Finite Element Analysis of Sevenesque Style Chassis

[eSteve]

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:

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_V2.doc

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.
