    The document summarizes the material selection process for designing a rollcage. SAE 4130 steel was selected based on its high strength, weldability, and availability. Tubing with an outer diameter of 31.75mm and wall thickness of 1.6mm was chosen for the primary members as it met bending strength and stiffness requirements while minimizing mass. Tubing with a 25.4mm outer diameter and 1.65mm wall thickness was selected for secondary members. Reference subsystem parameters and rulebook constraints were also considered in the design process.

    MATERIAL SELECTION:

    We selected the following materials for the design of the rollcage.These


    materials were compared thoroughly on various parameters to get the
    material best suited for our requirement and which is compatible with all
    the stresses to be faced.

    Parameter SAE 1018 SAE 1026 SAE 4130

    Strength 1 4 5

    Machinability 4 5 4

    Weldability 4 3 4

    Availability 4 3 3

    Cost 4 3 3

    SAE 4130 Mechanical Properties


    After selecting the material,
    Yield strength 460 MPa cross-section of the primary
    members of the rollcage
    Tensile strength 560 MPa needed to be finalized.

    % Elongation 18 According to the rulebook the


    primary members must have
    Elasticity modulus 210 GPa bending strength and bending
    stiffness exceeding that of a
    circular steel tubing having an
    outside diameter of 25.4mm(1 inch) and a wall thickness of 3mm(0.120 inch)
    and a carbon content of 0.18% . So taking SAE 1018 as the reference
    material with cross section of 25.4mm(1 inch) and wall thickness of
    3mm(0.120 inch), its bending strength and bending stiffness were calculated
    and were compared to that of the various cross-sections of SAE 4130
    available in the market. That cross-section which had the required bending
    strength and stiffness and the least mass per unit length was finalized.

    The calculations of the bending strength and bending stiffness of the


    reference material (SAE 1018) and the mass per unit length are shown
    below:

    Reference tubing specifications:

    Outer Diameter: 25.4 mm (1 inch)

    Wall thickness: 3 mm(0.120 inch)

    Material: SAE 1018

    Inner Diameter: 19.4 mm (0.77 inch)

    Modulus of Elasticity: 205 GPa

    Second moment of area: 13180.764 mm4

    Yield strength: 365 MPa

    Distance to the extreme fiber: 12.7 mm

    Bending Strength:378.817 N*m

    Bending Stiffness: 2702.057 N*m2

    Mass per unit length: 1.676 kg/m

    Selected tubing specification:

    Outer Diameter: 31.75 mm (1.25 inch)

    Wall thickness: 1.6 mm (0.063 inch)


    Material: SAE 4130

    Inner Diameter: 28.55 mm (1.12 inch)

    Modulus of Elasticity: 205 GPa

    Second moment of area: 17260.085 mm4

    Yield strength: 460 MPa

    Distance to the extreme fiber: 15.875 mm

    Bending Strength: 500.134 N*m

    Bending Stiffness: 3538.317 N*m2

    Mass per unit length: 1.183 kg/m

    For the secondary members of the rollcage SAE 4130 tubes with O.D. 25.4
    mm (1 inch) and wall thickness 1.65mm (0.065 inch) are selected.

    Reference Subsystem Inputs:


    To start with, we decided to take rough parameters as reference from other
    subsystem members regarding their designs. So as we make sure our design is
    completely compatible with that of other subsystems and we do not have to make
    any major changes in our design later. The following subsystem inputs are taken
    into consideration:

     Pick up points
     Rack length
     Wheel base
     Track width
     Nose
     Drive train compartment
     Pedal box

    Rulebook And Ergonomics Constraints:-Next, we read the rulebook thoroughly


    and marked out all the restrictions given and dimensions mentioned in it and noted
    it down. Also, at the same time checked the ergonomics of driver and how it may
    affect the design of our roll cage. We sorted out all the parameters obtained till
    now and got an idea about how our roll cage should be shaped. With all the
    parameters available we proceeded to next step.

    The various Ergonomic angle values were selected to make sure that the
    driver’s output and comfort should be maximized within a given condition
    and also made sure all the values are in agreement with standard values.
