Abstract:
Chassis design plays a critical role in the performance, safety, and dynamic stability of Formula Student race cars. Since vehicle performance is inversely proportional to mass, optimization of the chassis structure is essential to achieve high stiffness with minimal weight. This study presents a finite element-based structural and modal analysis of a 1-D space frame chassis using different beam cross sections: circular, rectangular, and I-profile sections. Two configurations (single frame and double frame) were evaluated using Structural Steel and Titanium Alloy materials.
