and Three Wheeled Vehicles as per Ais - 073(Part 1&2)”
Project Guide : Amit K. Karwal
Key Words : Abstract - “This is a theoretical modelling and design project of radial load testing of wheel rims for two and three wheeled vehicles as per AIS 073(Part 1&2). This Radial fatigue test simulates the forces of load that the wheel experiences with a tire mounted and carrying the weight of the vehicle, passengers and or cargo. This rig mainly consists of two parts, a rotating drum that will provide a free rotation to the testing wheel (simulating the road) and a force applying mechanism which will provide necessary radial force to the wheel. The dynamic radial fatigue test is intended to simulate a radial overload by having a constant load on the wheel rotating on a drum. The driven rotatable drum, whose axis is parallel to the axis of the test wheel, presents a smooth surface wider than the section width of the loaded test tire section width. The test wheel and tire provide loading normal to the surface of drum and in line radially with the centre of test wheel and the drum. After being subjected to the required number of test cycles, there shall be no evidence of failure of the wheel, as indicated by propagation of a crack existing prior to test, no visible cracks penetrating through a section, or the inability of the wheel to sustain load. In this project, I have studied the standard AIS 073(part 1&2), and designed a radial fatigue load test rig for two and three wheeled vehicle. This project contains, design calculations, part drawings, assembly drawing (using Auto CAD), 3D modelling (using Pro-E), making Bill of Quantity (BOQ) and understanding procurement procedure at iCAT.”

Mrs. Medha Jambhale“ Keywords : Abstract - “Every vehicle manufacturer needs to prove its vehicle worthiness for different driving styles and driving conditions in order to succeed against its competitive peers. A vehicle must undergo durability check of all components/sub-assemblies under these different conditions. A manufacturer has various options to check structural adequacy of various components on the vehicle. Road tests, Service load acquisition on proving grounds, Test rigs (4 Poster Simulation), Virtual Proving Grounds (Any MBD software), Virtual Test Rigs (Any MBD Software). In this dissertation work it is planned to compare the results obtained from Service load acquisition on proving grounds to that of 4 poster simulation. Initially with the help of various statistical parameters like Standard deviation, Skewness, Kurtosis, Time at Level etc to comprehend data acquired during proving ground testing. Later similar exercise would be carried out on 4 poster simulation results. Second stage would to be to carry out spectral analysis (Frequency Analysis) on both results and further compare them to understand the critical location among the various locations. Finally damage along with fatigue life would be predicted using n-code software individually and compared. This dissertation work would thus help in corroborating results of possible failures resulting in accelerated 4 poster durability simulation to road tests. It would also help predicting fatigue life of various vehicle parts independently both on 4 poster as well as test tracks. A further comparison of the predicted life would enhanceate the findings in both the cases.“

Title : Data Acquisition And Its Correlation With Mathematical Modeling For Suspension Study
Project Guide : Mr. M. R. Saraf , Mr. Prashant R. Pawar
Key Words :
Abstract - “One of the important phases on the vehicle development process is the field durability test. The study of the dynamic behavior of a vehicle due to the service loads that it will experience on the field is very important which is the main aim of this project. This project concentrates on vehicle dynamics study mainly on ride characteristics of vehicle. The term ride is commonly used in reference to tactile and visual vibrations. A systematic treatment of a vehicle as a dynamic system best starts with the basic properties of vehicle on its suspension system that is motion of body and axle. To study the effects of suspension parameters on motion of body, mathematical model of suspension for quarter car (front right corner) was builded in simulink environment. To verify its significance with the actual suspension system of vehicle its results were correlated with the field work. Accelerometers are calibrated and mounted on vehicle chassis. Vehicle was run on test track and data was acquired through accelerometer. Portion of the same test track was post processed and given as a input to mathematical model of vehicle. This mathematical output was then correlated with the actual field acceleration values for that particular patch. It was seen that both the results match with each other. As both the results were matching mathematical model was further used to study the effects of suspension parameters on sprung mass acceleration. Individual parameter was varied within the feasible range and its trend was studied to improve the ride of vehicle. At the end both the suspension parameters are optimized simultaneously and ride was observed to be improved further.”

Title : Optimization Of Rear Drum Brake Back Plate For Strength
Project Guide : Shri. BhagatSing N. Khot
Key Words :
Abstract - “Brakes are the indispensable components in an automobile. The torque produced during braking is higher than that of the acceleration during full throttle in a vehicle. The torque generated is fully absorbed by the backing plate in the brake system. This backing plate is nothing but a steel plate, on which the essential braking components are mounted and also this acts as a bridge between the wheels and the drive system. This project deals with the design and analysis of the backing plate of rear drum brake.The project has three stages viz., 3D Modeling, FEA and Experimentation. The main motive of the project is that, a new backing plate is designed for the load requirements of the customer. There are some design enhancements in the new design. These slight variations in the design could reduce the stress developed in the critical areas of the component. There is no scope for literature review in this project, as this purely based on customer feed back. Expertise in the design software package is gained in the first stage of the work. Secondly, finite element technique is applied, again a software package for dividing the solid component into finite elements: Meshing. The criteria for meshing are taken care of. Then, the component is analyzed. The static analysis of the brake component is carried out. However, actual results could be simulated only in non-linear analysis. The stress and the displacement levels of the different designs are compared and the new design is validated. This preliminary FEA, thus gives a confidence to carry out the actual practical analysis.”

Title : Weight Optimization of the Cylinder Block and its Structural Analysis
Project Guide : Mr. Manish Jade
Key Words :
Abstract - Important objectives in engine development are the reduction of pollutants, the lowering of fuel consumption, and an important in performance. This target requires, in addition to other measures, consistent implementation of lightweight engineering techniques for all vehicles components. Reducing the engine block weight is one contribution to reducing weight of the entire drive train.Depending on the engine’s size, design, combustion principle and engine block design, the engine block accounts between 25 and 33% of the overall engine weight (as per DIN 702020 A). Reducing the engine block weight thus makes a vital contribution to reducing vehicle engine weight. The measures undertaken to reduce engine block weight can be subdivided into weight reduction can be subdivided in to weight reduction attained by optimizing the structures and weight reductions specific to the materials.

Title : Investigations Into Pass by Noise-Testing of Road Vehicles
Project Guide : Dr. M. N. Ambardekar AGM, ERC -NVH TATAMOTORS
Key Words :
Abstract - “NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) is an important vehicle attribute and focus in every Product Development at OEM’S (Original Equipment Manufacturers). Pass-by Noise is one of these aspects in order to improve’noise in’vehicle asa whole. There are various parameters known to effect the pass by noise levels of vehicles which include, the vehicle type, the vehicle approach speed, engine conditions like wind, ambient temperature, pavement temperature, humidity, Road surface characteristics like, poro sitylResidual void content, texture wavelength, and roughness, reflections due to boundaries around the track if any. In this thesis work, a series of Pass by Noise tests under different conditions were conducted, on two totally different tracks. It was observed that, there was a significant increase in the levels on one particular track. Vibration monitoring and Tire Noise levels using Close Proximity method were conducted on the tracks and their octave levels were studied in order to justify influence of three major factors, i. e.: wind, ambient temperature and road/tire interaction were analyzed. After a significant amount of data analysis, it was found that, with higher temperature, wind speeds the Overall Pass by noise levels increases, and further preliminary analysis on influence of Noise due to TirelRoad interaction on the differences in the pass by levels on both tracks have been done, and was found that TirelRoad interaction could also have contributed significantly to difference in the levels.“

If the Inaterial behavior can be predicted well in advance then it would help the engineers to select the optiInum _material for the give set of conditions without losing much time.. The various material characteristics that are found but through testing are the absorption coefficient. The current project focuses on developing an iInpedance tube test rig, designed according to the standard ISO 10534-2 (Two microphone Inethod). The acoustical properties of the sample material can be experimentally found out with the help of the test rig. This will in turn be helpful in validating the simulated values got as output from the simulation software. A Matlab program is also generated in order to calculate the absorption coefficient values from the experimental setup. Once the results from the simulation are validated with the experimental results, further work can be carried out in the simulation software to get desirable acoustic properties. This in turn eliminates the need of testing every time a new smnple is being made and there by reduces the development time. Another advantage is that, since the conditions at the site of application of the acoustic material are previously known, the material can be customized in the software according to the requirements of the application.”

Title : Assesment Of Aldehydes And Ketones For 2 & 3 Wheeled Vehicle Exhaust Using Various Fuels (Petrol, Diesel, Lpg, Cng, Ethanol, Biodiesel)
Project Guide : Vikas Sadan, Mr.U.D.Bangale
Key Words :
Abstract - “In this project we conduct mass emission test on 2 wheeled vehicles and 3 wheeled vehicles. An impinger storage system is connected along with the mass emission test setup while conducting the test and cartridges are also connected to the impinger storage system while conducting the test for collecting the samples of all target carbonyl compounds. In this project we conduct test on nine 2 wheeled vehicles and twenty four 3 wheeled vehicles. After conducting the test the cartridges are removed from the impinger storage system and kept in refrigerated condition of less than or equal to 40 degree Fahrenheit for HPLC analysis. Work done till now in the project are procurement of cartridges, procurement of fuel for testing and procurement of cool box for commuting the cartridges to the analysis centre. Two tests have been done as one on 2 wheeled vehicle and one on 3 wheeled vehicle and cartridges are kept refrigerated for HPLC analysis, since talks are going on between iCAT and Indian Oil Corporation Limited for HPLC analysis. The testing and analysis will be completed once the talks are finalized for analysis. By doing this project a database can be created for aldehyde and ketone emissions. This database can be used to frame regulation and emission control norms for aldehyde and ketone emissions when it is required.“

Project Guide :
Key Words :
Abstract - “Power train is the major source of noise and vibration in the vehicle along with road excitations and other vibration sources; hence, it plays an important role in NVH of the total vehicle. Low frequency vibrations like idle shake, start/stop, rigid body modes of power train during acceleration and cruising speeds has the large impact on total vehicle NVH. Hence, rigid body properties and rigid body modes are key factors in low frequency isolation and mount optimization for better NVH. Precise determination of rigid body properties is first requisite for Power train mount optimization. Determination of power train inertia properties by experimental means is very difficult, as the results are sensitive to data. The project discusses the methodology for rigid body properties and modes determination. In addition, it also describes the methodology for the calculation of mount dynamic Stiffness. Experimental methodologies for determination of rigid body properties by two different methods (Free - Free and In-situ) are developed to esta1?lish the power train rigid body properties. As well as the methodologies for determination of rigid body, modes and dynamic stiffness determination by experimental means are also established. Power rigid body modes predicted by FEA are correlated with the experimental outcomes for further NVH development. A power train test rig is prepared, methodology is validated by experimental, and FE means. In addition, this project describes importance of rigid body properties for vehicle refinement from NVH perspective.“

Title : Noise Source Identification Of Tractor Engine
Project Guide : Atul A. Gaikwad
Key Words : NVH,Engine Noise,Damping treatment
Abstract - This project presents tractor engine noise reduction using damping treatment. Noise source identification is carried out on engine in hemi anechoic chamber. Major noise sources observed are timing gear cover, oil pan and tappet cover which are mainly sheet metal components. The NVH performance of these components is analyzed by the use of “spatial transmissibility (TR)”. It is a measure of the spatial response of the component relative to the spatial response of the underlying structure to which it is connected. The cover transmissibility is computed through the finite element method and also measured by experimental testing. Various isolation systems have been examined and different materials have been investigated. The overall sound power reduction using damping material on these components is 2 to 3 dB (A).

Title : Interior Noise Refinement
Project Guide : Mr.Megavannan(ARAI)
Key Words : Transfer path Analysis, Sound Intensity mapping
Abstract - “Vehicle retinement is a process commonly discussed with following three terms such NVH(Noise, Vibration and Harshness), ride quality and drive ability. Of the three NVH is supposed to include noise suppression, noise design ( altering the character of not necessarily the its level), vibration suppression and suppression of squeaks, rattles and tizzes. But the critical stage in the product refinement process is tlrio-cate(llld~uantify-thevarioussources that contributes to the overall problem. The proj ect aims at determining sources of vehicle interior noise using source dentification technique and implementing transfer path analysis (TPA) as a method of approach along with baseline measurement to achieve possible reduction in interior noise level. To increase the comfort and to reduce the interior noise either we have to attack source or path as receiver is not to be compromised for interior noise in motor vehicle. To identify the sources, sound intensity mapping, a technique of source identification is used and to identify the- dominant path, Transfer path analysis (TPA) based approach is implemented, hence if the dominant path is identified then possibilities of noise reduction can be achieved. Additionally effectiveness of intake, exhaust and mounting systems’ are identified. Further recommendations for reducing noise also is made with help of this study as optimization of mounts, exhaust and body panels including floor. But limitation with this study is transfer path analysis is implemented only for structural transfer path not for acoustic transfer path which is considered as to be taken care in future.“

Abstract - “Distinct advantage of diesel engines in commercial vehicles category is higher therfnal efficiency leading to superior fuel consumption and hence lower CO2 emissions. However, attempts to use diesel engines as power plants have been hampered by the associated increase in toxic emissions like PM and NOx. EURO IV regulations are a way out of the above problem as they pose very stringent limits on these emissions.This project is undertaken to upgrade an existing 2.6L LCV BSIII to BSIV configuration by optimizing the combustion and exhaust systems. The following distinctive areas were focused on: Redefined combustion design - bowl shape, higher cooled EGR rates. High injection pressures (1600 bar). Low compression ratio, in the order of 17.5 and high peak firing pressures. Multiple injection strategy - with post injection for soot burn of Various DOC and POC combinations The optimum matching of combustion chamber design including the injection system characteristics along with proper exhaust system optimization leads to a very good trade-off between performance and emission. This paper outlines the combustion and exhausts system optimization and describes their relevant characteristics.“

Project Guide : Mr. A.V.Mannikar
Key Words :
Abstract - “Today knowledge of the Vehicle Centre of Gravity Position is very important for the Design Engineers for the calculation of vehicle performance parameters including the handling characteristics of ground Vehicles and the roll-over assessment of street vehicles. Although for some vehicle dynamic applications, an estimation of a vehicle’s centre of gravity can be suffice. For other applications, such as vehicle models and simulations used for vehicle development, these values should be as accurate as possible. The primary objective of this project is focused on the experimental measurement and calculation of the passenger bus centre of gravity. The methodology used for the measurement and calculation is based on Geneva Regulation Number 66-01, which requires a previous validation prior to a new type of bus roll out by the company. The various techniques for measurement and calculation of vehicle’s centre of gravity were also studied as well. After analyzing the CG locations exercises for two different company manufactured passenger bus, it was observed that for two coordinates (X and Y) the values are accurate and good but for the Z coordinate, the CG Height value is fairly high with error. The detail suggestions are complied for improvement for the same.“

Abstract - “Gearbox and clutch are the major component of the power train so it needs to be design and evaluate accurately. Vehicle performance is depending upon the gear ratios selection; these ratios are selected such that they will follow the geometric progression. Matching of the gearbox with particular engine is really important because from this we come to know that the vehicle having, how much gradieablity in lowest gear and how much the maximum speed of the vehicle achieved in top gear. Gears are used to transmit the power as well as motion. They must have sufficient bending strength as well as wear strength so that they should withstand for required torque value. We have developed the procedure and methodology, which is used to find out the beam strength as well as wear strength of different types of gear. Other components of gear box such as Shaft, bearing, bush, casing and clutch life also being estimated.“

Key Words : Ohc, 3D Dynamic Model, Multi Body Dyamics, Simulation, Stiffness
Abstract - “A 3D dynamic model has been developed to investigate the dynamic response of an overhead cam (OHC) valve train system byconsidering the interaction between valve train and camshaft. The speed fluctuation resulting from torsional vibration of the camshaft affect the dynamics of the other valve train components including the ultimate valve motion. To better represent the critical parts of the valve train, special attention was given to the cam and follower and to valve springs. The cam and follower are treated as a force contact relation so parts can separate and impact again. The valve springs are now treated as flexible bodies and important mass effects and coil contact event are captured during the simulation. The mass effects are associated with spring surge that occurs at high speed. Coil contact occurs when individual coil in the spring collides. One cylinder of a diesel engine with overhead single cam with four valves per cylinder is modeled in this study. The multi-body model of the valve train includes rigid camshaft, valves, rocker arms and flexible springs. The multi body dynamic analysis software Motin View is used in this work. The complete model contained a total of 27 rigid bodies and four flex bodies. In addition to the cam and follower, there is a contact force element used throughout the model, including the rocker pallet to the valve bridge.“

Abstract - “There is a customer demand from ARAI for a new two-cylinder engine producing 18 PS (17.75 BHP) for cargo application to meet BS-II requirement. While design validation the problem of cam wear is observed after running 100 Hrs of the engine. As cam is considered an important part which controls valve timings and dynamics of the valvetrain, any defects in cam result in poor performance and failure of the engine. This project deals with the dynamic characteristics of valvetrain, to solve cam wear problem and also modification of valvetrain components if required. The course of action followed during project as follows 1. Theory and literature survey
2. Problem Analysis
3. Modeling of valvetrain components
4. Simulation & analysis using Excite Timing Drive and GT-VTrain
5. Design calculation for new components and simulation.
After following the above course of actions, the cause of cam wear was found that the valve train components require some design change, which are carried out in order to resolve the wear problem without any performance compromise. Based on the above explained exercise of valvetrain design, a new valvetrain system for another two cylinder engine is developed. Moreover overhead cam (OHC) for three cylinder engine from concept layout has to be developed.”

Project Guides : N.Rama Krishna Sai ,Manager Design,PVPL
Key Words :
Abstract - “””Brakes unlike in the sixties and seventies have now emerged as a separate technology. From the advent of internal expanding brakes to currently employed electronic stability program, brakes have undergone a dramatic change. To ensure the vehicle is safe to drive many standards have been introduced to monitor vehicle-braking characteristics and there by increase its performance. The disc brakes have proven road worthy only after they successfully performed in the racing arena, where while cornering the driver can hit on the brakes at the last moment to make a sharp turn instead of taking a deep curve. The current work deals with the evaluation for adapting disc brakes in the new quadruple vehicle with increased gross vehicle weight. The suitability of these brakes, the modifications to the drum brake system to suit the disc brakes are dealt. Based on the results the system components to be used for disc brakes are suggested. The performances of these brakes are predicted theoretically and are validated against the experimental results. Based on the results the disc brakes have been found appropriate for the new quadruple vehicle.“”“

M.Tech.ProjectDetails Title : Project Guides : Key Words : Abstract - “An important part of any internal combustion engine or any machine containing moving parts is the lubrication system, with the primary purposes being to reduce frictional losses in engines by lubricating the surfaces with relative motion between them and also acts as a cooling medium for various components. Hence, this project intends to improve the quality of lubrication by improving the development methodology of the lubrication system. Efforts have been directed to ease and improve the development of engine lubrication system by developing a software model of the lubrication subsystem and also by an Excel based tool, developed to give the geometric definition of the oil pan. Methods for the design of engine lubrication systems have been developed and illustrated in a locomotive diesel engine (GEVO V12). The thesis gives design methods and also a software model along with mathematical models for oil flows through grooves, plain journal bearings- fully & partially grooved. Methods presented and the model developed can be used to design lubrication systems for optimum and practical specifications of oil pump size, pressure relief valves, by-pass filtration, gallery sizes, oil flow through bearings, and also calculating parasitic losses in the engine due to hydrodynamic pumping. The effect of any modification in the engine system, such as relocating the strainer etc, can also be studied with the help of the model. Efforts have been made to develop an Excel based tool to define the geometry of the oil pan used in the engine. The tool has been developed to take various crucial parameters such as pitch, roll, clearances, inertia etc into consideration and furnish dimensional details of the oil pan. The tool also gives the submersion depth of the strainer, which would be helpful in appropriately positioning the strainer for the engines used in various operating conditions. The tool is primarily intended to support the CAD analysis and thereby enable us to drastically reduce the development time of the oil pan. The tool has also been validated with the existing engines. Both, the model and the tool are applicable to most locomotive and marine engine applications. The main commercial benefit is a potential for reduced costs for component manufacture and through shorter engine development periods.“

Title : Design Of An Acoustic Enclosure
Project Guides : Mr. Yadav Prasad S, ARAI-NVH
Key Words :
Abstract - “The objective of the present work is to develop a methodology for acoustic simulation of an enclosure. Numerical prediction of performance parameters namely absorption coefficient(α), transmission loss (TL), and insertion loss(IL) useful in enclosure design, is done using two approaches namely Transfer matrix method and Boundary element method. Transfer matrix method is one dimensional analysis method based on empirical formulations and linearity theory. Four empirical models namely Mechel, Delany–Bazlay, Mikis and Champoux are used to evaluate TL and α. Matlab code is developed for above empirical models to calculate TL and α. It uses Flow resistivity and material thickness as an input. Boundary element analysis of acoustic enclosure is done using Vibroacoustic software Sysnoise to predict radiated noise. Material Admittance inputs required for the above simulations are obtained from transfer matrix method. A prototype of an Enclosure is fabricated and a reference source is used to carry out experimental work. Simulation results are compared with experimental ones. Parametric studies are carried out to study effect of different design parameters like acoustic materials, material thicknesses and enclosure size.”

Abstract - “Pedestrian safety has been a very important issue worldwide. But here in India it is still at its infancy. AIS 100 the pedestrian regulation in India is in draft stage. Hence the main aim of this project was to do an investigation into pedestrian safety and vehicle design. The project commences with a detailed review of all the statistics available worldwide on pedestrian safety. The main purpose of reviewing the statistics was to understand the importance of pedestrian safety. After understanding the need for pedestrian safety the project moves in to the regulatory part. The purpose of doing this was to through light on how the pedestrian regulations took shape and the various bodies associated with it. To have a better understanding of the injuries to a pedestrian it was required to carry out a study on injury biomechanics. After knowing the various injury mechanics a detailed overview of various pedestrian protection devices was given. Now the rest of the project consisted of two different case studies. The first case study was done to observe the variation of HIC value over different points on a vehicle. This was done using CAE analysis. Using CAE software an adult head form was impacted at three points on a vehicle. The HIC values at three different points were found and measures were taken to reduce those values to acceptable limits. The second case study dealt with comparison of two models for pedestrian safety. The two cars under study represented two very different eras of design. This study was made based on biomechanics and mainly concentrated on the effect of front part of the vehicle.“

Kumar,Mr. Rehan Shaik/ Mr. Pundlik Ghodke,Dr. A. Senthil Kumar Key Words :Abstract - “Speed Limiting Devices fitted on vehicles as notified by Government of India are required to comply with CMVR (Central Motor Vehicle Regulations) and AIS 018 (Automotive Industry Standards, Automotive Vehicles -Speed Limitation Devices & Specifications). This regulation of speed should confirm to two standards viz. : IS : 10144 - 1982 : Specifications for Electronic Speed Limiters for Diesel Vehicles and IS : 14382 - 1996 : Automotive Vehicles -Speed – Limiters specifications for installed requirements. Vehicles without electronic control of speed are governed mechanically. Here the fuel pump rack is governed by a mechanical or electrical apparatus. In this work, proportional control governor is calibrated in the vehicle ECU itself to attain the required vehicle set speed. This involves on-vehicle trials wherein control parameters (P, I and D) are varied to study their effects on the vehicle speed characteristic and further fine tuned as per the regulatory requirements. The speed governing is achieved by limiting the torque produced by the engine which is a function of fuel injected in the engine. bThe literature review includes study of control theory including PI control and functioning of the PT1 element functions which are incorporated in the calibration and acquisition software. Study of this software (INCA : Integrated Calibration and Acquisition Systems) and the parameters involved in speed governing. Analysis of the relevant standards and regulations and various jurisdictions. Along with this, the behavior of the engine and the characteristics of the transmission system with reference to different speeds are also studied. Several trials are done to assess the behavior of all the variables involved in speed governing and basic inferences are taken from the velocity, acceleration and other responses. These learnings and basic conclusions are then used to perform a DOE (Design of Experiments) and a structured set of results obtained. Minitab software is used for this. The first DOE, called ‘screening experiment’ contains factors/ variables in accordance with the learnings from the preliminary trials. Analysis of the results of the experiment is done both graphically and analytically. Graphically, the results are tabulated in form of pareto charts, main effects plots, histograms, residual plots, etc. The analytical approach is called ANOVA (Analysis Of Variance). Important factors are identified and the model is optimized using a response tool in the software. In cases where the factors cannot be clearly identified, a reduced DOE can be performed which enables us to identify them accurately. Solutions are also recommended by the software along with their predicted responses. Validation trials are conducted based on these solutions.“

Title : Study of SCR and Design Configuration of Urea-SCR for Locomotive Diesel Engine
Project Guide : Mr.K.Ganesha
Key Words :
Abstract - “Automotive exhaust gases are one of the major contributors of pollution of air envelope around the planet Earth. To save Earth from the harmful products like HC, NOx, PM and CO, emission norms are getting stricter day by day Diesel engines are one of the most lucrative options for the commercial purpose because of its high fuel efficiency and high power as compared to its gasoline counterpart. Its exhaust has two major constituents that complicate the exhaust after treatment. These are : 1. Particulate Matter (PM) 2. Oxides of Nitrogen (NO and NO2) (NOx) PM and NOx have such a relation that if any step is taken to reduce the concentration of one at combustion optimization stage, other is increased and vica versa. So it becomes difficult to control the two things at the source i.e. combustion stage. So the two approaches for reduction of both NOx and PM are : 1. Optimization of in-cylinder combustion for low NOx emissions by employing EGR and using a particulate trap or DPF (diesel particulate filter) with high efficiency to reduce the increased Particulate matter (PM) at the tailpipe 2. Optimization of in-cylinder combustion for low PM emissions and employing NOx reducing after treatment system to reduce the increased NOx. Selective catalytic reduction or Lean NOx trap can be used to reduce the NOx at the tailpipe.“

Project Guide : Mr. R. P. Vasudevan, Mr. T. Parthasarathy
Key Words : Strain gages, data acquisition, tractor,structure, fatique
Abstract - “Vehicle testing methodologies are gaining importance drastically. Researchers are moving towards more and more closer methods of reproducing road inputs on the vehicle. These methodologies have benefited the off road vehicle in improving the design. Agricultural tractors, implements and transport equipment operate mostly in farm fields or on roads of inferior quality. They are subjected to severe loading and which may result in breakage or premature fatigue failure of the components. The objective of the project is to conduct a field load data acquisition of an agricultural tractor with implements to understand the strain levels on the structure. The work involves selecting of implements and identifying the locations for mounting the Strain gauges. The field load data was obtained using Mould board plough, Cultivator and Front end loader with heavy duty and light duty front axle. The field data helped in understanding the behaviour of the structural parts of tractor at different loading conditions. This data will be used for designing and establishing the fatigue life of the components.”

Project Guide : Mr.P.G.Bhat, ARAI Guide
Key Words : Abstract - “The diesel engine is the most efficient power plant among all known types of internal combustion engines. Heavy trucks, urban buses and industrial equipment all over world have been powered almost exclusively by diesel engines. The diesel engine is a candidate to become the power plant of the future at least in the near future. And the population of diesel grows, so does their relative contribution to air pollution. Today, control of emission has become the major driving force in the development of diesel engines. The situation with the diesel emissions is particularly sensitive because, in contrast fo emissions from other types of internal combustion engines, diesel emissionsvissible. Gommercial trucks, buses, and off-road machinery; powered by convention.al and older diesel engines, left a negative impression on the public due to black smoke fragrant intrusion on the environment - they emitted in plain view, as well as the noxious smell. The visibiJity of emission has made diesel also an easy target of political campaIgns. This project is concerned with reduction of emissions in turbocharged diesel generator sets (off-road machinery). Previously there was no proper emission norm for off-road vehicles especially for diesel generator sets. Hence the manufactures of genset sold their products in the market. In recent years, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) proposed the emission norms especially for off-road vehicles in order to control the exhaust emissions and also to provide a clean environment. Emissions from new diesel engines up to 800 kW used in generator sets hav~ been regulated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India [G.S.R. 371 (E), 17 May 2002]. Due to the stringent emission norms, the OEM’S are trying to achieve the required level proposed by the authority. As this proj ect is concerned, the emission levels from the diesel generators sets which are produced previously are not meeting the emission norms and hence the existing engines have to be modified to meet the emission norms.“

The Versa was chosen for this. The following procedures were followed.1. Studied brake systems and ABS in general, and specific to Maruti vehicles2. Made a modified brake circuit after including the ABS components3. Located the hydraulic control unit in the digital mock-up of the vehicle after determining the factors affecting it 4. Chose an existing HCU mounting bracket which was most likely to suit the mounting points in Versa5. Learned brake-pipe design6. Modelled the routing of brake lines to and from the HCU7. Determined the routing of sensor harness in an actual vehicle8. Determined the inadequacies of the existing wheel speed sensor design9. Did a theoretical prediction of the improvement in braking performance if the vehicle was fitted with ABS Thus the basic laying out of ABS components in a multi-utility vehicle was completed.“

Novel design concepts, new materials and demands for the reduced development time has increased the importance and potential advantages offered by the use of numerical simulation over costly and time consuming traditional experimental testing methods. Studies show that vehicle seat properties play an important role for the occupant protection during various types of accidents like front impact, rear impact and rollover. Seat and anchorage, safety belts play a vital roll in safety. Proper design of seat to withstand forces during critical crash situation may reduce severe injury to occupant. The present project work is to develop an efficient methodology for simulation of seat evaluation tests as per AIS - 015, AIS - 016 and AIS - 005 using non-linear explicit finite element package LS-DYNA. The tests included are: 1. Seat belt anchorage test as per AIS 015. 2. Dynamic test of seat anchorage – Frontal impact as per AIS 016. 3. Dynamic test of seat anchorage – Rear impact as per AIS 016. 4. Luggage retention test as per AIS 016. 5. Dynamic test of seat belt assembly as per AIS 005. These tests provide realistic simulation of forces acting on a seat and occupant during the accidental collisions. Hypermesh pre-processor is used for meshing the seat model and preparation of LS-DYNA input deck. Analysis is carried out using non-linear explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. Hyperview, LS-Prepost is used for post-processing of simulation results. Physical testing of seats for all the above tests are observed. The results obtained from testing are studied in detail for failure locations, deformation of various components of seat structure under different dynamic load conditions. The failure locations, deformation of components obtained from the simulation results are compared with experimental results.“
