Formula Student Car

2015

A car designed and built at Jordan University of Science and Technology to participate in the Formula Student Competition, organized by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

I was responsible for designing the brake system and collaborated with the suspension design team to model mechanical components, including the rocker and the upright. 

For the brake system, I used equations of vehicle dynamics, guided by car dimensions and weight distribution, to select the right master cylinder and caliper part specifications.  I then used SolidWorks to model the brake disc and simulate heat generation and endurance. 

After designing, producing, and collecting the car parts, the entire team collaborated at the university's facilities and workshops to assemble the car and prepare it for testing. The car was finally shipped to the UK to compete in the IMechE Formula Student Competition.
