Projects
Project 1 Final Year University Project: Dynamics of a 1954 Indycar
Period of time 01/2015 – 06/2015
Role Vehicle Dynamics Engineer
Responsibilities
Analysis of default vehicle handling performance;
Analysis of different possible solutions for influencing vehicle handling;
Simulation of vehicle behavior with different settings;
Application of developed solutions onto the vehicle;
Vehicle testing and model validation;
Technologies: Matlab/Simulink; Solidworks 2014; Damper Test Rig
Distinctive features:
Vehicle behavior knowledge limited to driver feedback – issue tackled by analyzing vehicle simulations with the driver;
Timescale constrained due to external manufacturers for necessary components (US).
Only two days of track testing available throughout the project.
Component failure during test day prevented data acquisition.
Alternative method developed on the track to acquire necessary data
Both testing days provided limited data due to vehicle drivetrain failures, providing minimal data to work with;
Project 2 Group Business and Design: Formula Student Electric Powertrain for Team Bath Racing;
Period of time 01/2014 – 06/2014
Role Business role: Marketing manager;
Technical role: Vehicle Dynamics Engineer;
Responsibilities:
Business:
Finding and evaluating potential competition;
Analysis of current products on the market;
Technical:
Analysis of default vehicle handling performance based on team data and CAD models;
Re-evaluation of vehicle mass center change due to different powertrain and effect on vehicle dynamics;
Re-evaluation of the suspension of the vehicle;
Vehicle dynamics simulation;
Evaluating necessary components and design for an electric split axle go-kart prototype;
Prototype build supervisor;
Technologies
Matlab/Simulink; Solidworks 2014;
Distinctive features:
Project was split into 2 different timescales: Business and Technical.
Due to the university not having any previous experience with electric powertrains a prototype kart has been started with a split axle to allow torque vectoring of the motors. This prototype vehicle was handed over to the following year students for further research.
