Abstract

The aim of this project is to produce a new engine mounting UTeM formula style race car. This project also generated according to the existing engine mounting based on Formula Varsity 2010 race car. In this project CATIA V5 was used software to create drawings and engine mounting formation in modeling 3-dimensional (3D). In the meantime, the selection of materials was performed using CES 2010 Edupack software Aluminum Alloy 6061 T6 for rear mounting bracket and additional brackets and Aluminum Alloy 6063 T6 front of mounting bracket was selected for the project. Further analysis of the project was carried out with two methods of computation to obtain the load at each point on mounting components and then using CATIA V5 generative structural analysis workbench to analyze the component mounting engine. The CNC milling machines was used to produce the front mounting bracket and additional brackets and used EDM Wire Cut machine was used to produce the rear mounting bracket. Finally, the overall weight of fabricated new engine mounting was found to be 1.334 kg which is lighter compared to weight of previous engine mounting which was 2.395 kg. In conclusion, with a selection of lighter and stronger material this research was able achieve the objective with the accomplishment of the total overall weight of new engine mounting to be reduced by 44 percent compared to the previous engine mounting design.
