Experimental, Analytical and Numerical Study of Energy Absorption Properties of Aluminum Crush Boxes with and without Buckling Initiators (Axial Loading)
Abstract: The crashworthiness in automobile is stated as the capability of a passenger car and its interior arrangements to safe-guard occupants from harm. Whenever an accident occurs, the passengers in the car can be injured due to one of the following reasons: (1) excess acceleration force; (2) physical injury from contact with injurious surfaces, and; (3) exposed to fire, smoke, and chemicals released during accidents. Thus effective crashworthiness design must take …

Study on Stress Analysis of Araldite HY-951 and CY-230 Bell Crank Lever using Photoelasticity and FEM
Abstract: Bell Crank Lever is a bar capable of turning about a fixed point, used as a machine to lift the load by the application of small effort. Bell Crank Lever is used in railway signaling, governors of Hartnell type, the drive for the air pump of condensers, etc. The major stresses induced in the Bell Crank Lever at the fulcrum are bending stress and fulcrum pin is shear stress. The …

Effect of Pad and Disc Materials on the Behaviour of Disc Brake against Fluctuating Loading Conditions
Abstract: Disc brake in an automobile plays an important role to control the vehicle during running condition. Recently, asbestos, which is widely used disc brake material is recognised as a carcinogenic material by world health organisation and has been banned throughout the world to eliminate the diseases caused by asbestos material. Therefore, people are looking towards suitable alternatives to replace asbestos with other alternative materials. In this work, an attempt is …

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Thin Wall Ductile Iron
Abstract: Currently many cast parts are produced in aluminum rather than cast iron, because of the drive to get high strength /weight ratio for application in automobile and aerospace. Ductile Iron casting of approximately 2-3mm section thickness better known as Thin wall ductile iron (TWDI) having high strength /weight ratio and better mechanical properties than Aluminum alloys. The effect of various parameters like, post inoculation, gating and feeding, moulding sand mix …
