Abstract

Formula Bharat is a student engineering competition held in India.The competition consists of several tasks to be performed by the vehicle which includes design evaluation, acceleration test, Autocross, Skid-pad, Endurance, Fuel Economy, Cost Presentation and Business Plan Presentation. The steering is mainly designed for hairpin turns in race course track, which is the sharpest turn of 3.5m. the objective of research was to minimize steering effort and turning radius of the vehicle. These objectives were achieved by getting optimum angles of tire from Ackerman geometry in consideration of rulebook. The crucial part in designing of steering system is force analysis and calculations. Turning radius, gear ratio, steering torque, are completely dependent on lateral force. The role of suspension ICR geometry and various angles like caster camber KPI helps you understand dynamics of vehicle. CAD and CAE software’s like Solid Works, ANSYS, Lotus-shark are some supportive design tools to design and simulate virtually. The sitting build, test and race with their formula style racing car, position and steering wheel position must be designed and positioned according to ergonomics of driver.
