Konstrukční návrh hardtop střechy vozidla StudentCar SCE

Abstract

The subject of this thesis is the structural design of a hardtop roof for the StudentCar SCE student vehicle and the creation of its physical model. The entire design is based on an existing chassis and bodywork that were developed as part of the StudentCar project. The theoretical part of the thesis describes selected materials and design principles used in the production of sports car roofs, including the historical development of hardtops and convertibles. The practical part focuses on the design process itself, the choice of appropriate technologies, the structural design of the attachment and the production of the model using 3D printing, while ergonomics and aerodynamics of the final solution are also taken into account.
