Conceptual Design of An Urban Electric Microcar: Mehmet Murat Topaç Merve Karaca

This document summarizes the conceptual design process for an urban electric microcar. It outlines steps such as determining vehicle dimensions and mass, motor power requirements, suspension type and geometry, and braking system sizing. It also describes performing simulations and analyses to evaluate dynamic behavior, strength, durability, and optimizing the design for weight reduction. The conceptual design process aims to satisfy performance criteria through an iterative process until the strength and durability requirements are met.
