15 minsDefining monocoque, unibody, space frameall
  • Monocoque only has shell for structure
  • Unibody has a frame that attaches to a shell
  • Space frame is only frame, shell is redundant structurally
 9:20-9:46pros and cons of unibody and space frame 

Manufacturability - space frame is better. focus was on repair ability

Sponsor- roll cage sponsor is potential. Textreme helped for composites but we would need much more

FEA - Unibody is hard to track stress points as opposed to space frame. As well composites are harder to be accurate with to a CAD model. As well composites are very brittle.

Weight - composites are lighter ideally, but space frame is more reliable (WSC is how efficient, not how far)

  • consider getting welding station
  • lauren knows people who may be able to give lessons
