Problem

Problem Statement

Build a lightweight, yet robust chassis that can safely support 4 occupants in normal driving conditions and in the event of a crash as well as provide hard mounting points for all of the systems required in the car

Goals 

Occupant safety is the number one priority in designing this vehicle's chassis so roll over protection and impact protection structures must be incorporated into the design.

To reduce the power consumption of the vehicle, we must also keep the chassis as lightweight as possible.

Constraints Regulations 

Load cases: 5*9.81*Mass of car (N) force applied to vehicle from different angles of attack (to simulate a real crash)

Crush Zone: 150 mm wide crush zone on the side of each occupant.

Impact Energy Absorption: 

Criteria 

Safety factor of 2 for all major parts of the chassis.
