Abstract

A higher energy efficiency in a high efficient energy car can be reached by using a honeycomb sandwich structure that is made from fiber-carbon composite which is lighter in weight. With a lighter weight, a higher power-to-weight ratio can be reached.  In this research, honeycomb sandwich panels are made from fiber-carbon composite and tested to determine their flexural strength and stiffness. These honeycomb sandwich panels are made with varying thickness of core cell wall, which are made by 1 layer and 2 layers of fiber-carbon sheet. Matrix that is used is epoxy resin that is prepared in two methods, with and without heating. The bending test result shows that the highest flexural strength that can be reached is 5.193 kgf/mm2 which is reached by the specimen that has 2 layers’ fiber carbon with heating epoxy resin. Flexural stiffness is also reached by the same specimen, of 67.49 kgf/mm.

Abstract

The chassis is a vital component in electric vehicles, which can keep the car rigid and robust to support the load on it. In this research, the chassis is designed for electric vehicles with sufficient strength and rigidity, as well as light in weight and safety according to KMLI regulations, to be used in student racing competitions. The design process is begun with chassis space frame determination and weight and position definition of all components to be installed on the chassis. Then calculate the centre of gravity and the reaction force at the mounting supports on each wheel. The chassis design has a length of 2300mm, a width of 1100mm and a height of 1100 mm. This chassis is made using ASTM A106 Grade B steel pipe with a diameter of 1 inch, and the total weight is 76.5 kg. The analysis was carried out statically using Solidwork. The static study showed maximum stress of 22.06 MPa, a maximum deflection of 0.346 mm, and a minimum safety factor of 10.9. All the parameters show promising results, strength, stiffness, and safety in compliance with KMLI regulations
