Formula Student Wheel Design Using Composite Materials
Jelínek, Josef ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis represents a step for performance improvement of a Formula Student race car monopost of TU Brno Racing team at Brno University of Technology. A detailed research focused on light automotive wheels and suitable materials is only a beginning of this work. Its main part is choosing a light weight wheel concept, creation of a new wheel design and its simulations by finite element method. A deep analysis of vehicle dynamics aims to find the most accurate input data for the simulations. The development of a new wheel is intended to cooperate with the latest monopost generation, Dragon 7. The best choice including the desired material properties is made to use composite materials. A new CAD wheel model had been created. It was recreated into a simulation model and analysed afterwards. The analysis output data are compared to some of the best alternatives among the market and the results confirm this project has a great potential. Therefore the next procedure is projected.

Composite Formula Student Wheel
Jelínek, Josef ; Řehák, Kamil (referee) ; Janoušek, Michal (advisor)
This master thesis represents a step forward in vehicle dynamics of TU Brno Racing Formula Student team from Brno University of Technology monoposts. A detailed research focused on light automotive wheels. Its main part is to design and make a composite wheel for a formula monopost Dragon 9. The wheel design was formed from the rules side, car packaging, forces acting and limits of composite parts production. There’s a collection of CAD documentation of wheel designs, moulds and connected fixtures. The designed moulds for hollow carbon fiber wheels were manufactured. The technology in making of composite wheels is described in detail. Also, the ways of testing the wheel before a straight use on a race car were designed. There are several wheel prototypes made as an outcome of this thesis. The wheel design is reviewed in terms of functionality and manufacturing side of things.
