Design and Analysis of a Hybrid Composite-Steel Frame Chassis for a Small Racecar

This dissertation includes an overview of the Final Year project. The title is “Design and
Analysis of a Hybrid Composite-Steel Frame Chassis for a Small Race-car” this project
will collaborate with the Formula SAE competition. This dissertation contains the
objective of the project, scope of the study and problem statement. There is also a
methodology part which is will explain about the step and method during designing and
analysis the chassis. Beside, this dissertation also provides a literature review that’s
consisting of the previous work or project done by other personnel that have similarity
with the project proposed and also contain information and theory about the project and
done by collecting it from various sources available such as journal, book and internet.
The chassis was going through the side impact and longitudinal stiffness analysis as it
result the improvement from the previous chassis design.
The goal of this project is to design and analysis a new hybrid composite –steel frame
chassis. The idea is to design a monocoque chassis that optimize the chassis strengthmass
ratio. This design also will be limited to Formula SAE rules.
