Abstract: SUPRA SAEINDIA is an annual national level competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers India. From all over India, the selected Under Graduate & Post Graduate Engineering Student teams are asked to design, model, fabricate and compete with a small open-wheel, open cockpit type race car. The purpose for this thesis project is to design and manufacture the SUPRA SAEINDIA race car Front and Rear Upright Assemblies. The purpose of an upright assembly is to provide a physical mounting and links from the suspension arms to the hub and wheel assembly, as well as carrying brake components. It is a load-bearing member of the suspension system and is constantly moving with the motion of the wheel. For the use on a high performance vehicle, the design objective for the upright is to provide a stiff, compliance-free design and installation, as well as achieving lower weight to maximize the performance to weight ratio of the vehicle. This is the goal for the optimization process. In this thesis a virtual prototype of Upright assembly is created by using SOLIDWORKS CAD tool.
