FSAE Tripod Axle FEA

I conducted the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the tripod axle for the OTR Formula SAE (FSAE) racecar using Nastran to evaluate its structural integrity under race conditions. I created a detailed CAD assembly, assigned material properties, and generated the mesh to simulate stress concentrations accurately.

I ran simulations to assess stress distribution and potential failure points by applying realistic boundary conditions and dynamic loads. The analysis revealed critical stress areas, leading to design recommendations for improved performance and durability.

This project demonstrates my proficiency in FEA, CAD modelling, and engineering design optimization for high-performance automotive applications.
