  • What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims
    What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims Over the past 100 years, tires, and the wheels that support them, have gone through significant changes as a result of technical innovations in design, technology and materials. No single factor affects the handling and safety of a car’s ride more than the tire and the wheel it is mounted on and how the two work together as a unit. One nagging question that has been the subject of a lot of anecdotal evidence, speculation, and even more widespread rumor is whether rims designed for Bias ply tires can handle the stresses placed on them by Radial ply tires. And the answer is - it depends. It depends on how the rim was originally designed and built as well as whether the rim has few enough cycles on it, and how it has been driven. But most importantly it depends upon the construction of the tire and how it transmits the vehicle's load to where the rubber meets the road. In this paper, we want to educate you on the facts - not the wives tales or just plain bad information - about how Bias and Radial tires differ in working with the rim to provide a safe ride. Why is there a possible rim concern between Radial and Bias Tires? The fitting of radial tires, to wheels and rims originally designed for bias tires, is an application that may result in rim durability issues. Even same-sized bias and radial tires stress a rim differently, despite their nearly identical dimensions.

ABSTRACT. Automobile have various parts which are important for good running of the vehicle. The most important safety components from a structural point of view are the road wheels. They are required to be lighter and more fascinating to the buyer all the time. This implies that it's important to perform a lot of accurate strength assessment on wheel styles. The wheel rim plays a major role in vehicle dynamics. This paper deals with the design and model of different wheel rims based on weight optimization and also structural analysis has been carried out. It has been compared with standard values by varying two different materials. In addition, from the obtained outputs of simulations and the weight optimization, we suggested Aluminium alloys as most suitable material for SUV. Model is created by using SOLIDWORKS software 2015 and structural analysis & weight optimization is done by using ANSYS WORKBENCH 16.0. 1 INTRODUCTION by considered two different materials namely Aluminum and forged steel and their relative performances have A sport or suburban utility vehicle (SUV) is similar to a been observed respectively.

  • Ceramic Disc Brake Were Developed and Tested by Porsche for Their Model Porsche 911Turbo in 1990
    1.1 INTRODUCTION One of the most important control systems of an automobile is Brake system. They are required to stop the vehicle within the smallest possible distance and it is done by converting kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat energy which is dissipated into atmosphere. The main requirements of brakes are given below:- The brakes must be strong enough to stop the vehicle within the minimum possible distance in an emergency. But this should also be consistent with safety. The driver must have a proper control over the vehicle during emergency braking and the vehicle must not skid. The brakes must have good antifade characteristics and their effectiveness should not decrease with constant prolonged application. The actual stopping distance of vehicle while braking depends on the following factors:- 1. Vehicle speed 2. Condition of the road surface 3. Condition of tyre 4. Coefficient of friction between the tyre and the road surface 5. Coefficient of friction between the brake drum/disc and brake lining pad 6. Braking force applied by the driver 1.2 HISTORY Disc-style brakes development and use began in England in the 1890s. The first caliper-type automobile disc brake was patented by Frederick William Lanchester in his Birmingham, UK factory in 1902 and used successfully on Lanchester cars. However, the limited choice of metals in this period meant that it had to use copper as the braking medium acting on the disc. The poor state of the roads at this time, no more than dusty, rough tracks, meant that the copper wore quickly making the disc brake system non- viable.

    OVERVIEW Ram cab chassis and pickups can be ordered with a Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System. (sales code XG9) The system uses tire pressure sensors mounted in the trailer tires that communicate wirelessly with a module mounted near the rear of the truck. The module communicates individual tire pressure status to the cluster and the cluster will display the tire pressure of each trailer tire in the correct trailer position on a menu screen in the EVIC. Tire locations and pressure thresholds can be programmed into the system. Audio and visual indicators alert you if any of the tires have dropped below that threshold. The system is capable of discerning up to 12 tires on up to 3 axles per configured trailer on up to 4 configurable trailers. The factory system is supplied with 4 sensors. Addition sensors can be purchased through any Ram dealer. The customer is responsible for installing the sensors into the trailer tires and programming the system. All sensor pairing and system programming is done on the radio. The system is only available with the 8.4 inch and 12 inch radios. On 2500/3500 pickup trucks, (DJ and D2) the in-cab controls, chassis wiring and TPM receiver module have been factory installed. The module is located behind the rear license plate. A kit containing all required hardware for the sensor installation is provided and can be found in the cab of the vehicle. On 3500/4500/5500 chassis cabs, (DF, DD and DP) the in-cab controls and chassis wiring have been factory installed.
