In-Wheel Motor Assembly: Formula Student Race Car

This lecture explores the design and optimization of an electric in-wheel Formula Student wheel assembly, focusing on integrating propulsion and suspension systems for enhanced performance, efficiency, and sustainability. The project involves switching to a fixed-carrier compound planetary gearbox, which offers advantages such as a more compact structure, improved efficiency, and enhanced durability. The transmission design process includes using commercial software for input-output analysis and performing finite element analysis for safety assurance. The final iteration showcases a well-photographed assembly with reduced size and weight, promising significant improvements for future competitions.
