Abstract
This study conducts a numerical and experimental analysis of the use of a "Halo" device, inspired by Formula 1, within the Formula SAE competition. Several alternatives were developed to meet the regulatory requirements of Formula SAE, and the selected proposal was modeled in CATIA V5 using both surface and solid modeling techniques. The model underwent a structural analysis similar to the "Quasi-static Test 1" used for the Formula 1 "Halo," utilizing ANSYS Workbench 2023 R2 for finite element analysis (FEA). Additionally, physical tests were carried out to validate and compare the virtual results, with the aim of assessing the relevance and benefits of this safety device.
