Abstract:
The aim this project is about design and fabrication of a race car body panel with glass-fiber composite material and is to development of FRP body panel for Imperial of Innovative Engineers (ISIE) race car. The determination of plies and orientation for the composite body work is made based on the highest flexural strength which is the Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) fiberglass. The method of fabricating the composite bodywork is using manual hand lay-up technique for the whole process. The overall body panel weight is measured with the digital weighting scale and the overall weight of the bodywork is 9410 gram. The weight reduction of body panel from previous bodywork is approximate 1500 - 1800 gram which gives nearly 25% less weight compared to current bodywork and suggested to be implemented at the new style race car[1] bodywork section and it has already used composite material which is carbon-fiber. The bodywork also has achieved a high standard of quality and performance to the car. So, the fabrication that will be made through this project will open a new potential to experience the new type of material for bodywork of race car which using composite material instead of using sheet metal.
