“…The measurement method proposed by Jacob I. Salter and Thompson et al [3], [7] could accurately measure the stiffness and strength of the frame. William B. Riley and Albert R. George et al [2] put forward a new method. This method of applying the load through the suspension to measure not only can measure the rigidity of the frame, but also can measure the variation of the working angle of the tire, which provides accurate data for the analysis of vehicle performance.…”

“…High torsional stiffness and light weight are the goal of optimizing the frame. According to the research of Jacob I. Salter, William B. Riley and Albert R. George et al [2], [3], a small cabin could effectively reduce the torsional moment of the frame. The torsional performance of frame could be increased by the large cockpit, with engine and other major components increasing the stiffness of the rear frame stiffness.…”

Abstract. The frame, as one of the basic components of a car, plays an important role of connecting components and withstanding various loads. The truss-frame is the commonest form of Formula SAE car in that it has many advantages, such as low cost, simple manufacture, high rigidity and high strength. The development of frame is reviewed. First, the key performance indicators and the mechanical state of the frame under different conditions are discussed. Second, a variety of optimization methods used in the design of frame are described. Finally, the test method of frame are introduced, with the experimental data and the finite element analysis of results being compared.Through analyzing and summarizing the development of the design, optimization and testing technology of the Formula SAE truss-frame, forecasting the future trends, the great theoretical reference is provided for the design and research of the follow-up frame.

Abstract. Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) is a competition for students to construct formula student car. One of an essential part of a formula student car is its chassis. Chassis is an internal vehicle frame which holds all another part of the vehicle and secures the driver. The team have to design their chassis and tests their design to achieve the best chassis that fulfill the regulation. This paper contains chassis design from Bengawan FSAE Team and some FEA tests to find out the Tensile Strength, Torsional Rigidity, and Von Misses Stress of Formula SAE car. Torsional rigidity was found by applying the static torsional test. The results from torsional rigidity test are a maximum deformation of 9.9512 mm with 1.7064 safety factor, and 35.935 MPa maximum Von Misses Stress. Moreover, then the result of the vertical bending strength test is 8.1214 mm max deformation with safety factor 4.2717, and 29.226 MPa maximum Von Misses Stress.
