Dimensioning of the front suspension of Lancia Delta Integrale race car

Deformacija ovjesa pri vožnji trkaćeg automobila makadamom dovela je do potrebe revizije njegovih postojećih elemenata. Prvi korak ovog diplomskog rada bio je razlučiti realnu mogućnost dolaska do opterećenja koje će dovesti do takve deformacije od potencijalne iznimke koju nije moguće generalizirati. Proučavanjem literature te provedenim analizama potvrđena je stvarna vjerojatnost ponovnog dolaska do neispravnosti tj. do plastične deformacije koja nije uzrok zamora. Numeričkim analizama (u kombinaciji s nezanemarivim iskustvom) napravljen je redizajn kritične komponente te je ispravnost potvrđena za veći spektar mogućih opterećenja.Driving racing cars on macadam roads leads to suspension deformation. This calls for revision of its existing elements. The first step in this work was to distinguish the potential possibility of occuring such load that will lead to this kind of deformation of a potential exception that cannot be generalized. By studying literature and the analyzes carried out, the realistic probability of failure reappearance, i.e. plastic deformation, which is not the cause of fatigue is confirmed. Using numerical analyzes (coupled with negligible experience) critical component redesign has been made and the validity is confirmed for bigger specter of possible load scenarios
