Intro to Racecar Engineering: 04 Chassis Design

Smitty describes the design principles for the chassis of a race car. This is the fourth in the series of videos developed for UCI's racecar engineering program. (Smitty and the Professor series)

That's true: in engineering classrooms we rarely have this kind of excellent information, and the presentation is excellent, it worth more than hours of mathematics & formulas By the way, the newest design tools have a great focus in "topology optimization"... that's why is explained here. Thank you very much!

[@VexChoccyMilk]

This is literally the best, most engaging lesson I have ever had; what a space frame is, how it works, and the visualization of how it is applied!

[@igoriosalamonqe4706]

This is excellent, we need this in schools!!!

[@Ilham-oj6zf]

Lu sekolah di stm?

[@yashaswisharma9064]

I'm crying right now, this was magnificent.

[@ethanventresca6485]

I need to show this to my students. And by students, I mean friends. And by friends, I mean dogs. And by dogs, I mean tools... I need friends.

@Harrison Desmond did you use triangles?

[@drive-channel1834]

You're your best friend

[@montycrain5783]

Very Nice . I remember most of this from “Chassis Engineering” by Herb Adams”. Especially the use of scale chassis models and levers for chassis deflection. I didn’t notice the use of shear panels in place of tubes for chassis design and triangulation.

[@thedubwhisperer2157]

What a treat to watch a presenter who really knows what a space frame is! My two go-to modelling methods are soft soldered brazing rod and hot melt glued drinking straws - they'll quickly show you any missing triangulation.

[@StanleyKubick1]

Incredible. This deserves a lot more views!

[@WayneMeichsner]

I have been looking for a video like this for a while now. Excellently done, sir! Thank you!

[@ancientapparition1638]

im glad that you put these up it is extremely important to see things for yourself. hands on experience so to speak

[@nothanksonh.w.3385]

even when I was prepared to be blown away, it blew me away even more than what I thought

[@balafayam9175]

Triangles are an engineer's best friend. 1 lecture n my whole engineering knowledge shifts🤯

[@shelbykingnfs7216]

This is fantastic! Im starting to learn about automotive design in my spare time and this explanation is truly excellent! Thank you!

[@codyboyd011]

Great video. The process to describe the theory was well thought out and well executed. There was a small technicality in terminology but nothing anyone should hold an individual accountable for in a live presentation. Loved it.

[@Alan_Mac]

An absolute masterclass. Thank you.

[@0371998]

thx for all, M.Robert !

[@akshaymuley4113]

This video is so great.. so much information explained easily... thank you sir for this video 😊🙏

[@c7dermatome]

Best description of the fundamentals EVER

[@buildfixcars]

Amazing explanation professor.

[@Wayne_Nero]

Genius ! More of this learning across the board please 👍

[@ExMachinaEngineering]

This is so amazingly well explained

[@MLFranklin]

Great visualization.

[@elvinxelilov4118]

Very good explanation. I want to study in your class.👍👏

[@feraskiki655]

Thank you so much. Every time I watch real demos of what I was studying in class I feel I want to cry. WHY DON'T THEY DO THIS IN CLASS! is it that hard to put some pieces of wood and show the demo! does it cost an arm and leg to build it. I just don't understand. Just glad I live in this time and age

[@gerardscheffer8848]

Excellent!

[@pdpiper]

This is fantastic. Thanks

[@BK-it6wg]

At first I stared in amazement, then I laughed soo hard...amazing lecture

[@TallDudeSSj]

Great teacher! 😁👍

[@Jayraymay13]

I enjoyed this more than I have enjoyed studying automobile engineering.

[@PistolStar47.]

Excellent Video Sir

[@MOHITBHARDWAJbanjara]

dLots of off-road vehicles use the ladder type chassis design like land rover and suzuki and the reason an article suggested is that it produces minimum to no flex which is opposite to whats being demonstrated in the video. i am a bit confused. is there something i'm missing here ??

[@honkhonk6443]

wait... i already know this, the video is so good i watched it to the end lol

[@paulkevinlogmo]

Fantastic !!! Please more :)

[@kishoremn191]

Great.

[@Pazair-nq6gl]

Gracias sr Roberts. Salud🤙

Does anybody know what book he is speaking of?

You saved me. Thank you

[@kampa3531]

is chassis frame the start points of every vehicle ?

[@rafayelferrari242]

thank you so much , lot of likes

AWESOME

[@vilberg3]

Awesome 🤓

[@dotzoos]

thanks!!!

[@user-rt3lb9oq6x]

👍 amazing

[@SohamChakraborty42069]

Was really having trouble making best friends..glad I chose engineering!

[@light3739]

Why such things aren't taught in our class...

[@paultavres9830]

Doesnt the rear engine mounts and engine block count as a cross member In the context of the ladder chassis with limited wheel travel wouldnt the ladder chassis keep the rubber to the road better due to the flexibility hence be an asset over the other box and angled chassis with the same amount of wheel travel

[@SurajThapa-gv9tx]

chassis should not be made to do the job of a suspension, if that is what you are asking.

[@andrasjuhasz7011]

@@SurajThapa-gv9tx Unless we are talking gokart.

[@davidsegovia2397]

I'm learning everything I can about chassis design to build one for my 1967 mustang, If anyone has tips please let me know, everything helps :)

[@afoxwithahat7846]

Just learned

[@konichiwa2650]

wowww

[@zezow1]

Triangles rock👍🏼

[@balafayam9175]

Structural rigidity comes more from geometry than the structure of the material 🤯🤯🤯

I went nuts at the end there.

Cybertruck?

[@adithyagolwalkar7896]

Oh my Who is here after cybertruck unveil

[@vash01000100]

yep :) and I've been sharing with others to show why that design was chosen. People don't understand that it's 18x using the same material. That's absurd!
