Morphological Chart
4
Feasibility Study Power Source –Hydraulic Advantages –Fluid is incompressible –Can withstand high line pressures –Precise volume control Disadvantages –Hydraulic fluid is heavier than air –Leaks pose risk to customer at competition –Reaction time at a given pressure is lower –Hydraulics are more strictly regulated in FSAE –Hydraulic pump requires another power system
5
Feasibility Study Power Source –Electronic Advantages –Simple storage device –Does not require any fluids –Most energy dense option Disadvantages –Heavy –Slow response due to back EMF –FSAE rules on a secondary electronic power source reduce the systems efficiency and increase complexity
6
Feasibility Study Power Source –Pneumatic Advantages –Fluid can be vented to atmosphere –Customer familiar with pneumatic systems –Leaks to not pose a health risk or issue for customer during competition –System lockup easily mitigated Disadvantages –Loss of air pressure results in loss of system power –Recharging the system cannot be done by the customer –Space claim is larger than other options
7
Feasibility Study Move Clutch Shaft –Cable will be used as mechanical override –Linear actuators are more common for pneumatic systems Sense Position –Linear potentiometers cannot seal well –Rotary potentiometer can handle environment –Pressure sensors require baseline testing Manual Override –Both controls will be integrated to system
8
Feasibility Study Carry System Signal –CAN Bus will allow our system to interface with many other systems quickly and effectively Process System Signal –Existing ECU does not have functionality we need –Microcontroller will allow design freedom
9
CAN System 00000 000001
10
Feasibility Study Easy to Fix/Maintain –A mixture of custom and COTS parts will be required –When applicable, COTS parts will be used to lower cost and make repairing easy Measure Wheel Slip –Customer currently uses wheel speed sensors Utilize these to minimize complexity and cost
