  • Design and Impact Analysis of a Car Door. In
    International OPEN ACCESS Journal Of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) Design and Impact Analysis of a Car Door M. Raghuveer1, Ganti Satya Prakash2 1M.Tech student, Dept of Mech. Engg, CMR Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, IN 2 Asst. prof, Dept of Mech. Engg, CMR Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, IN Abstract: Car door is one of the main parts which are used as protection for passengers from side collisions. Presently steel is used for car doors construction. The aim of the project is to analyze the car door with presently used material steel and replacing with composite materials like Aluminum, Carbon Epoxy, S-glass epoxy, E-Glass epoxy. Impact analysis is conducted on door for different speeds by varying the materials. Best of the result we will consider for the door design. Also we are going to reduce weight of the door by using composite materials replacing with steel. By this we have to reduce the damage percentage of the car and passenger protection. In this project, the Car door is modeled using parametric modeling software Pro/Engineer. Pro/ENGINEER is the standard in 3D product design, featuring industry-leading productivity tools that promote best practices in design. We have to variety the materials of the car door and speed to impacting of door. Keywords: We are doing impact analysis in the software COSMOS (SOLID WORKS). I. Introduction The A vehicle door is a type of door, typically hinged, but sometimes attached by other mechanisms such as tracks, in front of an opening which is used for entering and exiting a vehicle.

  • A Line Made by Walking and Assembling Bits and Pieces of the Bodywork of Illegally Dumped Cars Found at the Edge of Roads and Tracks in the Illawarra Escarpment
    A Line Made By Walking and Assembling Bits and Pieces of the Bodywork of Illegally Dumped Cars Found at the Edge of Roads and Tracks in the Illawarra Escarpment Brogan Bunt April 2013 (broganbunt.net) INTRODUCTION These are set of blog posts enmeshed in an overall project that responds to aspects of my local environment. I live in Wollongong at the base of Mt Keira and at the edge of the Illawarra escarpment bush. At the top of my driveway, looking southeast, I can see the Port Kembla steelworks just a few kilometres away, spewing smoke and flames. But turn the other way, towards the west, and I’m facing thick green temperate rainforest. This hardly, however, constitutes a pure contrast between nature and human industry. The escarpment bush is no pristine wilderness. It was extensively logged a century ago and is now full of feral deer, rampant weeds and all manner of gently and brutally inscribed human traces. Despite this, the escarpment retains a strange resilience. It always strikes me as wonderful that I can head out my door and be immersed in this steep, green and leechy space for hours at a time without encountering anything that remotely resembles a suburban street. I often wander up to the high ridges, following slight trails and risking becoming benighted or lost. This project is an excuse to make something more of this experience, to explore its potential relation to dimensions of artistic practice. My specific focus is in pursuing a minor sculptural intervention, or at least in performing a specific sculptural act – cutting pieces out of illegally dumped cars.

This Note examines New York v. Class within the context of a trend toward erosion offourth amendment rights. The author asserts that Class was inconsistent with precedent, and proposes a state statute that would guarantee the protectionsheld inapplicable under the federal Constitution.

  • Edmunds Employees Put to the Tire Pressure Test
    11/30/2016 Edmunds Employees Put to the Tire Pressure Test Edmunds Employees Put to the Tire Pressure Test Survey Shows Even the Experts Underinflate Their Tires, Reducing Fuel Economy and Safety Updated: 05/05/2009 ­ by Philip Reed, Senior Consumer Advice Editor Email Print Tweet Comments (0) Tire Pressure Gauge All employees at Edmunds.com were given a tire gauge and asked to check and adjust their tire pressure. | March 19, 2010 | Phillip Reed 1 of 5 View Full Screen http://www.edmunds.com/fuel­economy/edmunds­employees­put­to­the­tire­pressure­test.html 1/5 11/30/2016 Edmunds Employees Put to the Tire Pressure Test Picture freeways across the country jammed with millions of cars hurtling along at 70 mph and faster. Now picture this: Many of those cars are riding on dangerously underinflated tires, which wastes gas, wears out the tread prematurely and creates deadly driving situations. How underinflated are those tires? How much gas is wasted? That's what we wanted to find out as part of an Edmunds.com Earth Day project. We gave digital tire gauges to all our employees, asked them to check their tire pressure and report the levels to us. From the responses of more than 212 employees, here's what we found: Our employees' tires were underinflated by an average of 2.24 psi (pounds per square inch) or 7 percent — far better than the government's estimate of 26 percent (probably because so many Edmunds drivers are automotive enthusiasts). By filling their tires to the specified amount, our employees will save 5,820 gallons of gas a year (assuming they drive the national average of 15,000 miles a year).
