ANTI-ROLL BAR DESIGN FOR A FORMULA SAE VEHICLE SUSPENSION

Abstract

This work outlines the development and analysis of an anti-roll bar system vehicle carried out by James Cook University. A detailed design phase was completed, clearly showing all stages of the design approach from the initial proposed design to the final design. Several analysis strategies are used throughout the report including weld calculations and FEA modelling. These calculations led to design changes impacting the final recommended system. This report demonstrates compliance with all Formula SAE rules regarding anti-roll bar systems.
