Statistical analysis of silicone oil flow through drilled plates used in RC cars

Abstract

the present work studies how to determine the best combined dimensions of control variables to achieve an optimal mass flowrate in order the better damping performance on radio-controlled vehicles. According to this, we are going to design a DOE based on Taguchi´s (10) to measure the influence of fluid viscosity (μ), perimeter holes diameter (PHD), centre hole diameter (CHD) and hole length (HL) of different drilled plates used as a critical part of a RC vehicle damper. This DOE design will be L16 with three control variables already described and a fixed value (μ, WAGNERSIL S200). On the other hand, drilled plates will be 3d printed and self-designed by CAD, using ARTILLERY SIDEWINDER X1 “fdm” printing system.
