Hi,
i write this post to ask your help to understand some details about carbon fiber chassis (actually i think the principle is the same also for the few aluminum honeycomb chassis around today).
My doubt regards critical zones of the structure, like the ones where front suspension attachements are, the ones just in front of drivers hands and the one at the front end of the chassis, where you normally mount front nose. If you examine these zones in spaceframe chassis, you would normally have bulkheads there, to make the structure stiffer and to rexist in case of accidents.
Is something similar done also in CF chassis? what i mean is, exception made for the internal honeycomeb, which is nearly everywhere in the structure, do manufacturers also use any kind of "internal bulkhead" (maybe made out of carbon fiber or aluminum) to reinforce these critical areas, where loads (see suspension attachements, or roll hoops zones in case of accidents) can be very big?
Thanks!
