Abstract

The objective of this project is to design and fabricate an upright with brake caliper mounting for Formula Varsity race Car. The aim of the project is to reduce the upright weight, reduce number of parts and maintain or gain structural strength. This project undergoes stages such as designing, analysis, fabrication and fitting. During the design stage, CATIA software was used to generate the upright model. Then, the selected design was put through finite element analysis also using CATIA software. After the design passed the analysis stage, the design was the brought to the fabrication stage where 5-axis CNC machine was used to fabricate the upright. Finally after fabrication stage was finished, the upright was then fitted to the Formula Varsity 2010 race car. The new upright able to meets project aims and objective as it was able to withstand the load applied as the factor of safety of the upright is 12.1 after analysis. 55.82 percent of weight reduction achieved and it also able to perform part reduction as it only uses 1 part from 2 parts before.
