All the above goals were reached well below the maximum threshold. Read on to see how:) The most interesting aspect of the kinematic optimization I experienced was the optimization of bump steer characteristics in the presence of Anti-squat, Anti-dive and…

With the reaction forces obtained from the analysis above, component-wise design commenced. In the case of the two brackets, it is apparent that one bracket will be loaded more than the other in the instance of cornering.

The above design were particularly heavy & I believed we could obtain a better solution. Analyzing commercial car chassis, I was inspired to proceed with a design reinforced with ‘bend’s. The final design was only half the thickness of the…
