Finite Element Analysis of Sevenesque Style Chassis
Morning,
found some reports on FEA of some Sevenesque style chassis whilest stumbling about the Internet. They are on the Locost7 info site's in the chassis section: www.Locost7.info On this page see the links to (they will open the documents in Word): Final Thesis A.doc Final Thesis B.doc by Wesley Linton (MSC Thesis - Cranfield University) kitcaranalysis.doc kitcaranalysis_V2.doc by Unknown Both deal with Sevenesque style chassis carrying out some FEA work on improving their stiffness. The work by Linton deals with a Leugo chassis and some work was carried out to align the model with experimental data. The other work is based on a Locost chassis. They both make interesting reading. |

Over on Locost Builders someone did some FEA & came up with a few simple mods that would be beneficial to the overall design - busy at mo but will see if I can dig around later

I agree with Kev, far too heavy for me.
The best mod i can see is to consider making the chassis from 2mm wall section box rather than the 1.6mm. Doesn't seem like a lot, extra 8kg, but it makes the chassis a lot stiffer and stronger. Add some additional cross bracing around the engine bay and you have a very stiff chassis. Just my thoughts.....AndyH

Ah, should have viewed your links first - the link to 'kitcaranalysys_V2.doc' is what I was referring to...

I,ve just started reading the attached links, maybe I,m the odd one out but that is quite interesting reading
I,ve saved it & will be reading it in more depth later....when kids are not wanting my attention cheers andy |

Go to 3GE 's website Les,copy the chassis pic and and make it larger you will see the brackets for the rocker arms fitted to it.
