Abstract

The goal of this project is to design and develop a new chassis which are lightweight than the previous of Formula Student UTeM chassis. This is because weight is the main point that affected the performance of a car. Therefore, a lot of research has been done in order to achieve the main objective of this project. From the research, this can be conclude that the method to reduce weight is by changes the geometry of chassis design and reduce the hollow tubes dimension while the material that are used still same as the previous chassis. However, changes must complying the rules and regulation of competition. The strength also must be equal or greater than the previous. The torsional stiffness value is determined in order to know the stiffness of this chassis. The chassis was later analyses for its structural performance using finite element analysis method to know the critical path and the parts that will give any possible failure effect. As a conclusion, a lot of new experience and knowledge have gather during the period of this project.
