Rollcage dimensions for engineering project
Hi,
I'm not sure where I should be asking this but I thought someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm studying automotive engineering and I have to do a project in a finite element analysis program for stress analysis. I thought it might be interesting to do an analisys of an impact on a roll cage/space frame. Is there anywhere that I would be able to find the dimensions for a simple (not too many elements) rollcage/space frame design that's used in a racing series? Thanks. |

The CAMS manual has a chapter on the standards required for roll cages for use in CAMS sanctioned events, based on FIA standards, if you know someone who competes they may be able to help loaning you a copy, or you can order one from CAMS.
Good luck! |

If there was an Australian Standard for this it would be a whole lot better, dont you think?
