  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • HV Battery Cooling

    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 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...

  • 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...

  • Turning Brake Cylinder Housing

    Creator:
    Radcliffe, Noah
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to assist the OSU Baja Racing vehicle in turning more sharply. This is done using a turning brake, which locks one rear wheel to facilitate turning on a smaller radius. This project focuses on the development of a custom cylinder housing for the turning...

  • Innovative Rear Wing Design Research for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Lukacovic, Kyle S.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project is to research an innovative rear wing design for Formula SAE and determine if the concept could be beneficial for automotive racing purposes. The research consists of three steps. First, sensitivity analyses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were performed on multiple configurations. Next an...

  • 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...
