Aeroshell/Chassis Assembly
Assembly of composite panels onto aeroshell for 2026 American Solar Challenge car Solstice
Created custom clamps/work-holding to maintain panel alignment during epoxy curing.
Custom Lightweight Brake Pedal
Calculated braking forces, Designed in SolidWorks, modifies existing Wildwood brake platform to have custom length and pedal ratio according to brake calculations.
FEA using Ansys, CNC Machined in 7075 Aluminum
Composite Chassis FEA
Ansys shell and solid models of FEA of vehicle impact scenario loading
FEA Simulations for chassis include: 3 side impact load positions, front impact, and rear impact
Swing Arm and Uprights
Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum on a 3-axis CNC mill. Parts required tight bearing bore precision for press fits and multiple setups to accurately machine all geometries.
