XX W. - PROTOTYP FSO SYRENA ПАССАЖИРСКИЕ АВТОМОБИЛИ, ПОЛУЧЕННЫЕ В ИНСТИТУТЕ ОСЕННЕГО ТРАНСПОРТА В 50-Е ГОДЫ XX B. - ПРОТОТИП FSO SYRENA Abstract The article presents and characterizes the results of road tests that the prototype of the FSO Syrena passenger car underwent at the Motor Transport Institute (ITS) in Warsaw in 1955. The final report from the tests carried out at MTI, kept in the archives, was subject to a detailed analysis and the conclusions have been presented in this article. The road tests carried out at MTI in 1955 served the FSO engineers in designing the series-production version of the Syrena car, whose production started in 1957. The FSO Syrena, over almost 30 years, was the first popular car for hundreds of thousands of Polish families, and today it has become a legendary vehicle, synonymous with the motoring of the PPR's day. Keywords: passenger cars, popular car, prototype, Passenger Automobile Factory, FSO Syrena, road tests Streszczenie W artykule zaprezentowano i scharakteryzowano wyniki badań drogowych, które przeszedł w 1955 roku w Instytucie Transportu Samochodowego (ITS) w Warszawie, prototyp samo- chodu osobowego marki FSO Syrena. Przechowywane w archiwum sprawozdanie końcowe z przeprowadzonych w ITS badań poddano szczegółowej analizie, a wnioski zaprezento- wano w artykule. Badania drogowe przeprowadzone w ITS 1955 r. posłużyły inżynierom z FSO przy projektowaniu seryjnej wersji samochodu Syrena, którą rozpoczęto produkować w 1957 r. FSO Syrena, na przestrzeni niemal 30 lat, była pierwszym samochodem popular- nym dla setek tysięcy polskich rodzin, a dziś stała się pojazdem legendarnym, synonimem motoryzacji doby PRL.

Был подробно проанализирован окончательный отчет исследований, проведенных в ИТС, хранящихся в архивах, и выводы были представлены в статье. Дорожные испытания, проведенные в ITS 1955, служили инженерам FSO при разработке серийной версии автомобиля Syrena, который был запущен в 1958 году. FSO Syrena, почти 30 лет назад, был первым автомобилем, популярным для сотен тысяч польских семей, и сегодня он стал транспортным средством легендарный, синонимичный с автомобилем в день Польской Народной Республики.

  • Testing of the Torsional Stiffness of the Passenger Car Frame and Its Validation by Means of Finite Element Analysis
    The Archives of Automotive Engineering – Archiwum Motoryzacji Vol. 85, No. 3, 2019 83 TESTING OF THE TORSIONAL STIFFNESS OF THE PASSENGER CAR FRAME AND ITS VALIDATION BY MEANS OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS KRZYSZTOF PODKOWSKI1, ADRIAN MAŁCZUK2, ANDRZEJ STASIAK3, MACIEJ PAWLAK4 Abstract The paper presents the results of the conducted tests of torsional stiffness of the VOSCO S106 passenger car, as well as the validation process of these tests by means of numerical analyses using the FEM finite element method. The most important element of the vehicle structure is the part of the spatial frame or the safety cage. Engine, brake system, fuel system and steering system, suspension as well as body and parts, their mounting nodes, hinges, locks, etc. are attached to the frame. The frame must therefore have adequate strength to protect the driver in the event of a tipover or impact. The frame is usually made of steel pipes with the prescribed dimensions and strength according to regulations. The torsional stiffness of the vehicle chassis has a significant influence on its driveability and therefore is an important parameter to measure. In this article, the torsional stiffness of the vehicle frame is calculated experimentally, which was then verified by finite element analysis (FEM) using the Altair HyperWorks program. Keywords: vehicle torsional stiffness; FEM; FEA; validation; passive safety of the vehicle 1. Introduction To check the torsional stiffness of the frame experimentally, a special support structure has been made, and fastening brackets have been made to reduce displacement and ro- tation from all axes and directions [41]. A load was also applied and the deflection was measured using a dial indicator.

The history of the FSO as an enterprise shows, above all, the pitfalls of dependent development. It has, however, resulted in the training of a class of specialists and engineers for whom the implementation of foreign technologies and management cultures presented opportunities for self-advancement, redefi nitions of their identity, along with reconsiderations of the value and meaning of work.

  • The Return of the Twin
    The Return of the Twin! Fiat TwinAir Engine ! ! The twin cylinder engine that has prompted me to look into the history of the twin cylinder automobile engine is the Fiat TwinAir.! The Fiat TwinAir engine, available in some Fiat 500, Panda, and Alfa Romeo Miti's, uses an innovative valve gear technology to optimise performance and efficiency.! With only two cylinders with a total capacity of only 875 cc. and when turbocharged it produces 84 bhp.This in conjunction with an emission level of only 92g/Km, makes it outstanding and a pointer to future engine developments.! Its appropriate that the TwinAir, is produced by Fiat, as they had produced over four million twin cylinder engined cars since 1957.! The TwinAir is in no way related to those previous twins. These first of previous twins were produced for the rear engined 500 Nova, in 1957. An air-cooled parallel twin with a capacity of 479 cc, producing 17 bhp. In 1972 the 500, was joined by the 126, with a similar engine of 594 cc, reducing 23 bhp. This was produced until 1987, the 500, had been discontinued in 1977. The final Fiat twin, was 704 cc, water-cooled unit, producing 26 bhp. First fitted in the 126bis, produced from 1987 to 1992. This engine was available as an option in some markets in the Cinquecento 700, model, produced between 1992 and 1998.! ! ! The Return of the Twin Cylinder Engine into Mainstream Motoring.! ! Since 1998 until the advent of the TwinAir, the twin cylinder engined car has been missing from the mainstream manufacturers showrooms.

  • Gran Turismo 5 As of Today Sony Has Announced the Full Gran Turismo 5
    Gran Turismo 5 As of today Sony has announced the full Gran Turismo 5 car list. It consists of 10000 cars. At launch it will only have 340 cars while the others will be developed in the future. Polyphony Digital will also develop cars for individual clients. That means in the future we could have any car put into the game for a special price. Of course the damage model will be not present in GT5. Below we are attaching the nearly official car list of GT5.

    Basic motoring The Evolution of the Modern Ultralight Economy car. Honda Zest Preface I began writing this book because no one else has covered the subject comprehensively, there are a lot of books and web pages on individual models that go into minute often extremely boring details but there is nothing to link all of this class of car together that show how the modern ultralight economy car we use today has evolved. First I must explain what I mean by the rather long winded term ultralight economy car. The type of car or if you prefer automobile, that I refer to below can be classified today by many labels, minicar, economy car, city car, mini compact if you are from USA or an A-segment mini car if you are a European official. None of these describe exactly the type of car I have included in this text. Yes, they were economy cars but very small economy cars with an engine capacity range with some latitude; from 360 cc to 1000 cc. Some could be classed as mini or city cars but not all are and some could be classed as microcars, but they were and are all a relatively low cost form of transport for a great many millions of people around the world in the past and increasingly so today. Page 1 Basic Motoring Austin Voiturette 1909 Introduction. Before the advent of the autobahn, autostrada and motorway, most European urban based car owners and most of those living in the country were content to drive around at a moderate speed, which was all that road conditions would allow.
