The club designs, builds and validates an all-terrain vehicle called the Baja. For some time now, the Baja \u00c9TS has had problems with one essential system: its steering wheel. The wheel made from a cut aluminum plate had proved inadequate, breaking several times in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>To solve the steering wheel\u2019s reliability problem, the Baja team turned to the Shape Memory Alloys and Intelligent Systems Laboratory (LAMSI). During discussions, four steering wheel optimization criteria were listed: a) Maximize steering wheel stiffness\/weight ratio; b) Increase steering wheel resistance to mechanical stress, both impact and fatigue; c) Improve ergonomics of the driver\u2019s grip on the steering wheel (customization); d) Simplify steering wheel assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Three design objectives were formulated by the LAMSI and Baja teams, namely a) Consider the three load cases for topological optimization: left and right turns, braking, impact or landing; b) Integrate, optimize position, and customize steering wheel handles; c) Protect the steering wheel\u2019s electronic components from the elements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"link-btn-style btn-yellow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/substance.etsmtl.ca\/en\/optimized-customized-3d-printed-steering-wheel-baja-sae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the case study<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baja \u00c9TS, \u00c9TS, TT Fabrication 3D (2023). &nbsp;
