This paper proposes a theoretical drive cycle for the competition, considering the battery pack project under design. The vehicle has a non-reversible, double-stage gear train, created without a dynamic investigation. To evaluate the effect on performance, several ratios were analyzed. Dynamic model uses Eksergian’s Equation of Motion to evaluate car equivalent mass (generalized inertia), and external forces acting on the vehicle. The circuit is divided into key locations where the driver is likely to accelerate or brake, based on a predicted behavior. MATLAB ODE Solver executed the numerical integration, evaluating time forward coordinates, creating the drive cycle. Linear gear train results provided data as boundary conditions for a second round of simulations performed with epicyclic gear trains. Model is updated to include their nonlinearity by differential algebraic equation employment with Lagrange multipliers. All data undergoes evaluation to ascertain the mechanical and

The study of residual torque is necessary in various fields to ensure the safety and reliability of bolted joints. The present study aims to determine, experimentally, the decrease in torque applied to a nut used in the assembly of two polymeric components (POM - Polyoxymethylene). These components are part of the fuel supply module, responsible for supplying fuel from the tank to the engine. This reduction in torque initially applied is mapped to the end-of-life of the components and is used as an approval criteria in the audit procedures of the Robert Bosch company. The first component features an overmolded metallic screw, injected into POM. The mating part is also injection molded from POM and is assembled onto the first part, secured by tightening a metal nut. Due to the plastic-to-metal interface, it’s expected that there will be a reduction in the initially applied torque required to fasten the pieces together. The study was based on 5 steps: 1 Theoretical study on residual

Gear shifting performance in vehicles is critical for smooth operation, especially under cold environment conditions or sub-zero conditions. In this comprehensive study, we delve into the multifaceted aspects that influence gear shifting behaviour during cold conditions especially after overnight vehicle soaking at low temperature below -8°C to simulate real world scenarios. Notably, our efforts on these bench trials focuses on isolating the synchronization load from the maximum block release force, a phenomenon arising from the interaction between synchronizer rings and gear cones in case of high drag of input and counter shafts. Our experimental trials involved multiple bench level testing for lower gear shifting case especially 2nd to 1st gear and 1st to 2nd gear shifting. Factors under study are focusing on changing the Oil (viscosity and quantity), different combination of synchronizer ring material, change of inertia etc. Shifting load in cold condition mainly includes two loads

Indirect vision is a crucial function of an automotive vehicle for providing rear visibility and hence decreasing blind spots. Presently, conventional mirrors are used for indirect vision. However, camera-monitor systems (CMS) can be used on vehicles to display the driver’s rearview on a monitor mounted inside the vehicle. Present European regulations as well as Indian standards offer the possibility of replacing conventional mirrors with suitable CMS and thereby implementing new design concepts with aerodynamic advantages. As mirrors are a critical safety component for securing the driver’s indirect rear vision, the question arises whether CMS can provide an equivalent substitute for mirrors, and this is more important and critical in Indian scenarios. In the scope of this research, CMS and conventional mirrors are compared for the field of vision as per the national and international standards and assessed the acceptance of test drives (data collection) and static and dynamic tests

The stiffness and positioning of engine mounts are crucial in determining the powertrain rigid body modes and kinetic energy distribution. Therefore, optimizing these mounts is essential in the automotive industry to separate the torque roll axis (TRA) and minimize vibration. This study aims to enhance mount locations by isolating the engine rigid body modes and predicting the inter-component force (ICF) and transfer function of the vehicle. The individual ICFs for engine mountings are calculated by applying a unit force at the bearing location. Critical frequencies are identified where the amplification exceeds the unit force at the mounting interface between the engine and the frame. The transfer function approach is utilized to assess the vibration at the handlebar. Both ICF and transfer functions analyze the source and path characteristics linked to critical response frequencies. This understanding aids in enhancing mounting positions to minimize vibration levels, thereby enhancing

Linear dynamics simulations are performed on engine components to ensure structural integrity under dynamic loading. The finite element model of the engine assembly must be prepared accurately to avoid under or over design of the engine components. Flexible hoses are present at pipe routings and modeling them in simulations is a challenge because the stiffness of the composite is not known. The hose under study in this paper is a rubber composite with a knitted reinforcement layer. A multiscale modelling approach is presented to characterize the hose stiffness. A representative volume element geometry i.e., unit cell representation of the composite, consisting of the knitted yarn and surrounding rubber is used to establish orthotropic elastic properties at microscale, by performing finite element homogenization using the ANSYS material designer module. The homogenized properties are assigned to the macroscale hose geometry to perform modal analysis simulation in free-free and fixed

Gear shifting effort or force especially in manual transmission has been one of the key factors for subjective assessment in passenger vehicle segment. An optimum effort to shift into the gears creates a big difference in overall assessment of the vehicle. The gear shifting effort travels through the transmission shifting system that helps driver to shift between the different available gears as per the torque and speed demand. The shifting system is further divided into two sub-systems. 1. Peripheral system [Gear Shift Lever with knob and shift Cable Assembly] and Shift system inside the transmission [Shift Tower Assembly, Shift Forks, Hub and sleeve Assembly with keys, Gear Cones and Synchronizer Rings etc.] [1]. Both the systems have their own role in overall gear shifting effort. There has been work already done on evaluation of the transmission shifting system as whole for gear shifting effort with typical test bench layouts. Also, work has been on assessment of life of the

A new aviation supply chain integrity coalition has offered 13 recommended actions to prevent the circulation of non-serialized aircraft parts throughout the global aviation industry. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL In the summer of 2023, a receiving clerk in the procurement department of TAP Air Portugal, a Lisbon-based airline, made a curious discovery: A $65 engine part that should have appeared brand-new showed signs of significant wear. The clerk checked the documentation from the London-based parts supplier and noticed that the submitted documentation was also suspicious. Using his safety training, the employee immediately reported the anomaly to TAP Air Portugal management, which raised the issue with the jet engine's manufacturer. Little did the procurement clerk know at the time, but this escalation led to one of the biggest investigations in the history of the aviation supply chain, as reported by Reuters and the British Broadcasting Corporation in
This study investigated the contact pressure distribution of three combustion seal designs for fuel injectors using both experimental techniques and finite element analysis (FEA). The designs tested included the baseline seal (Design #1), a conical seal (Design #2), and the current production seal (Design #3). In phase 1, a 2D axisymmetric FEA was conducted under worst-case torque conditions (67.8 Nm) to simulate contact pressure, with an axial load of 10 kN and combustion pressure of 21.3 MPa applied to the injector assembly. Phase 2 employed Fuji films to measure the pressure distribution at higher torques (89.5 and 115.2 Nm) in a more realistic scenario, incorporating challenges such as misalignment and eccentric loading. During this phase, Fuji film shearing was a significant challenge, complicating the accurate assessment of pressure profiles. Design #1 failed to maintain the minimum threshold contact pressure of 70 MPa over a 1 mm length, leading to potential leakage. Design #2
