This thesis examines component management and demanufacturing opportunities for the braking system of the TID148 single-seater race car developed by Team PolibaCorse. The objective is to assess how available technical information can support maintenance, disassembly and the management of components removed from service. The analysis draws on the 2023 CBOM, CAD models, exploded views, photographic documentation and manufacturers’ technical sources. The reconstruction of the system architecture includes a Make/Buy classification and an investigation into the provenance of three components: the AP Racing CP7855 master cylinder, the Tilton 72-250 balance bar and a brake rotor listed in the CBOM as being made of C45 steel. The comparison reveals partial traceability, distinguishing verified information from unavailable data. The study considers maintenance and recovery strategies subject to technical suitability and safety requirements. System modularity and reversible connections facilitate selective disassembly, while multimaterial components present greater challenges for material separation. Since the race car is preserved as part of the Team’s heritage, the demanufacturing assessment is document-based and prospective, with no experimental disassembly tests performed on the vehicle. Finally, the thesis proposes extending the CBOM to include information on component provenance, materials, design revisions and maintenance activities. This would help preserve the Team’s technical knowledge and support decisions throughout the components’ life cycle.
La tesi analizza la gestione dei componenti e le possibilità di demanufacturing dell’impianto frenante della monoposto TID148 del Team PolibaCorse. L’obiettivo è valutare come le informazioni tecniche disponibili possano supportare la manutenzione, il disassemblaggio e la gestione dei componenti rimossi dal servizio. L’analisi si basa sulla distinta base CBOM 2023, sui modelli CAD, sugli esplosi, sulla documentazione fotografica e sulle fonti tecniche dei produttori. La ricostruzione dell’architettura del sistema comprende la classificazione Make/Buy e l’approfondimento della provenienza di tre componenti: il master cylinder AP Racing CP7855, il balance bar Tilton 72-250 e un rotore associato nella CBOM all’acciaio C45. Il confronto evidenzia una tracciabilità parziale, distinguendo le informazioni verificate dai dati non disponibili. Lo studio considera le strategie di manutenzione e recupero subordinandole all’idoneità tecnica e alla sicurezza. La modularità e i collegamenti reversibili favoriscono il disassemblaggio selettivo, mentre i componenti multimateriale presentano maggiori difficoltà di separazione. Poiché la monoposto è conservata come testimonianza storica del Team, la valutazione del demanufacturing ha carattere documentale e prospettico, senza prove sperimentali di smontaggio sulla vettura. Il lavoro propone infine di ampliare la CBOM con informazioni sulla provenienza, sui materiali, sulle revisioni progettuali e sugli interventi manutentivi, per preservare la memoria tecnica del Team e supportare le decisioni lungo il ciclo di vita dei componenti.

Abstract
This thesis examines component management and demanufacturing opportunities for the braking system of the TID148 single-seater race car developed by Team PolibaCorse. The objective is to assess how available technical information can support maintenance, disassembly and the management of components removed from service. The analysis draws on the 2023 CBOM, CAD models, exploded views, photographic documentation and manufacturers’ technical sources. The reconstruction of the system architecture includes a Make/Buy classification and an investigation into the provenance of three components: the AP Racing CP7855 master cylinder, the Tilton 72-250 balance bar and a brake rotor listed in the CBOM as being made of C45 steel. The comparison reveals partial traceability, distinguishing verified information from unavailable data. The study considers maintenance and recovery strategies subject to technical suitability and safety requirements. System modularity and reversible connections facilitate selective disassembly, while multimaterial components present greater challenges for material separation. Since the race car is preserved as part of the Team’s heritage, the demanufacturing assessment is document-based and prospective, with no experimental disassembly tests performed on the vehicle. Finally, the thesis proposes extending the CBOM to include information on component provenance, materials, design revisions and maintenance activities. This would help preserve the Team’s technical knowledge and support decisions throughout the components’ life cycle.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
