The document discusses various axle systems used in vehicles. It describes the construction and function of rear axles, front axles, and stub axles. Rear axles are mounted at the rear of the vehicle and use axle shafts to transmit power from the differential to the rear wheels. Front axles provide steering action and support the front of the vehicle. Stub axles connect the wheels to the front and rear axles. The document outlines different types of rear axles including semi-floating, full-floating, and three-quarter floating designs.
The document discusses vehicle steering systems. It begins with an introduction to basic steering components and principles. It then covers various topics related to steering mechanisms, including Davis and Ackerman steering mechanisms. It also discusses steering ratio, steering lock, steering gear boxes including different types, and power steering. The document provides information on key factors for proper steering such as steerability and stability.
This document discusses vehicle suspension systems. It begins with an introduction to suspension systems, noting their purposes of connecting the vehicle body to wheels, absorbing shocks, and maintaining road contact. It then covers various suspension system types including rigid axle and independent suspensions. Specific suspension designs are described such as double wishbone, MacPherson strut, and air suspensions. Suspension movements and the role of springs and shock absorbers are also outlined.
The document discusses the vehicle body construction. It begins by introducing the objectives of the session which are to understand how vehicle parts form the body and give an aesthetic view to consumers. It then covers various topics related to vehicle body design including the importance of design, types of bodies, body construction components, body materials, and aerodynamics. The document focuses on the components that make up the vehicle body, how the body is constructed, and the purpose of key parts like doors, hood, seats, and other interior and exterior parts.
The document discusses turbochargers, including:
- A turbocharger uses the waste heat from exhaust gases to power a turbine, which spins a compressor to force more air into the engine cylinders, increasing power.
- It has a turbine section, compressor section, bearing housing, and wastegate valve. The bearing allows the turbine and compressor wheels to spin at high speeds while absorbing vibrations. The wastegate diverts some exhaust to control boost pressure.
- During acceleration, more exhaust flow spins the turbine and compressor faster, supplying more air/fuel to the engine for more power. The wastegate manages boost pressure to prevent damage from excessive pressure rises.
The document discusses catalytic converters, which are emission control devices that convert toxic gases from vehicle exhaust into less toxic pollutants. It describes the functions of catalytic converters, their construction using a ceramic core with precious metal catalysts, and how they work to oxidize carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons while also reducing oxides of nitrogen through redox reactions. The document differentiates between two-way catalytic converters, which control carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and three-way catalytic converters, which also control oxides of nitrogen emissions. Three-way catalytic converters are highlighted as the most effective at reducing the three main pollutants from vehicle exhaust.
The document discusses vehicle frames, including their objectives, types, construction methods, and loads. It begins by outlining the session objectives of understanding frame material selection, loads on frames, and frame construction types. It then defines frames as the main chassis component that supports other parts. The key types discussed are conventional, semi-integral, and integral frames. Materials covered include steel alloys, with details on channel, box, tubular, and I-beam cross sections. Loads on frames from acceleration, braking, impacts and more are also summarized.
The function of an Electronic ignition system is to produce the spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a timely manner for maintaining the effective combustion
The document discusses various electronic fuel injection systems for compression ignition (CI) engines. It begins by explaining the principles of CI engines and how they rely on high temperatures from compression to ignite fuel rather than a spark plug. It then categorizes CI engine injection systems as using either compressed air or high-pressure liquid fuel directly. Various common electronic systems are described in detail, including individual pump systems, common rail, and unit injector systems. The document focuses on explaining the working of the modern common rail system, describing its components and fuel injection process.
The document discusses the need for gear boxes in vehicles. It describes the various resistances that act on a moving vehicle, such as rolling resistance from friction between the tires and road, wind resistance which increases with speed, and gradient resistance from road inclines. A gear box is necessary because the engine's torque varies with speed but vehicles must be able to maintain motion over varying resistances and road conditions. By changing gears, the transmission can better match the engine's output to the demands placed on the driving wheels.
