A crucial part of our engineering skill.

Hey there connections⭐ Set your compass to success because I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed the Racing🏎️ and Performance💻 training from Garrett - Advancing Motion. What I learned : - Engine tuning - Turbo matching with the engine - Installation and fabrication

Here are some critical points to remember about engine swapping, especially if you’re contemplating a career in auto mechanics.

Designing of a motor sport track and associated safety barriers is not something any average Joe can do. It requires professionals with proper understanding of the sport, physics, and associated engineering principles. If you think just a line of used tires and a couple of barrels or a dirt berm is good enough barrier between the track and the spectators, then this is the end result.  https://lnkd.in/dGAgiZ73

It is always good to give a bit back to the future generation of engineers. Last week R3 Ltd's Dr David Woodward did just that as he presented a Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) webinar on Motorsport racetrack design in Formula 1 and MotoGP. The event was organised by the ICE South Asia Early Careers Network who invited Dr David Woodward speak about his experiences in motorsport. David is Reader in Infrastructure Engineering at Ulster University where he teaches on the Civil Engineering courses. He is also Senior Scientific Officer for R3 Ltd who offer specialist services for roads, runways and racing circuits around the world. The presentation offered an insight into the many different issues with particular emphasis on those involving civil engineering input. It was based on case studies from projects in the UK, Europe and around the world, and was described as 'the stuff you don’t see on TV.' when you watch motorsport! Some of the key elements of his presentation covered differences in highway surfaces compared to racing surfaces; how to facilitate high speed races, initial design through to racing; simulation, construction materials, evolution of the tyre / surface interface to how street circuits compare to permanent tracks. We used a combination of this data to produce some of the smoothest and fastest tracks in the world.

Week 10 Update: It goes! This week, I spent a lot of time testing and fixing components, and the racing buggy is finally finished and working. Additions: - Steering system  - Brakes Fixed - Added more resistance to the accelerator pedal What failed: - CV failed under torsion (twice) - Rear differential mounts failed under stress Since testing, I added more material to the CV shafts further from the neutral axis to make them more torsion-resistant. I also bolstered the rear differential mounts so that they would not fail under the load of the motor. Unfortunately I did exceed the budget slightly, the total cost of the build was $1040, exceeding the build budget of $40 (which will result in a time penalty in my races). So far, I have taken the buggy up to 77 km/h on dirt (I need to find a longer stretch of road). I will post a later update as I get faster and faster times on the track. #engineering #engineer #offroad #ATV #project #UoAEngineering #UoA #RacingBuggyBuild #ProjectUpdate #EngineeringChallenges #MechanicalEngineering #DIYProjects #Motorsports
