Popis: The air intake restrictor of an FSAE car is associated with the fluid flow analysis of the system. Structural integrity of the restrictor plays a major role in the optimization of the system thus obtaining aero-structural interaction. This paper aims at the optimization of the restrictor holistically. Fluid flow conditions are modeled for different convergent and divergent angle of the restrictor using choking condition, the lowest pressure difference model is chosen as the optimum solution. The pressure inside and the environment pressure is coupled to the structural analysis and then to vibrational model. A random vibrational analysis is performed to obtain the random probability of stresses due to undulations in the road. A 3-\( \sigma \) stress is considered and parametric optimization of the random vibration is used to optimize the thickness of the restrictor to get best possible thickness.
