Trucaje y Adaptación de un Sistema de Suspensión y Dirección para un Vehículo Tipo Buggy de la Fórmula Automovilísticas Universitaria FAU.

Abstract

The present thesis is base on the Trick Photography, Adaptation and Construction of the Suspension and Steering System for a Buggy-Type Vehicle of the University Automobile Formula (FAU). It meets all the norms imposed by the participant universities, a good knowledge of them being essential not only for the jury approval but also to obtain an optimum relationship between ergonomy, weight, resistance, economy and efficiency so as to obtain a good vehicle behavior. The suspension system consists of independent suspension of deformable parallelogram for the front and rear axes. The steering system has been studied geometrically so as not to have any angle variation of the tire fall with the vertical running of the suspension. It is composed of a pinion-and rack steering system. The simulation of the suspension and steering movements of the vehicle were synthesized using geometrical and analytic methods. The suspension system results was a fall angle variation of 1º which does not have any repercussion on the capacity of maneuver, maintaining the vehicle steering stability. It is recommended to carry out functioning analysis studies of the systems through procedures of finite element decomposition to test the service cycles supported by the pieces conforming the suspension and steering system.
