  • Prestone Ebook Winter Driving 3
    A Prestone ebook: WINTER DRIVING Of all the seasons, winter creates the most challenging driving conditions, and can be extremely tough on your car. Treacherous weather coupled with dark evenings can make driving hazardous, so it’s vital you ready yourself and your car before the season takes hold. From heavy rain to ice and snow, winter will throw all sorts of extreme weather your way — so it’s best to be prepared. By checking the condition of your car and changing your driving style to adapt to the hazardous conditions, you can keep driving no matter how extreme the weather becomes. To help you stay safe behind the wheel this season, here’s an in-depth guide on the dos and don’ts of winter driving. From checking your vehicle’s coolant/antifreeze to driving in thick fog, heavy rain and high winds — this guide is packed with tips and advice on driving in even the most extreme winter weather. PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE FOR WINTER DRIVING Keeping your car in a good, well maintained condition is important throughout the year, but especially so in winter. At a time when extreme weather can strike at any moment, your car needs to be prepared and ready for the worst. The following checks will help to make sure your car is ready for even the toughest winter conditions. COOLANT / ANTIFREEZE Whatever the weather, your car needs coolant/antifreeze all year round to make sure the engine doesn’t overheat or freeze up. By adding a quality coolant/antifreeze to your engine, it’ll be protected in all extremes — from -37°C to 129°C and you’ll also be protected against corrosion.

  • Use of Snow Chains
    Use of Snow Chains The use of tire snow chains and the criteria for when to apply them varies widely throughout the county. Improperly applied snow chains have caused significant damage to the apparatus and delayed the response of units. This memorandum is intended to provide guidance on the use of snow chains during various types of inclement weather. In general there are two types of chains in use in the county: 1. Permanently installed “On-Spot” chains. 2. Standard removable tire chains. Permanently mounted “On-Spot” chains or “automatic chains”, consist of short lengths of snow chain attached to a small drive wheel that, when activated, contacts the inside tire of the rear duals. These devices rely on centrifugal force to throw the lengths of chain under the tire. Depending on need, these chains can be raised or lowered from the cab of the apparatus. For best operation these chains should be engaged while the unit is moving. These chains work well when the apparatus can maintain slow but steady speeds, such as in shallow snow or on intermittently clear or covered roadways. These chains will not work well in deep snow or when conditions bring the apparatus to a crawl. DO NOT drive faster than 30 mph when you are using “On-Spot” chains! RAISE the chains anytime that they are not absolutely necessary. Driving at higher speeds for prolonged periods will damage or destroy the “On-Spot” assembly and will cause tire damage that may lead to failure. Removable standard tire chains, also known as “drop chains”, are applied manually to the outside tire of the rear duals.

  • Estudio De Un Sistema Aerodinámico Activo En Automóviles: Control Y Automatización Del Sistema
    TRABAJO FINAL DE GRADO Grado en Ingeniería Mecánica ESTUDIO DE UN SISTEMA AERODINÁMICO ACTIVO EN AUTOMÓVILES: CONTROL Y AUTOMATIZACIÓN DEL SISTEMA Memoria y Anexos Autor: Antonio Rodríguez Noriega Director: Sebastián Tornil Convocatoria: Junio 2018 Estudio de un sistema aerodinámico activo en automóviles: control y automatización del sistema Resumen A lo largo de este proyecto se tratará el diseño desde cero de un sistema de aerodinámica activa para automóviles. El proceso consta de tres partes diferenciadas: el estudio aerodinámico, donde se caracteriza la interacción fluidodinámica de un perfil alar; el estudio mecánico, donde se diseña el conjunto de mecanismos que forman el sistema mecánico, así como su posterior validación; y la automatización y el control del sistema, donde se modeliza el comportamiento del vehículo y se implementa en un sistema electrónico de control regulado. Estas partes se presentan como tres Trabajos Finales de Grado distintos relacionados entre sí. En esta memoria se desarrolla la tercera de ellas: la automatización y el control del sistema. El objetivo principal ha sido completar la fase de diseño de un sistema que mejore el comportamiento dinámico de un vehículo de carácter deportivo en el mayor número posible de situaciones. Esto se ha conseguido variando la repartición de cargas normales por rueda a partir de la modificación de las características geométricas del propio conjunto aerodinámico, mediante el uso de actuadores lineales regulados por un sistema de control en función de las condiciones del automóvil en tiempo real. I Memoria Resum Durant el transcurs d’aquest projecte es tractarà el disseny des de zero d’un sistema d’aerodinàmica activa per a automòbils.

The benefits of a 4WD architecture are presented along with the tools for further optimization and understanding. The goal is to provide real, actionable information to teams deciding to pursue 4WD vehicles and quantify the results of difficult engineering tradeoffs. Analytical bicycle models are used to discuss the effect of the Center of Gravity location on vehicle performance, and Acceleration-Velocity Phase Space (AVPS) is introduced as a useful tool for optimization.
