  1. 16. Parametric model for structural stability computation of chassis in tipper trailers.

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Maria Lagergren; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : When a tipper trailer empties the load it carries, a torque occurs if the trailer stands on uneven ground. To withstand this torque, and prevent the trailer to roll over, the chassis‟ torsional stiffness must be high enough. The stiffness is highly dependent of the geometry of the chassis structure.

  3. 17. Optimum Design and Analysis of a Composite Drive Shaft for an Automobile

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Avdelningen för maskinteknik

    Author : Sanjay Gummadi; Akula Jagdeesh Kumar; [2007]
    Keywords : Torque transmission; Torsional buckling capacities; Fundamental lateral Natural frequency; Bernoulli Euler theory; Timoshenko beam theory; Static analysis; Modal analysis; Buckling analysis; Ansys.;

    Abstract : Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. This work deals with the replacement of conventional two-piece steel drive shafts with a single-piece e-glass/ epoxy, high strength carbon/epoxy and high modulus carbon/epoxy composite drive shaft for an automotive application.
