2011 SAE President’s Message

Dear Formula SAE Participants and Organizers:

Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at the Auto Club Speedway in

Fontana, Calif.

Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now more than 30

years old, Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems

engineering, design and problem solving, along with the teaming

challenges of collaboration and cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along

with all of the SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions, provides the

skills and experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education.

In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of

competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from many

different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events

designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork

skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first

place, others will not. But all will leave here a winner because they will be

better engineering students.

Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank

everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation.

The experiences and the learning that you gain this weekend will last

throughout your lives.

Sincerely,









Richard E. Kleine, EdD

2011 President

Concept of the Competition



T

he Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate

tablE oF contEntS: and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula

Key Players.................... 40 terms of its acceleration, braking and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to

maintain and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as

aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts.

The challenge to the design team is to design and fabricate a prototype that best meets

these goals and intents. Over the course of a three day competition, a jury of experts from the

motorsports, automotive and supplier industries judge the design, cost and business planning

of all the teams to determine the best team and vehicle; in addition the team’s on-track

performance scores will demonstrate how well they hold up under real life conditions.

A series of events (static and dynamic) reflect all the aspects that teams have to be keeping in

mind while designing and manufacturing their vehicle.

Static EvEntS

design report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from

the automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the

design is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how

the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of

engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team

members will win the design event.

cost report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will

follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The

objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing

techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase

rather than fabricate themselves.

presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and deliver a

comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a fake manufacturing

firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend autocross

racing market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed.



dynamic EvEntS

acceleration: The race cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a standing

start over a distance of 75 meters.

autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities

on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the

performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering into one event. The results of

the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance.

Skidpad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while

making a constant-radius turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of

the number 8; the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g).

Endurance: Over a distance of 1.1 miles the cars have to prove their durability under long-

term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel economy, reliability – the

cars have to prove it all.

university of alberta Formula SaE mit motorsports









The 2011 University of Alberta Formula SAE Team strived to design a reliable

prototype of an open wheel racecar for the weekend autocross market. Emphasis

was placed on manufacturability of components to reduce the time required to

produce individual components as well as assemble the entire car. A steel space

frame was used in conjunction with unequal length double A-arm suspension

activated by pushrods. Hoosier 20.5 x 7.0-13 tires were chosen to hold the

car to the pavement. Aluminum hubs and uprights were used in an effort to

reduce unsprung mass. Tilton 77 series master cylinders mounted vertically

provide pressure for Wilwood calipers to clamp on three floating rotors. A Honda

CBR600F4i with carbon intake and 4-2-1 exhaust propels the car through a

hanging Quaife differential and 4340 steel half shafts.



We would like to thank all of our sponsors and Faculty advisor for making another

season of racing possible. For more details please see our website: http://www.

and drivability.  increased airflow over the encapsulated drivetrain, thus combating two inherent

challenges of the monocoque chassis. A 4130 steel crossbrace regains the

rigidity sacrificed for the aforementioned gains.



The monocoque is supported by a non-parallel, unequal length double A-arm

suspension. Pullrods transfer wheel motion via bellcranks to Penske quarter-

midget dampers, while dual anti-roll bars provide increased roll stiffness.

Unsprung mass is minimized by means of magnesium uprights and wheels.



Power reaches the Hoosier rubber through 4340 driveshafts propagating from a

custom 7075 aluminum housed Torsen T2 differential. At the heart of the vehicle

is a Yamaha WR450 single cylinder, 5 valvemotor. Entering air travels through a

delrin restrictor and composite plenum, and exits through a titanium exhaust and

custom aluminum muffler. Along this route, injected fuel is directed by a Vipec

V44 ECU.

powered by a new Aprilia V-twin engine, helping the car achieve a weight saving

of over 30kg compared to its predecessors. Extensive engine simulation and

dyno testing has resulted in increased torque at lower engine speeds and a flatter

manufactured . The secondary goal of this year’s effort was for the car to be great

starting point for subsequent years’ teams to improve upon. In doing so, it allows

future years to focus design on certain areas where improvements can be easily

implemented, rather than redesigning an entire car from scratch. An iterative

process was established where reliable and durable designs were developed and

refined using peer and faculty reviews. Efforts were taken to minimize part count

and increase simplicity, while still incorporating a high level of adjustability, and

maintaining ease of maintenance and repair. Additionally, targets were also set for

weight and performance in attempts to be competitive in the dynamic events of

the FSAE West competition.

triton racing viking motorsports









TR-11 (for Triton Racing ‘11) was built on a new design philosophy

centering around the use of a single cylinder Yamaha WR450F power plant

and 10in diameter Avon tires. These parameters allow the entire vehicle to

become significantly smaller and lighter than the more common four cylinder

and 13in wheel design previously used. Significant work has been put into

exploiting this advantage while still producing comparable amounts of power

from the engine. Power improvements come by means of a belt driven Eaton

M24 roots type supercharger, while weight reduction has been the result of the

use of finite element optimization software and materials selection for fabricated

components. The utilization of fundamental engineering concepts to design the

main subsystems of the vehicle including outboard assemblies, power train,

drive train, and dampers have resulted in a compact, low vehicle with a desirable

power to weight ratio, and exceptional handling and stability for auto-cross tracks.

The 2011 University of Hartford team is comprised of nine extremely dedicated

individuals, who have spent endless hours designing and fabricating our 2011

car. Our team has drawn upon our team’s heritage to maintain our car’s build

quality while continually building upon our previous designs to create a more

advanced car every year. 



For 2011 the University of Hartford team has identified our engine as one of the

area’s most needing improvement on our car. Hoping to build upon our previously

successful suspension design the team has chosen to fuel inject our YFZ450 for

the first time in three years. 



Going into the 2011 Formula SAE west competition the University of Hartford

team is optimistic, and hopes to improve upon our previous showings to have our

most successful year to date.

Intake: Flow restriction is created in a converging/diverging nozzle is due to flow

detachment after the throat. The parasitic loss resulting from flow detachment

after the restrictor was minimized by reducing the angle of expansion to seven

degree half angles. To minimize turbulent flow in the intake, a straight flow

path from the air filter to the plenum was chosen. The minimized angle of

expansion resulted in an increased restrictor length. Plenum: To optimize engine

performance, a plenum which was five times the displacement of the engine was

fabricated. This plenum size offers sufficient volume to achieve high horsepower,

but is not so large that it hinders throttle response or lags the engine during

equilibration after throttle position changes. This process takes time and is

determined by the restriction of the intake, causing throttle response lag. Intake

Runner: Due to the high cost and difficulty associated with re-tuning an engine for

optimal performance in a modified power band, the car was geared so the engine

could remain at higher RPM under normal operating conditions. The length of

9.65 inches was chosen to tune the intake for 7000 RPM.

systems. Coupled with carbon fiber bodywork, the full aerodynamics package

improves cornering speeds and overall appearance of the car.



The basis of the vehicle powertrain revolves around the Honda CBR600 F4i

engine due to its excellent reliability and performance. A brand new SLS intake

manifold was designed to minimize turbulent flow within the plenum while

maintaining even flow to all cylinders.



Several leaps and bounds have been taken in our electronics system, including

the use of a student-designed steering wheel and live telemetry system. The

steering wheel is capable of displaying relevant vehicle data and contains

switchgear to alter parameters on the fly.

racer-friendly, competitive (performance and cost), and easily maintainable car. CBR600RR 4 cylinder engine, factory Honda gearbox, 4130 steel spaceframe.

Our main design goals were: obtain a low CG, reducing weight, and maintaining

reliability. While developing the M-11, we took into account, ease of handling

predictability, driver interface, ergonomics and ease of maintenance. This process

took into account many research methods such as CFD, Lotus Suspension, and

applied testing. To emphasize on performance, the lightweight Aprilia 450 engine

was selected. To reduce cost to the consumer, pre-manufactured parts were

considered into the design; this allows the consumer to find readily available parts

at prices they can afford. The M-11 is an affordable, yet accessible vehicle that

racers will enjoy.
