Baja Sae Semi-Active Suspension, Cameron Paul Jones, Ethan Jacobi Mikel, Joshua Macguire Wright, Aditya Garg Jun 2023

Baja Sae Semi-Active Suspension, Cameron Paul Jones, Ethan Jacobi Mikel, Joshua Macguire Wright, Aditya Garg

Mechanical Engineering

This document outlines the design and justification for the final design of the Baja SAE Semi-Active Suspension Senior Project. The goal of the project was to build a base valve that can adjust suspension damping rates on the fly. This document details the ideation, design, manufacturing, design verification results, and detailed drawing package for the project. Additionally, this document includes information regarding the pressure drop calculator, O-ring calculations, and CAD. The manufacturing processes used to create the valve and the testing and evaluation of the valve are included as well. Finally, the methods that were used to manage this project …


Torsional Stiffness Of A Race Car, Reiley A. Schraeger, Cameron Kao, Raymond Deng, Omar Roman Mar 2019

Torsional Stiffness Of A Race Car, Reiley A. Schraeger, Cameron Kao, Raymond Deng, Omar Roman

Mechanical Engineering

Torsional stiffness plays a major role in any road vehicle. To understand torsional stiffness of a vehicle and make future iterations and improvements, a proper torsional stiffness jig is required to prove accurate and useful data. This report encompasses the new and improved testing jig and potential improvement ideas for more accurate results. With real data result relating to FEA calculations, designers can be confident in the FEA changes to torsional stiffness is accurate and will yield the probably results they desired. This report shows the methodology, manufacturing process and testing procedure to use on any Baja or SAE vehicle …
