Design of Reservoir Cylinder & Material selection
The reservoir must be stable non-reactive material; it is not subjected to any type of stress except when the cover plate is tightened the stress resulting from this tightening action can be neglected since it may not bring significant effect. Material selection The reservoir only stores the oil and is not subjected to any type…

Design of Main Cylinder
The basic function of the hydraulic cylinder is to convert fluid power into linear machine lift force at that time the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure of the fluid or oil. Since the internal pressure should be high enough to sustain the load then the cylinder must be a heavy-duty cylinder which is expected…

Piston Head Design
The head of the thickness is taken as a uniform circular flat plate. The pressure of the oil acts up in the plate uniformly. We can select the material that we have used in the piston rod using the previous mechanical property. Design analysis of piston head We can use the following equation to find…

Design of Piston and Piston Head
Piston rod is made of high tensile Stainless steel materials with chromium plating to avoid corrosion and wear. The selection of materials depends on the buckling of the piston rod. Material selection; Grade ASTM-A36Yield strength σy = 250 MpaShear strength τ = 145 MpaModulus of elasticity = 200Gpa Objectives To check the safety of the piston by comparison of…

Types of Suspension System
There are three types of height adjustable suspension which are: Mechanical System This system needs manual adjustment to which can be used to vary a vehicle ride height. Pneumatic System Air has been used on vehicles at varying frequencies and with mixed success. Air systems can also be used as a means of achieving height…

Tire Dynamics
At present, two groups of models can be identified, handling models and structural or high frequency models. Structural tire models like RMOD-K or F Tire are very complex. These models are computer time consuming and they need a lot a data. Handling models like the MF-formula or TMeasy rely also on measured and observed force-slip…

Construction of Tire
A tire provides a cushion between the vehicle and the road, reducing shocks. This effect is provided by compressed air present in the tire. Radial ply tires are best for use. Tire Tread Designs Tires generally fall into one of the following categories: Cross-Ply Tires In developed countries, cross-ply tires are no longer in use…

Tires
Introduction The tires are one of the vital functional elements of the automobile for transmission of various forces (vertical, lateral and longitudinal) between the automobile and the ground. The properties of the tires must be predictable by the driver and be constant throughout the traction. Most of the modern applications use pneumatically inflated tires to…
