Design And Optimization of Wheel Assembly of F1 Car

Abstract

The Wheel Assembly is the portion of a Formula Student Car or any car that connects the main structure of the body to the wheels using suspension arms. It's a part of the Final Drive as well. The steering system's wheel hub assembly is an important component. It keeps your wheel fixed to the car while also allowing it to turn freely. The wheel hub assembly is responsible for housing the wheel bearings and is placed in the centre of each wheel. The engine is the driving force of combustion automobiles. Each component plays an important role; the gearbox controls speed and torque, while the differential controls the power difference between the wheels. In the case of electric automobiles, however, these systems would be altered. Servo motors utilized for power generation would provide direct access to power reductions and modifications. Apart from these transmission systems, a few others, such as the steering and suspension systems, as well as the wheel assembly system, can be made permanent. The goal of the project is to complete the mechanical wheel assembly system for the F1 car in a costeffective, light-weight, and efficient manner. It is critical in the automobile industry to manufacture light weight assemblies in order to improve vehicle performance. During dynamic situations, several forces are exerted directly during braking, accelerating, and bump conditions. As a result, this study is concerned with the calculation and simulation of diverse loads. According to the FEA results, the upright assembly is capable of performing safely in real-world track conditions while meeting performance requirements.
