In this respect and beside all technical and physical aspects, the human factor plays a major role for the development of this Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) integral assistance concept. Basis for the assist the driver during the driving task to improve development of this assistance concept were subject the driving comfort and therefore indirectly traffic driver vehicle tests to study the typical driver safety, ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is a typical behavior in emergency situations. Objective example for a “Comfort ADAS” system. “Safety was on the one hand to analyze the relevant ADAS” directly target the improvement of safety, parameters influencing the driver decision for brake such as a forward collision warning or other and/or steer maneuvers. On the other hand the systems which assist the driver during an evaluation should result in a proposal for a emergency situation. A typical application for a preferable test setup, which can be used for use case “Safety ADAS” is EBA (Emergency Brake Assist), evasion and/or braking tests to clearly evaluate the which additionally integrates information of benefit of the system and the acceptance of normal surrounding sensors into the system function. drivers.

  • Subframe Design General
    Subframe design General General The subframe can be used for the following purposes: • It provides clearance for wheels and other parts which protrude above the frame. • It provides rigidity and reduces the stress in the rear overhang. • It protects the chassis frame by distributing the load from the bodywork evenly over a larger area of the chassis frame. • It contributes to dampening frame oscillations that cause discomfort. To adapt the subframe to the torsionally flexible part of the chassis frame, the sub- frame should also be torsionally flexible, provided the bodywork allows it. There- fore, the side members and crossmembers of the subframe should consist mainly of open profiles, e.g. U-profiles. 376 530 More information on chassis frames is found in the document Chassis frames. More information on chassis frames and subframes is found in the document Select- ing the subframe and attachment. More information on the concepts of torsional rigidity and torsional flexibility is found in the document Forces and movements. Scania Truck Bodybuilder 22:10-649 Issue 2 2016-09-02 © Scania CV AB 2016, Sweden 1 (8) Subframe design General The subframe can appear differently depending on the characteristics required. The subframe length can vary. It can cover the whole chassis frame or be short and only cover part of the chassis frame. The height of the chassis frame can be adjusted to the current area of application. 376 541 Example of a subframe. Scania Truck Bodybuilder 22:10-649 Issue 2 2016-09-02 © Scania CV AB 2016, Sweden 2 (8) Subframe design General Side members The subframe’s side members are usually manufactured from U-profiles, just as the chassis frame’s side members.

An Abstract of Design, Analysis and Optimization of Rear Sub-frame using Finite Element Modeling and Modal Analysis by Gaurav Kesireddy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering The University of Toledo May 2017 A sub-frame is a structural component of an automobile that carries suspension, exhaust, engine room, etc. The sub-frame is generally bolted to Body in White(BIW). It is sometimes equipped with springs and bushes to dampen vibration. The principal purposes of using a sub-frame are, to spread high chassis loads over a wide area of relatively thin sheet metal of a monocoque body shell, and to isolate vibration and harshness from the rest of the body. As a natural development from a car with a full chassis, separate front and rear sub-frames are used in modern vehicles to reduce the overall weight and cost. In addition, a sub-frame yields benefits to production in that subassemblies can be made which can be introduced to the main body shell when required on an automated line.

  • GM S10 Late Rear Disc Brake Conversion Fitment
    GM S10 Late Rear Disc Brake Conversion Fitment • 92-03 S-series Trucks • 93-04 Some F-Body Even if your model is listed above, if it does not have the flange shown here, then the kit will not fit. Note: The flange can be measured easily from the back side of the drum, without removing anything. Dimensions Warning • Disc brakes should only be installed by someone experienced and competent in the installation and maintenance of disc brakes. • If you are not sure of how to safely use this brake component or kit, you should not install or use it. • Do not assume anything. Improperly installed or maintained brakes are dangerous. If you are not sure, get help or return the product. Notes • As with most suspension and tire modifications (from OEM specifications), changing the brakes may alter the front to rear brake bias. Your specific needs will depend on other modifications to the system. • For added user control, the factory proportioning valve can be swapped to an adjustable proportioning valve such as Wilwood 260-10922. Installation of a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve will require brake line work on your end to install since it is not a direct swap. • The brackets in this kit are designed to be installed without removing the differential cover. This can be done by use of a cut-off wheel or reciprocating saw to split the drum backing plate into two pieces for removal. If you wish to retain your drum backing plates, the axles can be removed from the housing by draining the fluid, then removing the differential cover, cross pin, and C-clip retainers.
