Abstract

The project is an experimental study for the steering wheel of a Formula Varsity Race Car UTeM 2010. The problem identified is the result of vibration on the steering wheel causing discomfort to the driver. Thus, to solve the problem, experiments have been conducted on the steering wheel to analyze the experiment in free-free boundary and the constraint condition. For the experiment in a free-free boundary condition, the steering wheel which is free movement will knock by impact hammer. For the experiments in a constraint condition, steering wheel fix at steering column will knock by impact hammer. For the behaviour of Formula Varsity steering wheel vibration, the analysis of the highest vibration level was conducted in static condition. The natural frequency of the steering wheel UTeM Formula Varsity Race Car 2010 is 160 Hz and the highest vibration level of steering wheel analysis gives over than 2m/s² which are an extremely uncomfortable to the driver. Finally for the conclusion, a lot of new experience and knowledge have gather during the period of time for this project
