ANALYSIS OF SPACE FRAME OF FORMULA SAE AT HIGH SPEED WITH ERGONOMIC AND VIBRATIONAL FACTORS

This paper introduces a design and analysis methodology of space frame chassis in the context of ending new and innovative design principle by means of optimization techniques. The design is according to the Formula SAE International rule book. Our paper emphasis on the driver safety, ergonomics of the driver according to the rule book in which we calculate the critical conditions of the race track, emphasis on the vehicle head on collision, rear impact test, torsional rigidity test, vibrational analysis of roll cage (space frame chassis) and side impact to make that chassis under the design limits and having the factor of safety 1-2.5 having a material of chromoly 4130 which is selected as an optimum material for design.
