Rear upright developed for a Formula Student racing car

Abstract

The primary function of the uprights installed in the racing car is to ensure the connection between the A-arm and the wheels. It plays a significant role in increasing the performance and improving the ride properties of the car. The CAD model of the upright was designed taking into consideration the geometry of the chassis and the loads it will be exposed to. The analysis of the component and its topological examination were carried out in the mechanical module of the ANSYS program.
