Flaws: Brake Bracket Needed to be ¼” more toward the outside to properly line up the caliper with the brake rotor Excess Material on Steering Bracket Flaws: Steering Bracket Not Double Shear Stepped Brake Bracket Eyesore and Possible cause for Failure [Model that was 3D Printed] Below ¼” added to the rear of the upright at top and bottom to support brake bracket
6
Corrections Made After Rapid Prototyping : -Threaded Hole Size For Brake Bracket -Height and Depth of Lower A-Arm Recess -Material Added Between Steering Bracket Tabs -Bolted Brake Bracket Advantages of Using Rapid Prototyping -Fast and Efficient Way of Reinforcing Design Dimensions -Relatively Cheap to Produce

Initial Design ◦ Model of current upright ◦ Working design needing optimization Reduce weight while maintaining strength 2.51 lbs ◦ Possible Changes Remove Webbing Reduce Thickness Optimize Material Al 6061 Alloy decided upon
9
First Design ◦ Removal of webbing ◦ Slightly lighter than initial design 2.46 lbs ◦ Preliminary stress analysis reveal high factor of safety throughout part
10
Second Design ◦ Reduced thickness of part by 0.25” Bearing thickness remains the same ◦ 2.32 lbs ◦ Preliminary stress analysis revealed high factor of safety throughout part
11
Final Design ◦ Combination of design one and two Thickness reduced to 0.75” Webbing removed ◦ Lightest of all designs 1.64 lbs ◦ Fillet added between feet and bracing bar to reduce stress concentration ◦ Resized after prototype test fit

Problem Statement: ◦ To design and build an intake that delivers maximum performance possible for our engine. Accomplishments this year: ◦ Researched different intake styles and chose the most efficient style ◦ Created and revised design in Solidworks ◦ Ran design through SolidWork’s flow analysis program ◦ Revised our design in accordance to flow results (Still in progress) ◦ Researched material costs
14
Research determined that a spherical collector upright intake was the most efficient design (1). The taper of the cone collector should be between 3-7 degrees (2). Optimal runner length of 250-325mm (3). 20 mm FSAE mandated restrictor (3) (1) (2)
15
Typical stock exhaust uses small diameter crush bent pipe or mandrel bent pipe. ◦ Crush bents are easier and cheaper to make however reduce the flow by 50%. ◦ To produce the most power exhaust should have minimal restriction on the exact flow. Components: 4 headers and silencer canister (muffler)
16
◦ Preliminary design ◦ Revised (Final) Design Goal of runners: Achieve maximum and even flow to all 4 cylinders
17
◦ Collector Version 1 (3 degree taper) ◦ Collector Version 2 (5 degree taper) ◦ Restrictor Version 1 (for 3 degree collector) ◦ Restrictor Version 2 (for 5 degree collector)
18
◦ Full Assembly (5 degree collector) ◦ Full Assembly (3 degree collector)
19
Analysis ◦ Initial Testing using Solidworks FloXpress ◦ Tests one intake runner at a time ◦ Future testing with time dependent modeling across all four cylinders required for final analysis
