Full analysis of suspension geometry and chassis performance of Formula Student racing car

Formula Student events gather engineering students, who compete, designing, building and racing single-seater cars. The team of ISEP is working on its first car that soon will take part in this competition. This work aims to analyze the current design’s chassis, focusing on suspension geometry and frame’s performance. After analyzing results of the tests planned suggestions, that can be taken into consideration during design process of next cars will be presented. As the car has not been tested yet this work can also be helpful to explain its performance on the track later.

Improvement of a photoautotrophic chassis robustness for synthetic biology applications

Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophic microorganisms with great potential for the biotechnological industry due to their low nutrient requirements, photosynthetic capacities and metabolic plasticity. In biotechnology, the energy sector is one of the main targets for their utilization, especially to produce the so called third generation biofuels, which are regarded as one of the best replacements for petroleum-based fuels. Although, several issues could be solved, others arise from the use of cyanobacteria, namely the need for high amounts of freshwater and contamination/predation by other microorganisms that affect cultivation efficiencies. The cultivation of cyanobacteria in seawater could solve this issue, since it has a very stable and rich chemical composition. Among cyanobacteria, the model microorganism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is one of the most studied with its genome fully sequenced and genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data available to better predict its phenotypic behaviors/characteristics. Despite suitable for genetic engineering and implementation as a microbial cell factory, Synechocystis’ growth rate is negatively affected by increasing salinity levels. Therefore, it is important to improve. To achieve this, several strategies involving the constitutive overexpression of the native genes encoding the proteins involved in the production of the compatible solute glucosylglycerol were implemented, following synthetic biology principles. A preliminary transcription analysis of selected mutants revealed that the assembled synthetic devices are functional at the transcriptional level. However, under different salinities, the mutants did not show improved robustness to salinity in terms of growth, compared with the wild-type. Nevertheless, some mutants carrying synthetic devices appear to have a better physiological response under seawater’s NaCl concentration than in 0% (w/v) NaCl.

Chassis frame design of a mobile platform equipped with robotic arms

The overall objective of the thesis is to design a robot chassis frame which is a bearing structure of a vehicle supporting all mechanical components and providing structure and stability. Various techniques and scientific principles were used to design a chassis frame.Design principles were applied throughout the process. By using Solid-Works software,virtual models was made for chassis frame. Chassis frame of overall dimension 1597* 800*950 mm3 was designed. Center of mass lieson 1/3 of the length from front wheel at height 338mm in the symmetry plane. Overall weight of the chassis frame is 80.12kg. Manufacturing drawing is also provided. Additionally,structural analysis was done in FEMAP which gives the busting result for chassis design by taking into consideration stress and deflection on different kind of loading resembling real life case. On the basis of simulated result, selected material was verified. Resulting design is expected to perform its intended function without failure. As a suggestion for further research, additional fatigue analysis and proper dynamic analysis can be conducted to make the study more robust.
