Abstract

This dissertation documents the steering and suspension design of the 2006 Formula
SAE-A racer made at the University of Southern Queensland.
The dissertation includes information on various steering and suspension systems and
the various geometry set ups that define handling and performance of the Formula
SAE-A racer. It also introduces Wm. C. Mitchell's suspension geometry software and
how it can be used to analyse and optimise steering and suspension setups.
An analysis of the 2005 Formula SAE-A racer to determine improvements that can be
implemented into the 2006 design has been included followed by the design intentions
of the 2006 Formula SAE-A racer.
