Organization

*

The subdivision's spectrum of tasks mainly are team internal organization and external representation as well as social media. These include the maintenance of the communication platform, the design and planning of team clothing and the organization of the rollout and Fomula Student events. Besides that, the subdivision is responsible for creative tasks like designing a team portfolio photography and filmmaking.

Elektronics & Driverless

*

The subdivision electronics covers a wide range of tasks. This includes the design and construction of the high-voltage accumulator and the corresponding safety electronics. On the other hand, printable circuit boards and circuit layouts for control units are designed and manufactured. In addition, the subdivision evaluates the vehicle-specific data which is collected during driving. For that, high-precision sensors and fast BUS-systems are required to manage the amount of data. For data communication, a wire harness is developed, designed, and manufactured. Everything to do with autonomous driving is also taken care of here. This includes the structure of the sensor system, the actuators, and the data processing.

Suspension & Drivetrain

*

The subdivision suspension deals with the connection of the chassis to the track. First of all, the vehicle dynamics and transferred forces are determined by the tires, but mass and stiffness of the wheel assembly or damping behavior have a major influence, too. Kinematics enables, according to the vehicle’s position, an ideal position of the tyre to the track in order to transfer maximum possible forces. The duty of the mechanical drivetrain is to transmit the torque of the motors into propulsion with high effectiveness. For that, highly efficient gear components have to be developed in order to reduce rotating and unsprung masses. Another task is the cooling of the power electronics and motors.

Chassis & Aerodynamics

*

A complete CFRP monocoque will be used for the first time in the RT15. The extremely lightweight yet rigid sandwich structure forms a solid and lightweight basic structure for our racing car. Our versatile frame module deals with this as well as the ergonomics including the pedals, the battery container and the mechanical safety-relevant components specified in the regulations. The members work closely with the drivers to adapt the seat to them in the best possible way, for example. Many of the material tests prescribed in the regulations, such as a drop tower test, and calculations are also carried out and evaluated.
An aerodynamics package with a focus on maximum downforce is developed using CFD-simulations. Further development targets are high efficiencies for downforce-to-drag and downforce-to-package weight.

Simulation

*

Subdivision simulation supports all designing subdivisions during the dimensioning process. Using numeric simulations, the strength of each component can be calculated with stress analysis. Another field is topology optimization in order to improve weight and stiffness.
