Collaboration on the development of a new model of student formula

A team of students at TU Brno Racing at the Brno University of Technology on April 28 introduced a new student formulas, which during the summer plans to complete international competitions within the Formula Student competition in Hungary, Germany and the Czech Republic. This year, he decided to hit the carcass significantly when the carbon steel monococcus replaced the tubular steel frame. This self-supporting system, standardly used in Formula 1 cars, gives the vehicle a higher torsional stiffness that affects the stability of the entire car. The car is also completely resolved to complete wheel suspension using carbon fiber tubes. This type of suspension gives you mass saving and also greater wheel suspension accuracy.

Our CT Laboratory cooperates on the development of these composite parts in the form of a non-destructive analysis of bonded joints between the composite material and the aluminum end cap. These analyzes are applied to the individual parts before and after the dynamic tests in order to evaluate the condition of the internal structure of the joints after loading. In this way, both the technological process of pipe production and the defective parts are eliminated. These tests increase the reliability and safety of the entire car.
