FORMULA SAE MICHIGAN
2015 SAE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Dear Formula SAE Participants and Organizers:
Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International

Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.
Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now in its 34th year,
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 several 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 earn top honors, others will not.
But all will leave here winners because they will be better engineering
students.
Good luck to everyone competing in this event. The experiences you gain
this week will last throughout your lives. Also, I want to thank everyone
for their hard work, support and participation; its because of you that this
competition is such a success.
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard W. Greaves

President, SAE International

Sponsors...................... C3 engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended
sales market is the nonprofessional weekend competitor. Therefore, the car must have very high
performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low
in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the cars marketability is enhanced by other
factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning
to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run. The challenge to the design team is
to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each design will
be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car.
Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events
including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, engineering design, solo performance
trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well
the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable
performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.
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 engineer-
ing 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 fol-
low the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objec-
tive 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 teams ability to develop and deliver a compre-
hensive business case that will convince the executives of a fictional manufacturing firm that
the teams design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend competition market and
that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed.

package into other systems. Many changes were also made to increase the
serviceability, packaging and overall ergonomics of the vehicle as a whole. Its main features focus on packaging and lightness. A 25kg weight reduction from
the previous prototype ensured a significant improvement in performance in track.
In remembrance of Khalil Mohmed.
Our freedom in the ECU software and a reliable Powertrain system result in
a great acceleration and driveability in parallel with a suspension accurately
adjusted. The implementation of high-tech materials such as HSLA steel helps us
to produce a high competitive level car with only 197kg.
We would like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom none of this would be
possible. The support from the university and family was and will be always es-
sential to our achievements as well.

NR15 features a full spaceframe chassis intended to reduce build and mainte-

weight to our previous monocoque designs. Also new for 2015 is our powerplant.
We have made the switch to a Yamaha Genesis 80Fi out of a Phazer Snowmobile.
We made the jump to the Genesis due to its integrated CVT which was chosen for
its aid to drivability.

ing on almost 30 years of Mizzou Formula SAE history, we have designed a car
that champions reliability and drivability, while also embracing creativity and
innovation, testing our engineering limits. Sarting with the bullet-proof Honda CBR
600RR, we have produced a formidable power train that reliably produces a sup-
ply of relentless bur controllable power. We also focused heavily on putting that
power to use. The use of Hoosier tires demands that our suspension be highly
optimized to squeeze out every last bit of performance, so a premium was placed
on maintaining optimum camber angles, and reducing tire load fluctuation.

The 2015 Old Dominion University vehicle was based on the successful 2014
car with incremental improvements. These changes include a revised suspension
design and the switch from a one to two rear brake setup for increased handling
performance and stopping power. More emphasis was put on aerodynamics, with
a SolidWorks FloXpress designed diffuser, side pods, and nosecone. The intake
was redesigned in step with the throttle body for improved flow performance.
Testing was once again a priority, with ample time given to prove reliability while
increasing driver performance. The combination of these changes provide Old
Dominion with a more competitive vehicle for the 2015 competition.

In the FSAE competition, the most important thing is to demonstrate vehicle

performance through highly tuned driver-vehicle harmonies. In order to achieve
this target, firstly, we have developed this years vehicle emphasizing durabil-
ity enhancement with fundamental concept of solid frame. Secondly, we further
refined our engineering to maximize the responsiveness, accuracy and weight
reduction. Finally, after the completion of the base vehicle, we locally mimicked
a FSAE track and test run the vehicle with our drivers to measure lab times with
various settings of engine mapping, suspension, brake and gear shift strategy and
more. Over the last few years, we have done this tuning process with solely based
on the drivers subjective feedbacks. But in this year, we have massively employed
the use of sensors to obtain the objectively measured data from the sensors and
data acquisition systems and ultimately to fine-tune the vehicle and the driver
harmonies. With the current vehicle that has the maximized performance through
the driver-mechanic-vehicle harmonies, we strongly believe that our car will
dominate this years FSAE racing event.

Our frame is a derivative of a platform that started in 2011, constructed of 4130
chromoly with bonded carbon fiber structural panels. The powerplant is a Yamaha
R6. All suspension components were refined for a total weight reduction of over
15lbs. The rear suspension has been changed to pushrod style in favor of pack-

carbon fiber for improved high end power and reduced weight.

to accommodate the driver in different conditions. One more thing is that in gen-
eral, the fabrication of the vehicle is fairly simple and not very expensive. A 500cc Yamaha Phazer snowmobile engine was donated for the 2015 SCSU
formula car. The Phazer is fuel injected and liquid cooled, and it came with the
CVT and oil cooler. For FSAE competition, a 20mm restrictor is required to pull air
through in the intake.
This years frame has a flat bottom, avoiding excessive bottoming that occurred in
previous cars. A disadvantage to having a flat bottom is the clearance of uneven
ground, but the FSAE track is primarily level. Also the frame design simplifies
manufacturing. The frame was constructed using 1 OD, 0.109 wall 1020 steel
tubing.
The suspension was redesign to keep all damping force tangential to the rotation
axis, which eliminates unnecessary bearing loads and increases the durability of
the bell crank rockers. Also Fox VANRC coil over shocks were used.

simple with reliability being a driving factor. This car is built to excel in long races
where the durability of other vehicles typically fails. If a car cannot finish a race, it
cannot win.
Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, several larger components of the car
such as the chassis and several suspension pieces were used from a few other
universities who helped us along with the design process. This allowed us to gain
valuable insight as to how a general FSAE car is put together and its basic func-
tions. This also sped up the design process while allowing us to spend more time
on the build and acquiring shop skills. This was especially important because not
a single person on our team has any SAE experience.

team worked to improve the packaging of the vehicle by going with a steel-tube
chassis, instead of a monocoque, which allows for quick access to all systems,
cost savings, and sufficient space to service and maintain the vehicle. To further
simplify packaging and refine the wiring in the vehicle, a Controller Area Network
(CAN) system was added, allowing communication between the front and rear of
the vehicle with only two wires. The design maintained the common objective to
build a reliable vehicle by taking advantage of in-house manufacturing for easily
replaceable parts. The result of the design efforts of undergraduate and graduate
students work is Embry-Riddles first Formula SAE vehicle.

We have developed our first aero package for the 2015 Michigan competition.
This aero-package is one of the key design changes to our 2nd year car. Technical
improvements were made such as the redesigned Torsen T1 differential, a fresh

learning platforms to address and improve the drivability and reliability. While all
major changes were developed to increase the overall performance of the car, the
