You mean build a racecar monocoque the same way they have been building airplane monocoques for decades? BLASPHEME!

for posting the matlab code you might find the following BBCodes to be useful, {code} and {/code} (where you replace the braces {} with brackets [] ). it keeps the software from trying to get too...
a common bearing size for 'production' racing chain drive diffs (TRE, WRD, ICP) is the 6013 (65mm x 100mm x 18mm). It seems like you're in the right area for a conservative estimate.
that distance is in reference to the driver swap day course, not the competition endurance course.
I suspect the OP might be trying to say that the outer ball joint is rearward of both inner ball joints.
I'm pretty sure that is a miata not a vette/camaro.
translation: penske isn't paying enough to attract the quality of engineers they want to employ.
there are plenty of good engineers being produced in the US, they just don't want to work 100+ hour...
the undertray/tunnels are the longitudinal z-bars. you can see the central pivot and lltd adjustment method in this shot.

there is no problem with running an electric FSAE car at an SCCA event (even nationals) so long as it conforms to the FSAE rules.
It's unlikely at this time that you'll get an electric-only...
the rules require that the suspension be capable of 50mm of suspension travel, they do not require you to use any of it during the event.
looks like his steer angle is of the steering wheel and your steer angle is the angle of the front tires. so his alphaf does in fact equal -delta at the instant of step steer input, it's just much...
the rear wing is so high chasing max df. we're trying to get as much of the wing in ground effect as possible which leads to a very front biased CP without the rear wing so high. we'd have to push...
I'm dying to see what this revolutionary aero design is.
I've got pretty good data on something like this:

how many times are you guys going to post this?
How does one get in touch with you?
also, i don't see this unit having a discreet 50/50 torque split state. there is no geared interconnection between any of the parts. if you lose the clamp load you lose the connection between the...
I disagree with it (at least the version shown in the patent) only having discreet locked and unlocked states. you have the rollers acting as wedges in between the driving and driven elements. as...
spring loaded sprague, like this?

anyone notice this thread spawned an article in the latest issue of racecar engineering (dec'12).
Found a lot of excellent photos, not taken by me.
