Need For a Transmission

            The need for a transmission in an automobile is a consequence of the characteristics of the internal combustion engine. Engines typically operate over a range of 600 to about 7000 revolutions per minute (though this varies, and is typically less for diesel engines), while the car's wheels rotate between 0 rpm and around 1800 rpm.

Types of Flexible Coupling – Bibby Resilient Couplings

Types of Flexible Coupling – Bibby Resilient Couplings                  Named after its Inventor Dr. James Bibby in 1917, this coupling is still one of the most sought after flexible couplings for heavy shock applications. Let us now look at the constructional features of the coupling. 1.       The Coupling consists of two flanges or hubs specifically mounted on the drive and the driven shafts respectively. These hubs contain axial grooves cut on their circumference. 2.       The two couplings are joined or held together by means of a specially designed grid spring. 3.       The total assembly is enclosed in a casing or shell filled with grease for low-speed applications or, in high-speed applications with high viscosity oil. Now let’s look at the working aspect of the coupling and how it tends to reduce vibration and prevents the build-up of resonance in the system. a.) The specially designed spring is wound up through the grooves forming a series of resilient bridges throughout the p

Safety Systems in Vehicles | Seat Belts | Air Bags Seat belts                The function of the seat belts is to restrain the occupants of a vehicle in their seats when the vehicle hits an obstacle:                Three-point seat belt: In motoring history, this is the single most significant advance. All credit goes to Volvo’s Nils Bolin for devising it and to Volvo for introducing it in 1959. The three-pointer afforded unrivaled restraint. Its use was a quick, easy one-handed operation. Many improvements have been made to the webbing, mountings, latches, and inertia reels and belts have got smarter in relating to accident severity and occupant weight. In the present day vehicles, seat belts have become mandatory for the driver and front passenger. Some vehicles have seat belts for rear passengers also.                Seat belt pre-tensioner: A spring-loaded or explosive device that reacts to a severe frontal impact by automatically snugging the seat belt tight for fully effective re

What Is Nvh ???

What Is Nvh ? Noise:                Noise is defined as an unpleasant or unexpected sound created by a vibrating object. Vibration:                Vibration is defined as any objectionable repetitive motion of an object, back-and-forth or up-and-down. Harshness:                Harshness is defined as an aggressive suspension feel or lack of “give” in response to a single input. Noise and Vibration Theory:                A vibrating object normally produces sound, and that sound may be an annoying noise. In the case where a vibrating body is the direct source of noise (such as combustion causing the engine to vibrate), the vibrating body or source is easy to find. In other cases, the vibrating body may generate a small vibration only. This small vibration may cause a larger vibration or noise due to the vibrating body’s contact with other parts. When this happens, attention focuses on where the large vibration or noise occurs while the real source often escapes notice.                 A
