Advanced Quasi-Isotropic Carbon Fiber Layup Techniques


The project involves the application of advanced quasi-isotropic carbon fiber layup techniques to enhance structural performance and reduce weight in critical vehicle components like the intake plenum and the monocoque.
For the intake plenum, these techniques provide excellent stiffness-to-weight ratios, ensuring improved airflow and thermal stability while maintaining a lightweight design. The result is a more responsive and efficient engine system.
In the monocoque design, the use of quasi-isotropic layups allows for uniform strength and stiffness across multiple directions, optimizing crash safety, torsional rigidity, and vehicle dynamics. Additionally, precision mold techniques are employed to ensure seamless integration and minimal material waste.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and rigorous testing validate the performance of these components, ensuring they meet the demanding standards of Formula SAE competitions.
