  1. 1. Optimizing a Steering System for a KTH Formula Student Race car

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Carl Elgcrona; Emil Nordahl; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a steering controller for aFormula Student driverless electric vehicle to enhance its performance and efficiency. By creatinga testing setup and testing scripts, the controller's sensitivity to various CAN bus parameters, suchas periodicity and message priority, could be assessed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Methods and Purposes of Aerodynamic Correlation in Formula Student

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Alix Le Bastard; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates how methods of aerodynamic validation can assist a formula student team in designing their aerodynamic package. When de- signing their aerodynamic components, formula student team mostly rely on CFD software simulations, but there is no guarantee that the simulations de- pict properly the physical behaviour of the airflow around the car.

  4. 3. Formula Student Car Stability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Oliver Belfiore; [2023]
    Keywords : Racing; Car; Vehicle; dynamics; vehicle dynamics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of varying passive components on the stability of a Formula Student race car. The study was conducted using a 7-post model and a lateral model, both of which were derived using Lagrangian methods and state-space modelling techniques. These models were then validated and adjusted using logged data. READ MORE

  5. 4. A final drive device for torque vectoring in small racing cars

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Sven Kalkan; [2023]
    Keywords : Torque vectoring; differential; formula student; racecar; racing; BorgWarner; product development; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The agility of the car can be improved by distributing the longitudinal tire forces unevenly between the wheels. The resulting yaw moment helps the car to steer in transient driving scenarios, like on a slalom course. The available grip in steady state cornering can also be increased along with stability.

  6. 5. Aerodynamic Concept Evaluation of Formula Student Side Structure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gabriel Ågren; [2023]
    Keywords : Formula Student; KTH Formula Student; race car aerodynamics; CFD; Multi-element wing;

    Abstract : Formula Student is a global engineering competition where university students collaborate to design, construct, and race formula-style cars. Aerodynamics is one aspect in the vehicle design that can improve on-track performance by increasing cornering and straight-line speed. READ MORE
