Design and analysis of wheel assembly and anti-roll bar for formula SAE vehicle

Abstract This paper aims to present the design procedure of the components of the wheel assembly and anti-roll bar of a Formula Student vehicle. For the components, the forces acting and the materials used are discussed. The CAD models are made using SolidWorks® and finite element analysis is done using ANSYS® Workbench. The designs are then optimized for weight reduction. Various design considerations are discussed and the results for the finite element analysis have been presented for validation of the safety of the designs. This work puts emphasis on the design and analysis of the components for the formula student vehicle.
