DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF HYBRID SPACE FRAME RACE CAR CHASSIS

In process of nurturing future engineer, Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) competition is held for various academic institutions to compete with each other to design the best FSAE race car. FSAE race car is similar to a typical Formula one race car, open cockpit, single seated and open...
