2014 FSAE Structural Equivalency Spreadsheet V1.2

2014 FSAE Structural Equivalency Spreadsheet Guide
There has been some confusion over the allowable additional proof for monocoques, this has been clarified in the Monocoque Guidance tab.
If you find a new problem with the SES template or require a clarification 72 hours or less before the SES submission deadline please include your own proof of equivalency in the "Additional Info" tab as well as filing a Rules question.
Revisions:
V1.0 First release for 2014 rules
V1.1 Additional proof areas revised to allow pasting of pictures in Shoulder Harness Bar, Front Roll Hoop Bracing and MRH Brace Support tabs
V1.2 Shear test tab modified to allow results for first and second peaks to be entered into test result, diagram added to Monocoque Guidance tab
The SES template has been created to simplify the process of proving structural equivalency.
As downloaded the spreadsheet assumes a baseline steel chassis design. The majority of the cells in the spreadsheet are locked, you can only edit the cells shaded yellow.
Cells shaded grey are dependant on the data entered in yellow cells, the formulae in these grey cells have been left visible so you can see how the results are calculated.
The vast majority of the tabs can be accessed using the hyperlinks on the cover sheet. Note there are some that cannot such as the "additional info" and "welded tube insert" tabs. If
you enable macros when opening the document "Ctrl+e" will always return you to the cover sheet.
There have been a few questions about how to handle bent/two piece tubes in place of a single baseline tube. If properly triangulated then the reinforced bent/two piece tube will be
stiffer and stronger than the baseline tube, so please ensure you include images of the tube(s) in the "Chassis Pics" tab for the SES assessor to review. You may add additional proof
of equivalence to the "Additional Info" tab if you deem it necessary. You do not need to adjust the number of tubes in the relevant calculation tab.
The SES has been extensively tested, but if you think you have found a mistake in the document or have any questions on how to use the template please submit a question to the
FSAE rules committee in the usual manner.

Monocoque Additional Proof
Where additional proof of equivalency for monocoque structures is required either of the following two techniques are preferred:
CAD Measure of Chassis Cross-section
Use a CAD measure of the relevant chassis section second moment of area multiplied by the stiffness derived from the physical test(s) to prove actual EI >= 100%
Hand Calcs / MATLAB calculation of Chassis Cross-section
Shear Test Results
Where additional proof of equivalency for monocoque structures is required either of the following two techniques are preferred:
Use a CAD measure of the relevant chassis section second moment of area multiplied by the stiffness derived from the physical test(s) to prove actual EI >= 100%

Images must include dimensions/labels indicating the following:
Angle of main and front hoops
Angle between main hoop bracing and main hoop
Distance from top of main hoop to main hoop brace attachment
Distance from top of front hoop to front hoop brace attachment
Outer diameter and wall thickness of all tubes / monocoque lay-up
Please attach pictures of the frame and/or monocoque in the table below for review during the SES process.
All tubes/lay-ups must be colour coded to show outer diameter and wall thickness. Three view drawings and
isometric views of the structure (CAD, FEA models, etc) are acceptable. Note: The final decision about all designs
will be made at technical inspection. Approval of an SES does not guarantee passing Tech. Inspection.
