| Abstract | The present document shows the structural design of the suspension systems of a race car of Formula Student competition (ART-15 and ART-16), as well as the local analysis of a tubular element of the structure made of carbon-epoxy composite material. The structural calculation of suspension systems begins by developing a matrix calculation model in Matlab that will allow the design of the structural components of the ART-15 suspension. Next, a non-linear finite element model with more complexity will be carried out to calculate the structure of the suspension systems of the ART-16. The biggest internal forces, as well as the most critical structural component, will be used to locally analyze a composite tube under different load cases represented by these biggest internal forces. The aim of local analysis of the composite shaft is to compare the results of two possible numerical models that can be considered according to the manufacturing process for these tubular structures , fillament-winding. One of the models allows to simulate the layer-pattern that is generated during the manufacturing process (Cell Model), whereas the other model only represents unidirectional homogeneous layers (Layer Model). The objective is to draw conclusions about which of the two models allows to simulate more accurately the mechanical behavior of a tube as component of a suspension system of a Formula Student race car. An analytical model is also developed, using the classical laminate theory, to obtain reliable results when comparing the results of numerical models. |
