Pneumatic brake system An air operated brake system or pneumatic brake system is employed predominantly in medium and heavy duty trucks, because of the following advantages. 1. The pressure of the precompressed air allows practically any force required for braking to be developed with a very small effort applied by the driver to the brake…
Introduction of brake system The brake system is one of the most significant systems of a vehicle. It has the following basic roles. 1. It should slow a moving vehicle. 2. It should bring a vehicle to a stop. 3. It needs to hold a vehicle stationary when stopped. 4. It permits directional control during…
A torsion bar suspension system is a one type of suspension methods is usually used in vehicles such as cars, trucks and vans. They keep the tires in contact with the surface of the road, upkeep the weight of a vehicle and absorb the forces produced by the movement and motion of the vehicle
What is an air suspension? Air suspension is used to support the vehicle on the axles with an organization of air bags instead of steel spring, leaf or torsion or some coil springs. The air bags are also stated to as bellows. Suspensions with steel or torsion spring and added by the use of air…
INTRODUCTION TO LEAF SPRINGS Leaf springs also denoted to as semi-elliptical springs are one of the ancient form of suspension used in vehicles, particularly heavy vehicles. A leaf spring appears like a bow minus the string. It contains of a stack of curved narrow plates of the same width and varied length clamped together with…
Introduction For several years vehicle dynamics engineers have struggled to accomplish a compromise between vehicle handling, ride comfort and stability. The outcomes of this are vibrant in the vehicles we see today. In common, at one extreme are large sedan and luxury cars with excellent ride qualities but only satisfactory handling behavior. On the last…
Spark plug The spark plug is fitted to the cylinder head. Its function is to conduct the high potential into the combustion chamber and produce a spark. The cross section of a typical spark plug can be seen in the picture The spark plug has two electrodes, a steel shell assembly and an insulator unit….
Components of the Automobile chassis The various components of the Automobile chassis and their location in a vehicle can be seen in this picture Engine produces power required to move the vehicle at the desired speed, overcoming the external resistances. This can be a SI engine or CI engine or gas engine. Radiator is a…
Lighting system The lighting system in an automobile includes the following: head lights, direction signal lights, stop lights, back up lights, tail lights, blinker lights, side maker lights and the interior lights. Head lights illuminate the highway sufficient to permit safe night driving. These are usually provided two or more beams. One beam provides maximum…
HOLOGRAPHY-3D IMAGES A photograph is a two-dimensional record of light intensity received from a three-dimensional object. Holography is a technique for recording optical images. It was developed by Gabor in the year 1947.The term holo means whole or complete and graphy means recording. Holography literally means complete recording. Holography records both amplitude and phase of…
