This is a non paying, student level learning opportunity.

If you measure the stiffness of teflon lined spherical bearings or rod ends, used ones will give you more meaningful results. The lining compresses during the first day or two of use, so both...
One of the primary sources of discrepancy between beam element FEA and reality is the fact that the tubes don't actually join at a single point in space, but at the welded perimeter of the joint....
Here is my take on the subject, with supporting data.

AIAA's Design Build Fly competition doesn't quite meet all of those criteria, but it is extremely lightly regulated. The entire rule set can be read in less than 10 minutes.

Here is an example of the things you can learn from IR tire temp sensors:

The surface is where the grip happens, so that's what I'm most...
Do you want to see what a FSAE frame design judge did with the frame of his own race car?

That is one post in a Swift DB-6 build thread....

I'm looking for an experienced FSAE student who is a whiz in both CFD and solid modeling to help me engineer a personal racing project. This assignment requires secrecy during the initial phase, but...

If you plan on a career or a hobby that involves aerodynamics or hydrodynamics of vehicles, there are two books that are pure gold:
Fluid Dynamic Drag by S.F. Hoerner
Fluid Dynamic Lift by S.F....

In my opinion, the aerospace industry is in dire need of engineers who have learned the lessons that FSAE teaches. So, I'm in favor of anything that makes FSAE relevant to aero majors. Of course...
If you are within driving distance of Toronto, come on up for my SAE industrial lecture "The Professional Racer's Approach to Engineering" at the University of Toronto. Here are the details:

Thanks to all who attended my talk at the Armadillo Racing seminar in Tacoma. I hope you enjoyed it and learned a thing or two. I sure did!
I will be one of the presenters at the Armadillo Racing seminar in Tacoma, WA on February 12. This time, my presentation will be tailored to club racers and I will primarily be discussing race car...
If you are within driving distance of San Francisco, come on down to my SAE industrial lecture entitled "The Professional Racer's Approach to Engineering". Here is the date and time:

No, but your FSAE/FH team or college SAE chapter can request one through the SAE web site. The link for that is earlier in this thread.
3M makes a variety of paint replacement films that fill the voids in prepreg enough to produce a water tight composite part. Air-tight sealing is of course harder to do. A monocoat epoxy wipe might...
Thanks to everyone who came to my presentation at Texas A&M, especially those who drove a long way to get there. I really appreciate the excellent turnout.
The presentation was videotaped, and...
Since you are using a zero-roll rear suspension (right?), the torsional stiffness of the chassis is irrelevant for handling. That's why a simple ladder frame works just fine.
Frankly, mechanical...
A beam end release value of zero for all 3 rotational degrees of freedom produces a spherical bearing joint in an FEA model. You will need to do that at every suspension pivot, not just the...
Come on down to Texas A&M for my SAE Industrial Lecture titled "The Professional Racer's Approach to Engineering". Here are the details:
