Request a Demo SessionWe will begin this course by laying a foundation of the basic concepts in racing cars. The performance of a racing car depends on its layout. In order to ensure that the layout design delivers good performance, the following steps must be executed Identify important design objectives for a successful racing car Compute loads on a car during operating conditions like Acceleration Braking Cornering Study how these loads influence the aerodynamic forces acting on the car
For optimum performance, we must be able to understand the objectives of suspension systems. In this session, we will focus on Providing secure locations for suspension attachment to chassis, which can endure road loads and aerodynamic loads Designing a double wishbone suspension and understand how geometry changes affect vehicle control Using a simple graph sheets or software packages to tune suspension properties for parts like toe and camber Selecting suitable structural members by learning to calculate loads on suspension members Learning to control pitching of a car using suspension links, anti-squat and anti-dive controls
The primary purpose of a spring and damper in a race car is to optimize contact between the tire and road. In this session we will focus on these parts to understand the dynamic behavior of racing cars by Understanding springs, dampers arrangement on racing cars Designing spring length and stiffness Understanding the reasoning behind choosing a spring stiffness and spring length Making simple excel tools to understand primary ride behavior Understanding basic types of racing dampers Designing an anti-roll system
Understanding vehicle stability is important to know the dynamics of a car. In this module, we will
Learn about the factors that influence understeer or oversteer like tire slip angle and body slip angle etc
Estimate the values of understeer/oversteer or neutral steer a race car must have
Learn about the significance of rolling resistance and camber thrust
Study the importance of slip ratio during acceleration and braking
Explore topics such as tire testing for the tire mathematical model: Pacejka tyre model
Study about the influence of lateral load transfer/suspension roll stiffness on tire performance
Estimate actual amount of jacking during cornering
In this module, we will focus on learning about the components involved in the front wheel assembly and how they are packaged. We will
Study about the importance of minimizing the unsprung mass
Understand racing car steering systems and how to avoid problems
Evaluate loads on wheel upright and facilitate effective cornering
Understand steering geometry and which geometry improves cornering performance
Learn how the anti-Ackerman geometry can help peak cornering performance
In this session, we will learn about the various components involved in rear wheel assembly and understand the relationship between power and torque. We will then learn how they influence the optimum gear ratios for racing. Then we will move onto investigating different types of differentials and how they influence handling behavior. Finally, we will learn how to set the length of the fifth link to set bump steer
In this session, we will understand the elements of a braking system and key objectives in brake system design. We will also study the importance of brake balance and how it is achieved. Then we will evaluate loads on the brake pedal and its assembly.
In this module, we will learn to be covering topics that will make us familiar with the chassis structure. Some of the important modules we will learn about include
Design objectives of a racing car structure
Different types of structures like: space-frame, monoque and stressed skin
Loads on the chassis structure
Analysis techniques for the frame
Passive safety structures
How to setup suspension geometry, including ride height, corner weights, camber and toe
The benefits of a data logging system
How to set dampers on track
