Abstract

Formula student race car is a developing project to engineering student in purpose to apply their knowledge in race car event. This study is focusing in the development of chassis design which is important part that influences the performance of race car. There is need to study about vehicle dynamics with the aim to develop a great chassis. In this study include the utilization of composite materials that is Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) which has incredibly properties in exceeding the limit of chassis and provide light-weight component. Analysis is done through determination of force acting on the chassis, thus discover the composite structure needed. Then, a concept design is generated and final selection is drawn using CAD software. Next, fabricating process is conducted after determination of manufacturing process of composite component. Discussions of results determine the need for future study to overcome the weaknesses. Recommendation is suggested for improvements in future study.
