ABOUT THE COMPETITION

Formula SAE is a student design competition organized by the Society of AutomotiveEngineers (SAE, also known as SAE International). The competition was started back in 1978

and was originally called SAE Mini Indy. The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional

manufacturing company has contracted a student design team to develop a small Formula-style

race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. Thetarget marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each

student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules, whose purpose is

both ensuring on-track safety (the cars are driven by the students themselves) and promotingclever problem solving.

Formula SAE encompasses all aspects of a business including research, design, manufacturing,

testing, developing, marketing, management, and fund raising. Formula SAE takes students out

of the class room and puts them in the real world.

The Formula SAE Competition Series consists of the following seven (7) competitions:

1. Formula SAE Michigan held in Michigan, USA and organized by SAE International.

2. Formula SAE Lincoln (formerly California), held in Nebraska, USA and organized by SAE

International.3. Formula SAE Australasia held in Australia and organized by SAE Australasia

4. Formula SAE Brazil held in Brazil and organized by SAE Brazil

5. Formula SAE Italy held in Italy and organized by ATA6. Formula Student held in the United Kingdom and organized by IMechE

7. Formula Student Germany held in Germany and organized by VDI.

FORMULA STUDENT, GERMANY (FSG)

Formula Student is also a F1 racing competition sanctioned by the collaborated committee ofSAE and IMechE. It is yearly organized by Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (V.D.I.) at

Hockenheimring in August month.

The prototype race cars appearing in the competition are judged in a number of different events.

The Types and the points schedule for most Formula SAE events are:

Design Event 150

Cost & Manufacturing Analysis Event 100

Presentation Event 75

Acceleration Event 75

Skidpad Event 50

Autocross Event 150

Fuel Economy Event 100

Endurance Event 300

Total Points Possible 1,000

In addition to these events, various sponsors of the competition provide awards for superior

design accomplishments. For example, best use of E-85 ethanol fuel, innovative use of

electronics, recyclability, crash worthiness, analytical approach to design, and overall dynamic

performance are some of the awards available. At the beginning of the competition, the vehicle ischecked for rule compliance during the Technical Inspection. Its braking ability, rollover

stability and noise levels are checked before the vehicle is allowed to compete in the dynamic

events.

THE DESIGN CONCEPT

The design concept of Formula SAE and Formula Student, as its name suggest, comes from the

Formula ONE or F1 concept and technology. High-performance, low-weight and high power

these are some of the qualities which are expected to be found in a formula racing styled cars.Perfect Aerodynamics and streamlined bodies increase the drag-force of the car to such extent

that it seems that the car is stuck on the road.

The BVCoE team is tryin the same to achieve a formula car which can perform to the likes of the

Formula cars. For achieving the likes of the performance of Formula cars, it should have the

parts and technology of Formula cars. The Formula car designed by the BVCoE team will be the

following main structure:

Main chassis

Monocoque body

Engine

Suspension

Wheel and Brakes

Aerodynamics

Weight

Each above component is discussed in the following pages.


7/17

THE MAIN CHASSIS

The main chassis is the main structure on which the whole formula car is made. In the case of

vehicles, the term chassis means the frame plus the "running gear" like engine, transmission,

driveshaft, differential, and suspension. For formula cars the chassis must be as light and as

strong as possible. The design of the chassis should be such that the deformation of the car is to

be kept very less or negligible and simultaneously holding every system of the running car.

Below is the CAD Drawing of the chassis made by the team. It has been made as according to

the rules given by the competition authorities. The chassis is made with Chromolloy Steel 4130

or Steel T-45. The chassis went through a rigorous stress analysis process in which effect of load

on every member was checked and changes were done wherever necessary.


8/17

The Side and Top view of the chassis.

It can be seen in the side view that the Roll over loop has been given sufficient height to provide

safe clearance to the drivers head as according to the FSAE Rules.

The width of the chassis, as seen in this top view, is kept as lean as possible to keep the air-drag

minimum.


9/17

THE MONOCOQUE BODY

Monocoque is a construction technique that supports structural load by using an object's exterior,as opposed to using an internal frame or truss that is then covered with a non-load-bearing skin

or coachwork. The word monocoque comes from the Greek for single (mono) and French for

shell (coque). The technique may also be called structural skin, stressed skin, unit body, unibody,unitary construction, or Body Frame Integral (BFI).

In formula technology monocoque body comes in the form of body panels, which serve the

purpose of giving the car a smooth and strong covering panel which fits on the chassis and

makes the whole unit as one piece. Monocoque body panels of a formula car also include sidepods and aero wings which improve the air intake and aerodynamics of the car respectively.

The team after thorough research decided of light-weight aluminium alloy or carbon-fiber sheetsfor the body panels.

THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The engine must be a four-stroke, Otto-cycle piston engine with a displacement no greater than

610cc. An air restrictor of circular cross-section must be fitted downstream of the throttle and

upstream of any compressor, no greater than 20mm for gasoline engines or 19mm for ethanol-

fueled engines. The restrictor keeps power levels below 100 hp in the vast majority of FSAE

cars. Most commonly, production four-cylinder 600cc sport bike motors are used due to their

availability and displacement, however many teams have also used smaller V-twin and single-

cylinder engines.

Considering the limit of power-to-weight ratio and also the requirement of fast acceleration the

team selected the 559 cc inline four cylinder engine. The transmission serves the purpose of

effectively transmitting the power of engine to wheels in a controlled manner. The formula cars

are famous for the pedal shifters which replace the use of the gear stick and ensure fast and

efficient gear shifting.

THE SUSPENSION

Suspension is another most important part of the car as it makes the car stable and determines its

ability to steer efficiently. Most of the cars in the Formula SAE competition opt for independent

suspension system in both rear and front of the car. The team selected the universally acceptedDouble Wishbone suspension system for its ability to give a good ratio of stability and

maneuverability.

DOUBLE WISHBONE SUSPENSION


12/17

WHEELS AND BRAKES

Wheels and brakes also form and integral part of the car as on a formula race track the formula

car goes through the acceleration and brake cycles thousands of times so efficient braking and

good tire grips are very important. Formula cars are famous for employing non-treaded tirescalled as slick tires. Ventilated Disc brakes are used for frequent braking in the race and better

control of the car at high speeds. The team has selected the ventilated disc brakes in both front

and rear and sets of both high performance race tires and slick tires.

THE AERODYNAMICS

The aerodynamics of the car shows how fast or stable the car can run at high speeds. With usage

of massive wings and undertrays and front wings the downforce of the car can be increasedfurther to increase the stability of the car at high speeds. But there are few regulations or

requirements on aerodynamics. Most teams do not build aerodynamic packages as the speeds

involved in FSAE competition rarely exceed 60 mph (97 km/h), and design judging tends tofrown upon aerodynamic parts that do not have definite test data, usually in the form of wind

tunnel testing or at least computational fluid dynamics analysis. Therefore most cars that do

utilize aerodynamic downforce tend to develop their entire car around the aerodynamic package,

including massive wings and undertrays. The benefit of a well-developed aerodynamic packageis evident; depending on how fast the course is, the slowest aero-package cars sometimes run

several seconds per lap faster than any of the non-aero cars. But, on windy days, at the drag strip,

or especially in the fuel economy event, aero cars can suffer significantly.

After thorough consideration the team decided to not to use the aerodynamic devices like wingsas of their requirement of data test sheets in the competition.


13/17

WEIGHT OF THE CAR

There is no weight restriction. The weight of the average competitive Formula SAE car usually

weighs less than 500 lb. (230 kg) in race trim. However, the lack of weight regulation combined

with the somewhat fixed power ceiling encourages teams to adopt innovative weight-savingstrategies, such as the use of composite materials, elaborate and expensive machining projects,

and rapid prototyping. In 2009 the fuel economy portion of the endurance event was assigned

100 of the 400 endurance points, up from 50. This rules change has marked a trend in engine

downsizing in an attempt to save weight and increase fuel economy. Several top-running teams

have switched from high-powered four-cylinder cars to smaller, one- or two-cylinder engines

which, though they usually make much less power, allow weight savings of 75 lb. (34 kg) or

more, and also provide much better fuel economy. If a lightweight single-cylinder car can keep a

reasonable pace in the endurance race, it can often make up the points lost in overall time to the

heavier, high-powered cars by an exceptional fuel economy score. The tentative weight of the

teams car will be in the range 330 to 350 kg, thus ensuring good power-weight ratio and enoughspace for involving heavier power machinery for the car.
