This project aims to drive the vehicle mechanical design with focus (but not limited to) on the front and rear suspension subject to the design goals and system level requirements from (i.e. how to design a suspension for steer-by-wire vehicle). These attributes would be bump/roll steer, camber gain, camber/kingpin inclination angles etc. that will meet the goals of the vehicle dynamics attributes. The thesis will derive the hardpoints and design the components that meet the attributes as goals and expected suspension loads. The loads will be derived from instrumenting and testing the 2023 FStuc vehicle using accelerometers and strain gauges (thus it includes instrumentation, measurement, analysis and coding). Ideally, the components will be benchmarked against suspension components designed using generative AI and will assess optimal vs feasible (due to manufacturing). End goal is: a) deliver the front and rear suspension components in time for the 2024 FStuc vehicle, designed using Systems engineering principles and b) a technical report that describes the methodology aiming to be published. It is expected that the assigned student will collaborate with other team members both generating the attributes as-well-as designing the parts (the suspension) and supervise their work so that it all integrates together.
