Design Calculation of Section Modulus of Car Hood/Bonnet

  MODULUS OF ELASTICITY: The ratio of stress to strain or the stiffness of the material of a structural member (resistance to deformation). Essentially, the modulus of elasticity is a more general term regarding the overall stiffness of a member. E= Modulus of Elasticity. If E increases, then the stiffness increases. MOMENT OF INERTIA: There are two types of moment of inertia; mass moment of inertia and area moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a Mass (I) Defined as the sum of the products of the mass (m) of each particle of the body the square of its perpendicular distance (r) from the axis is mathematically represented as I = mr² The mass distribution of a body of rotating particles from the axis of rotation is represented by the moment of inertia. The value of the moment of inertia is independent of the forces involved and depends only on the body geometry and position from the axis of rotation. The mass moment of inertia for rotation is analogous to ma...

Design of Car Hood using NX- Cad

  Design of Car Hood      What is Hood and its design considerations: A Hood or Bonnet is a part of the automotive vehicle which gives the aesthetic look to the automobile and also helps as an enclosure to the various engine components and sensors and it is an airtight cover that protects the internal components. The bonnet system is an access panel to the engine compartment to enable maintenance of the power train, drive belts, batteries, fluid levels, and lamp units. It is fundamentally a reinforced skin panel with many safety and quality requirements.                                                             The design of the hood consists of the following parts: a) ...

UNDER BODY COATINGS OF AUTOMOBILE

UNDER BODY COATINGS OF AUTOMOBILE Body in white (BIW) is the stage in the automobile manufacturing in which a car body's frame has been joined together, that is before painting and before the motor, chassis sub-assemblies, or trim (glass, door locks/handles, seats, upholstery, electronics, etc.) have been integrated into the structure. Assembly involves different techniques such as welding (spot, MIG/MAG), riveting, clinching, bonding, and laser brazing. Automotive Underbody Coatings The underside of vehicles serves as an intermediate between the metal components of a vehicle and the outer environment. The underbody of vehicles is prone to damage due to harsh environmental conditions. Coatings are applied to the underside of vehicles to protect them against factors such as corrosion, chemicals, moisture, water damage, and chipping of the underbody. Automotive underbody coatings offer a protective layer to vehicles’ undersides. Most of these coatings provide chemical and corro...

Design of Car Front fender Using NX-Cad

  Design of Car Front fender Fenders/ Quarter Panel:- Fender is a word derived from American English. An automobile fender is a rigid vehicle panel that houses the wheel well. It forms an arch that is designed to protect the wheel and prevent road debris such as rocks, sand, and mud from being thrown into the air by the spinning tire. A pair of front and rear fenders can be found on each side of a vehicle. Aside from keeping your vehicle clean, car fenders protect vital components from minor collisions. They also help define the car's overall style and design. They provide classy contours that give your car a classy, edgy look, especially when your vehicle is viewed from the side. They also help improve your car's aerodynamics, so your car is not only cleaner but also faster. In British English, the fender is called the wing (this may refer to either the front or rear fenders. However, in modern unibody vehicles, rear fenders may also be called quarter panels.) The equi...
