Abstract

The Formula Society of Automotive Engineer (SAE) is a student project that involves a complete design and fabrication of carbon fiber suspension push rod for UTeM open wheel formula-style racecar. This thesis will cover the components of the suspension which is push rod. This thesis will include the calculation of load acting on the push rod, the composite laminate analysis and also the new design of the push rod. It also fabricated by using carbon fiber and polyester resin as the composite material. As the carbon fiber is choose as material, the push rod suspension properties such as strength will be increase and reduce the total weight. The tests such as compression test were conducted to determine the strength of push rod suspension when the maximum load is applied. Based on the result, carbon fiber suspension push rod is able to replace and function according to the required specification from the Formula SAE.
