how the weight is distributed to the tires when the race car is cornering. In this tutorial we will work primarily with helping you understand how roll stiffness is determined and how your choice of the above mentioned variables affects its value. Just as the springs act to support the race car weight and control the vertical chassis motions, they also work to control the amount of roll the race car chassis has when cornering. This resistance to chassis roll offered by the springs is called roll stiffness. In addition to the roll stiffness, the front and rear roll center heights also determine how each of the suspensions transfer the cornering forces, the weight transfer and how much roll the chassis takes on during cornering. Tech 01- Springs, Shocks and your Suspension which was posted earlier is a reference for this Tech session. A quick overview of that material is included to assure you have correct suspension values with which to work. The terminology There are two primary angles that govern how race cars transfer weight during racing maneuvers. The first is the roll angle which is the angle, side-to-side, the car seeks as the turn is entered and as the car proceeds through the turn. If there is a roll angle, there MUST be a center for that rotation to occur about; that defines the roll center.

    Chassis Tuning 101 Matt Murphy’S Dirt Oval Chassis Tuning Guide

    Chassis Tuning 101 Matt Murphy’s Dirt Oval Chassis Tuning Guide PREFACE Over the last 17 years of my life, I have raced Dirt Oval all over the United States, on foam tires and rubber, hard packed and loose dirt. I have learned a lot about chassis setup on many different track surfaces with many different types of cars. Much of what I have learned is from trial and error, and quite a bit I have learned from doing plain old research on race car chassis dynamics. My goal now is to take what I have learned, and share it with you, but I want to do so in the simplest, easiest to understand manner that I possibly can. I certainly do not know everything, and I am not always right, however I can say that it is rare that I work on a particular chassis setup, and do not find improvement with each adjustment. My theories are just that, and are intended only to help you better enjoy your RC race cars, no matter which make and model you choose. Some things I pay much more attention to than others when it comes to chassis setup, but please understand there is no right or wrong, there is simply what works best for YOU!

In 2010 it was decided that Monash Motorsport would do a “clean sheet” design, so the simulation was made in order to find the effect each aspect of the car has on the cars total performance. This report also shows how to correctly validate raw test data against the equations used to create the model in order to improve the accuracy and understanding of the model and to calculate suitable performance metrics for the car.
