  • CFD and Wind Tunnel Determination of Rear Wing Slot Gaps for 2014 Formula SAE Racecar

    Creator:
    Peterson, Curtis J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to examine the effect of the slot gap spacing on a multi element rear wing. A three element rear wing is used in order to produce maximum downforce at the relatively low speed of Formula SAE competitions. These high lift configurations serve to increase...

  • The Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of an Undertray for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Dang, Victor Q.
    Abstract:
    A student-built lap time simulation coupled with the scoring model of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Series has revealed the major importance of downforce on overall points. As a result, the Global Formula Racing (GFR) team has recently focused much effort towards the development of an aerodynamics package...

  • Ergonomic Analysis of the Global Formula Racing Driver Interface

    Creator:
    Davis, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    Between Oregon State University and DHBW Ravensberg, Global Formula Racing produces two Formula style vehicles every year for competition. This thesis has served as a pre-development project in the ergonomics and driver interface of the team's vehicles. This project will determine the position of the seat back, steering wheel, and...

  • The Design and Development of Custom Rear Brake Calipers for the Oregon State University Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Van Horn, Allison
    Abstract:
    Rear brake calipers are a critical component of the brake system within a vehicle. Brake calipers function by clamping against the brake rotor when the brake pedal is pressed by the driver and thus results in deceleration of the vehicle. This thesis aims to design and develop custom rear brake...

  • Carbon fiber chassis design & testing

    Creator:
    Shannon, Eric
    Abstract:
    OSU’s Global Formula Racing (GFR) team creates two carbon fiber chassis each year, one for combustion engine powered the other electric. These two vehicles compete in SAE sanctioned competitions teams and in order to enter they both have to provide design and testing information to prove the vehicle is safe...

    Creator:
    Coleman Boyd
    Abstract:
    0.1 Purpose of Report During my time on this project, I have written two reports. My SAE22 ePowertrain report details last year's design, the design process, design changes, and manufacturing in extreme detail. The capstone course report will be useful for future students looking to educate themselves on everything that...

  • The Evolution: Electric Vehicles and the End of Oil Addiction

    Creator:
    Donahue, Cory
    Abstract:
    The world is currently using an unsustainable system of meeting its transportation needs with oil. This system is taking a toll on the world environment and on global politics. The physical availability of oil is the system’s most immediate problem and will most likely bring about a transition away from...

  • Chassis Design for the Global Formula Racing Team

    Creator:
    Powell, Zach L.
    Abstract:
    For the 2019 season, a new chassis layup was designed that is much stronger than in previous years, yet only slightly heavier. Compared to the baseline steel tube frame, the 2019 chassis has safety factors of about 110% for most zones. Also, a new impact attenuator was designed that absorbs...

  • Analysis, design, and implementation of a Formula SAE cooling system

    Creator:
    Theroff, Zachary
    Abstract:
    This project consists of the analysis, design, and manufacturing of the 2016 cooling system for Global Formula Racing’s combustion vehicle. Several water configurations were examined, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to estimate airflow and heat transfer calculations in MATLAB to estimate heat rejection through each concept. Data used to perform...
