  • 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.

    AUTOMATIC TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS COMMUNICATON Prof. Mr. Prashant. G. Salunkhe 1, Mr. Harshal R. Kulthe 2, Mr. Saiprasad N. Kolhe 3, Mr. Ayaan A. Khan4 1 Guide Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, 2 3 4 Research Scholar, Sandip Foundation, SITRC College, Nasik, Maharashtra (India) ABSTRACT Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system that monitors the air pressure of an automobile tyre and alerts the driver by displaying the real pressure or just a warning light. This project is focused on designing and developing a direct TPMS which the measurement of the air pressure is taken directly using pressure sensor. Suitable components are researched to design the prototype. Main components needed are pressure sensor, voltage-to-frequency converter, transmitter, receiver, and frequency-to-voltage converter. To power the prototype, energy is chosen through wheel rotation. Main components need to be calibrated to ensure the consistency and precision of the prototype in reporting the pressure. Calibration for pressure sensor is performed by simply applying a known value of pressure and the output voltage is measured. For voltage-to- frequency and frequency to-voltage converters, a known value of voltage or frequency is applied and the output is monitored using voltmeter and oscilloscope. The results show promising data by proving the relationship between the input and output for each component. As for the conclusion, although there are many problems and limitations faced, this prototype is a promising product in real world application. I. INTRODUCTION Every year, many accidents occurred and for certain cases, accidents are caused by under-inflated tyres.

  • Development of a Steer Axle Tire Blowout Model For
    DEVELOPMENT OF A STEER AXLE TIRE BLOWOUT MODEL FOR TRACTOR SEMITRAILERS IN TRUCKSIM THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Krishnan Veeraraghavan Chakravarthy Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Dennis A. Guenther, Advisor Dr. Gary Heydinger Copyright by Krishnan Chakravarthy Veeraraghavan 2013 ABSTRACT Tractor Semitrailer handling is one of the key issues in today’s highway traffic safety research. When accidents happen with tractor semitrailers, possibilities of multiple vehicle crashes are always high. Thus it is important to study the handling and control of tractor trailers in accident scenarios. Tire blowout is one of the most common types of failure which may cause vehicle crashes. With experimental testing for such studies being expensive, vehicle dynamic simulation goes a long way in supplementing the capabilities of real field testing. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop a tire blowout model for a tractor semitrailer in TruckSim¬¬TM. Experimental data from a left steer axle tire blowout of a tractor trailer is considered for modeling. The effect of tire blowout on vehicle dynamic aspects of the tire like rolling resistance, effective rolling radius, vertical stiffness and other tire forces are studied. The tractor semitrailer model is developed from previously conducted braking simulation models in TruckSim. From the experimental data, the behavior of the tractor trailer and the left steer axle tire are studied. A tire blowout model for the left steer axle of the tractor is created within TruckSim for simulation.

  • Aircraft Tire Data
    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.
