Stucture System S8 Model

Space fram

The structure is designed in a space frame format due to its lightweight and high strength.
It has been tested using computer simulation programs to simulate dynamic impact strength testing.
The team constructed the actual structure using AISI

( American Iron and Steel Institute ) steel.

The design includes steel tubes with different diameters and wall thicknesses in three varying sizes.

American Steel Standards.

American Iron and Steel Institute ( AISI ) / Society of Automotive Engineer ( SAE ) / American Society for Testing and Material ( ASTM )

The Society of Automotive Engineers ( SAE ) uses a designation system represented by the symbol SAE followed by a set of three additional characters. Each character has its own meaning :

First Character : A number from 1 to 9, indicating the general category of the steel.
Second Character : A letter that represents the amount of specific alloying elements present in the steel.
Third Character : A set of up to two digits that indicates the percentage of carbon in the steel.

First Character :

1 = Carbon Steel

2 = Nickel Steel

3 = Nickel - Chromium Steel

4 = Molybdenum Alloy Steel

5 = Chromium Alloy Steel

6 = Chromium - Vanadium Alloy Steel

7 = Tungsten Alloy Steel

8 = Nickel - Chromium - Molybdenum Alloy Steel

9 = Silicon - Manganese Alloy Steel

Carbon steel is widely used for general applications, making it the most commonly used type of steel. The carbon content in carbon steel typically ranges from approximately 0.05% to 0.35%. When the carbon content is low, the steel exhibits lower hardness and strength. However, carbon steel can be easily machined using tools such as lathes, milling machines, and planers.

The properties of low carbon steel are as follows :

Contains approximately 0.05-0.35% carbon.
Has lower strength compared to other types of steel.
Exhibits lower hardness when compared to other steels.
Can be easily machined and shaped using tools.
Is cheaper than other types of steel.
Is produced for a wide range of applications.
