This work has the intention to evaluate the performance of a Formula SAE chassis in its environment and function. Trying to correlate the dynamic behavior with rigidity of the chassis of the vehicle. Using the aid of simulation, multi-body model, and real vehicle testing, for calibration the model. Two models had been made, one rigid and another flexible, being the common systems steering, suspension, engine, transmission, tires and brakes for both models. Where the only difference between the two, is the chassis. In the flexible model, two bodies are joined by a torsional bushing that can have any desirable value, from , to of or of the chassis in study. Through maneuvers, such as fish hook and single lane change, with the help of the software ADAMS/Car®, simulations of pre-established maneuvers, following a pattern, were performed to evaluate the results of dynamic models, rigid and flexible. With the obtained results, it is possible to determine the characteristics of dynamic behavior of the Formula SAE. By changing the value of chassis rigidity and comparing with a rigid model chassis, it is possible to quantify the influence of the rigidity of a flexible system chassis. Therefore, try to create a methodology of analysis and development of chassis. To show the influence of torsion, for instance, in the fish hook maneuver, between rigid and flexible (with the , therefore ) the difference was in the speed at the end of the maneuver. As for the single lane change the value this value was , smaller the value the better the chassis behavior, it shows the efficiency of the chassis in maneuver. Now for the same example with of rigidity (i.e. ) the difference in the final speed increased to , becoming more noticeable in a several laps race. Taking not only the value obtained in a static load and or stiffness analysis, but also a series of dynamic tests. Evaluating the chassis behavior, from the design application point of view. Being able to have its stiffness changed to any value that is more efficient for the task assigned
