Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses
FSAE is an international student design competition held by SAE International where students design, build and compete in static events like cost, design and dynamic events ranging from acceleration, autocross to endurance. UTA Racing has been a part of FSAE since 1982 and have been using a mechanical design for their shifter and clutch since then. This year for the 2017 design competition an electro-pneumatic system is developed to replace the mechanical system. This system consists of pneumatic cylinders controlling a sequential shifter and a servo clutch. The cylinders are controlled using direction control valves, these receive their signals from …
