Coolant Temperature

Mr. Vivian Sequeira (Deputy-Manager,FIAPL, Ranjhangaon)

CAHU, Coolant Temperature

Abstract

The computer simulation of gas exchange and combustion process in internal combustion engines has

become increasingly important in the recent years. In context with the simulation the present work aims to

improve the performance of 2.0L, four cylinder Diesel Engine.

The project can be devided into three phases, firstly- the 1-D simulation of Engine and parametric

optimization to improve Engine performance. Secondly- Experimental validation of Optimized Parameters

and finally- the effect of altitude on the Engine performance.

The base engine is simulated and calibrated on GT-Power with full load measurement test bench data then

changes are made in outlet Intercooler and coolant temperature to get maximum power further optimized

temperature values are get validated on the engine inside test cell.

In phase 3, The performance of the engine is predicted at different altitudes from the sea-level conditions

using CAHU( Conditioning and Air Handling Unit) which can simulate different values of temperature,

pressure and relative humidity simultaneously inside the engine test-cell.

As a result, through simulation, Engine performance is improved by 2.3%.

digital twin, acoustic transfer functions

Abstract

Millions of workers are exposed to dangerous levels of noise at their workplaces. This has been identified

as a top safety concern by government agencies over past 20 years. Exposure to high levels of noise can

have hazardous effects on human health ranging from temporary change in hearing from short exposure to

permanent hearing loss. Loud noise can also interfere with concentration, and contribute to workplace

accidents and injuries by making it difficult to hear warning signals. Currently the only way to identify noise

level at any location is to have sensors at operator ear location/random locations inside the room all the

time. This process may result in non-compliance towards respective safety standards by machine operators

and industries due to high cost and time investment requirements for measurement and monitoring. The

project aims to solve above problem by developing a digital twin for factory floor environment. The twin is

expected to mimic the system behaviour in real time in terms of sound field produced due to machines

operating at specific speeds and also capture the dynamics of system in real time. In short, the twin enables

a live virtual simulation of sound field and allows user to predict and monitor sound level at any location in

considered space in real time as an output. Experiment is performed on small experimental setup built to

simulate factory floor environment. First, input and output noises are measured at all locations inside cavity

to obtain transfer functions and these transfer functions serve as a base of algorithm which later calculates

output sound pressure level at any location in space depending on real time dynamic inputs. Upon testing,

the difference between the actual sound level measured at any location in space and sound level predicted

using transfer function algorithm is found to be within +/- 3 dB(A) limit which was desired accuracy goal.

Hence, through project demonstration, proof of concept was achieved for using transfer functions-based

algorithm for real time sound level prediction inside factory floor.

Multibody dynamics analysis and validation of rear suspension

for tipper application

Influence of vehicle parameters on handling characteristics and

its control using torque vectoring

Abstract

Tipper application has always been associated with rough roads and very high payload. This makes

suspension design the most complex job as it has to cater for needs ranging from good ride at no load

condition to stability of vehicle at fully loaded condition. Bogie suspension being most commonly used

brings in maintenance and breakdown issues which is not desirable by the fleet owners, due to the cost and

downtime associated with it. Rubber suspension has been looked upon as an option due to its ability to not

only provide good ride and stability but also to be almost maintenance free. Tandem axle walking beam

rubber suspension is thus suitable for tipper application and has started to make its space in Indian market.

Suspension design and development includes costly processes in terms of testing and Road Load Data

Acquisition activity. FEA being the most common tool used for component design, requires inputs like

forces acting on each component in various directions which is quite complex to predict. RLDA being an

option to provide this input, brings with it a huge cost associated. Also RLDA cannot predict data at all

locations and thus fails to cater the need. ADAMS is the tool which can provide the desired output forces to

be used as input for design activity.

This research work caters to the same needs and is thus a critical activity in research and development of

the tandem axle walking beam rubber suspension. ADAMS modelling involves template, subsystem and

assembly building of walking beam suspension, involving inclusion of all the compliances, stiffness,

damping and loading. Providing all the above inputs makes the model close to accuracy. This is being

validated with the RLDA data at few important locations and data is being predicted for all the components

where forces cannot be measured otherwise.

Fuel economy enhancement and stringent emission norms require advanced technologies like NOx

aftertreatment systems such as Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) or lean NO x trap (LNT), are needed to

reduce vehicle tailpipe emissions. The clear information on engine-out NOx emissions is essential for

optimization of engine combustion and aftertreatment system development. The present research focuses

on the root cause identification and proposed solution for resolving the high SCR out NOx fault code. The

complete data of the fault vehicle is compared and analysed. And, EGP is inspected and analysed by using

BET analyser. The identified root cause is the virtual engine out NOx is lower than the actual engine out NOx

at some points. A control-intended engine out NOx model that meets all the constraints is beneficial for on-

board applications as a virtual NOx sensor. A virtual NOx sensor is a replacement of the physical NOx

sensor which is very economical for several automotive industries. A virtual model is developed by using

artificial neural networks for virtual sensing of NOx emissions in combustion compression ignition engines

(CI). The developed model is trained and validated by using Neural network tool box which is present in the

MATLAB software. The virtual NOx model with 99% accuracy exhibits good results when compared to the

test cell and vehicle data. The above NNT virtual NOx model is proposed for obtaining the correct engine out

NOx which resolves the high SCR out NOx fault code

Numerical investigation on the impact of flow strategy on

Lithium-ion battery pack cooling system

Mohammad Rafiq B. Agrewale (Manager, ARAI Academy)

Chassis, Clearance Analysis, Automation, Siemens NX, Visual Basic.NET

Abstract

This project deals with the automation of chassis clearance analysis for front MacPherson suspension

layout. The automotive chassis that includes suspension, steering, brakes and other crucial systems

ensures the comfort, drivability, stability and ultimately safety of the passengers in the vehicle. The design

process is thus critical and to verify and validate new components, various analyses and inspections are

conducted. Clearance analysis is performed to check the clearance between various parts of the chassis

with each other and with nearby parts of other systems in the automobile. The process is generally carried

out numerically with design software like Siemens NX and takes as much as 5 days for completion. Most

steps involved in the process are repetitive and hence can lead to human error. Automation of the process

could lead to great savings in time and eliminate human error. Siemens NX provides an in-built feature

NXOpen that accepts programs to carry out any feature available in NX. A comprehensive automation

routine is developed using Visual Basic (VB.NET) and a feature-rich input/output interface is developed in

Excel using Visual Basic Advanced (VBA).

Project Work, Modelling and Simulation

Particulate emissions are a major cause of concern with diesel engines. Particulate matter is composed of

fine and coarse particles. Since coarse particles are mainly removed in modern diesel engines by Diesel

Particulate Filter, fine particles with negative effects on human health, dominate in the emission of current

diesel engines. Implementation of stringent emission regulations has led to improved emissions

measurement and control. Real Driving Emissions legislation tightens the gap between type-approval

vehicle emission results and those in the real world.

This project aims at developing a mathematical model to predict Particulate Number (PN) concentration

and Particle Size Distribution (PSD) at engine - out for a 6 CylinderTurbocharged - Heavy – Duty Diesel

Engine with DOC, DPF and SCR at 25 steady state load - speed operating points for WHTC and WHSC

emission test cycles. The engine operating parameters which affect the Particulate Number (PN) are

evaluated. A Diesel engine is simulated using the Stochastic Reactor Model engine code, which is

implemented with the Empirical Population Balance Model for handling the soot particle dynamics. The

model is then coupled with an advanced statistical toolkit, Model Development Suite (MoDS), where in -

cylinder pressure profiles, soot, NOx, uHCs and CO are calibrated and validated with the experimental data.

A statistical surrogate model was developed using MoDS to predict the Particulate Number (PN)

concentration, soot and other gaseous emissions which include HC, CO and NOx. Surrogate model is an

empirical, analytical or numerical expression for the quantification of relationships between inputs and

outputs of a physical system. The Artificial Neural Network tool in MATLAB is used to train a Neural Network

to predict emission values for the given input and target emission values. Finally, the simulation and

experimental results were studied and compared.

Abstract

Environmental pollution and depletion of conventional sources of energy is a major threat to the world of

mobility. With the rise of this global crisis there has been a rise in the demand for electric vehicles. The

market of the electric vehicle is restricted by the range of the vehicle and its efficiency. Range anxiety is a

major phenomenon that keeps the implementation of electric vehicles harder. Thus there is a need to

estimate the range of a vehicle by performing various tests and there is a need to calculate the energy loss

at different parts of the drive train so as to understand how much energy is lost at each component. The

current project focuses on creating a mathematical model of an electric vehicle using Matlab SIMULINK that

estimates its the state of charge after the simulation is run using a drive cycle. The project also focuses on

creating a real driving condition for the Bangalore city conditions to make the model realistic. Current,

voltage and velocity data was captured from a prototype vehicle that was used for benchmarking the Matlab

model to validate the results. The results obtained from the vehicle-1 based on the inputted parameters

were compared to vehicle-2 and the difference in state of charge was noted for the same driving conditions.

Based on these results, a conclusion was drawn on how to improve the performance of vehicle-2 so as to

improve the range of the vehicle. The main aim of the project is to build a mathematical model for the

customer so that on-road vehicle testing and cost of testing the vehicle on the dynamometer can be reduced

Abstract

A lubrication system is an important of the internal combustion engine. The primary purpose of the

lubrication system is to lubricate the mating surfaces and reduce the frictional losses in the engine. In some

cases the lubrication system is also used in order to cool the thermally loaded parts in the engine. The

lubrication system in an I.C. engine is expected to perform under a variety of operating conditions. For

heavy duty diesel engines a complex lubrication is required to handle the high pressures and temperatures

in the engine. The complex lubrication system involves the components like the oil pump and oil filter with

integrated relief valve, an oil cooler, bypass filter, piston cooling jets. For such complex system the design

would be critical. Such system will have high cost associated with the development phase since the entire

engine has to be build. This will have a high possibility of design failures which lead to redesign and loss of

economy. In order to reduce these multiple losses a 1-D analytical tool is used to predict the system

characteristics without actually building the system. In this project the tool is used to find out the lube oil

system characteristics for a 6 cylinder heavy duty diesel engine. The tool used to carry out the simulation is

GT-Suite. The lube system gallery pressures and volume flow rates are observed at different locations in the

system. The results obtained from the simulation are compared with actual test results which are obtained

by experimentation on the engine. Further the sensitivity analysis of different governing parameters in the

lube oil circuit is carried out and its effect on the oil pressures is checked.

turbocharger selection, 1D modeling, higher altitude, engine performance.

Abstract

The Indian farmers are demanding more powerful and compact tractor for farming in small size fields. The

tractor manufacturers are looking for the cheapest yet more effective ways for power enhancement of

existing engines. The project includes a challenging activity of matching a turbocharger for naturally

aspirated 3-cylinder diesel engine for downsizing so that the same engine can be used as higher power

rating for agricultural tractor application. The demands of high specific power output & lower BSFC are the

main objectives to be achieved using turbocharger matching on existing NA engine and optimizing the

performance using 1-D simulation tool. Another challenging aspect of this work is that there is no change in

terms of engine design parameters like intake manifold, exhaust manifold, cylinder head, etc. Also, to

reduce the development time, the turbocharger needs to be selected off the shelf and not to be developed

as a new part for meeting the required performance. In this project, the mathematical approach for

compressor matching is applied to do a ball park matching of the compressor to meet the required

additional air flow. This is matching is then matched with existing turbocharger catalogues & a suitable

turbocharger is selected for the engine operation to perform same at sea level as well as at higher altitude.

To predict the TC engine performance, at first the existing NA engine 1-D simulation model was prepared

and validated. This validated model was then modified for TC simulation & the TC performance was

predicted. In the end the calculated & the simulated engine performance parameters were compared with

actual testing data to find the difference & validate the TC selection methodology.

Sound Absorption Coefficient by ISO 10534 -2

Mr. K P Wani (ARAI Academy)

ISO 10534 - 2, Trasfer Function Method, Sound Absorption Coefficient

Abstract

Noise reduction in vehicles is of prime importance for the comfort of the passengers. Sound absorbing

materials have a lot of application in sound absorption and thermal insulation in a vehicle. Different methods

have been developed to measure the sound absorption coefficient of these materials. Reverberation room

method is used to measure the random sound absorption coefficient of large sample of materials. The ISO

10534 – 2: Transfer function method was developed to measure normal absorption coefficient of small

sample of materials and is useful for research and development purpose. We have considered melamine

foam, rockwool and acoustic felt due to their application in automotive industry for light weighting, thermal

insulation and sound absorption. The considered materials were tested in impedance tube using the

transfer function method as specified in ISO 10534 – 2. The sound absorption coefficient was measured in

100mm impedance tube for wide and normal microphone spacing. Further the sound absorption coefficient

was measured in the 30 mm impedance tube and both the results were combined in VA Lab 4 software.

The sound absorption coefficient was obtained from 64 Hz to 6300 Hz by combining both the results. The

results were validated from the values in literature. The melamine foam, rockwool and acoustic felt were

compared over the entire frequency range. The better material for sound absorption at any given frequency

was found out. A database was created for melamine foam, rockwool and acoustic felt which consists of the

graph of the sound absorption coefficient over the frequency range of 64 Hz to 6300 Hz, the NRC value for

the materials, the thickness, the density and the method used i.e. ISO 10534 – 2.

Abstract

Development of autonomous agricultural tractor is of great importance for improving the level of agriculture.

A path tracking controller for autonomous mini electric tractor is designed based on Model Predictive

Control (MPC). The conventional recirculating ball gearbox steering mechanism is replaced by steer by wire

mechanism, so as to control the lateral movement of tractor in manual and autonomous mode of operation.

PID Controller is proposed for manual mode of steer by wire operation, whereas MPC based Controller is

proposed for autonomous mode. Simulations of controller were performed on MATLAB Simulink. Results

shows that MPC can be used to control path tracking of vehicle with improvement of 29% lateral control over

other control strategy.

FEA, Submodelling, CREO Simulate

Abstract

Finite element analysis is a requirement in almost all industries today. Developments in this method have

led to increasingly efficient and accurate analyses of highly complex geometries which were not previously

possible with traditional methods. However, FEA also requires a lot of computational power and time if not

executed efficiently. Especially in larger and complex geometries, the time taken for analysis could extend

from a few hours to days. User knowledge and experience is key for this.

The objective of this project is to address this problem of the analyses taking too long. Three approaches

are investigated and the submodelling technique is chosen based on its advantages. A detailed method to

implement this technique generally and specifically in CREO-Simulate is discussed.

A case study of a simplified L bracket is taken. Submodelling is implemented on it. Minor changes in

geometry such as adding fillet radius and addition of certain geometry like gussets is also discussed.

The results obtained show a 90+% accuracy when compared to the original model and clearly show that the

time required to get results on the desired region is greatly reduced using this technique. Also, certain

geometry changes can be incorporated like thickness change, fillet radius change etc. and modelled with a

finer grid without having to increase computational power and time to a large extent.

Polydyne Cam Design, LIVC, Valve Train, Valve Timing

Abstract

Agriculture is an important part of India's economy and at present it is among the top two farm producers in the world. This

sector provides approximately 52 percent of the total number of jobs available in India and contributes around 18.1 percent

to the GDP. Tractors are one of the most integral components of agriculture and the Indian tractor industry is the largest in

the world and is continuously developing industry. Diesel engine forms the backbone of the tractor which is under

development to make it more fuel efficient, environment friendly and economically viable. Volumetric efficiency is one of the

most important performance parameter which determines the ability of an engine to take in maximum possible amount of air

into the cylinder which is under study in this project for its improvement. On literature study valve train and valve timing

modulations was found to be the most effective way of improving volumetric efficiency. Valve train and valve timing

modulations includes late intake valve closure, Increase in valve overlap, increment in valve lift and early intake valve

opening. A 1-D engine model was developed on AVL Boost for a three cylinder, 2.76 liter, naturally aspirated diesel

engine which is used as EURO 50 in Escorts tractors. A full throttle performance test was conducted to study the

performance parameters of the engine and those parameters were used to validate the 1-D model with its simulated data.

This validated engine model was simulated for different valve train and valve timing configurations to improve volumetric

efficiency of the engine. An improvement of more than 2% in volumetric efficiency was achieved with optimized valve train

and valve timing configuration. Analytical calculations for optimized cam was done following the polydyne cam design

methodology and dynamic analysis was done to make its implementation feasible.

DNOX, Urea Dosing system, supply module, Pump module, NOx

Abstract

BSVI norms is implemented in India from April 2020 in order to restrict vehicle emissions.Bosch

Denoxtronic urea dosing system is an effective way in diesel engine after-treatment systems to meet

increasingly stringent emission regulations. The Denoxtronic 5.X. system is used to reduce NOx emissions

upto 96% from a passenger car and light duty vehicle. A typical Denoxtronic urea dosing system contains

dosing control unit, urea tank, supply module and dosing module. The DNOX 5.X. supply module, which is

fused with the urea tank by the vehicle manufacturer, It draws urea from urea tank and supplies to dosing

module which injects urea in the exhaust tract. The urea is then converted via thermolysis and hydrolysis into

ammonia. Inside the SCR catalytic converter, the ammonia then reduces the nitrogen oxides into harmless

water and nitrogen. The Denoxtronic scope of supply also comprises dosing modules for mounting

underfloor with passive air cooling or with active cooling by engine coolant. The intent of this project is to

develop a quick check test equipment to test the Denoxtronic 5.X. supply module and validate the

Denoxtronic parts on the test bench against specifications and can conclude whether it is functionally OK or

development of fuel cell vehicle and application of control

Diesel vehcile, powertrain, fuel cell, battery, converter, fuzzy logic controller

Abstract

According to EPA, about 50-90 percent pollution is due to automobile sector and automobile is responsible

for global warming. Moreover, India is also facing deficiency in crude oil due to high demand for Crude oil.

To overcome this crisis, India has implemented the BS VI norms but still for the upcoming norms or further

norms it is difficult or more challenging task in case of ICE. Thus, India is also approaching toward EV’s.

Fuel cell EV’s can be the future of India thus tremendous research is going on over the Fuel cell EV’s. This

project deals with development of Diesel LCV vehicle with aftertreatment devices and conversion of LCV

into Fuel cell EV. Lithium ion battery pack is used as primary power source whereas fuel cell is used as

range extender. DC-DC converter is placed between battery and fuel cell so as to amplify the output for

peak power requirement. This thesis deals with development of control strategies for active power sharing

in hybrid power source. In this thesis, the output current setpoint is estimated from battery SOC. For

implementation of control strategy, fuzzy logic controller is used and whole modelling is developed in

SIMULINK software.

The target of this project is to reduce hydrogen fuel consumption by 2% and development of optimization

strategy for effective battery performance improvement.

Vibration Analysis of Chladni plate using Cymatics

Mr. K.P. Wani

Chladni plate, Modal analysis, Frequency, ANSYS workbench

Abstract

Cymatics is the branch that studies the visible effects of the sound and vibration. Ernest Florens Friedrich

Chladni performed numerous experiments to study the nodes of vibration of square and circular plates, fixed

at the centre and driven with a violin bow. This work aims at demonstrating nodes and antinodes at various

frequencies of vibrations. Chladni plate is used for this purpose. When the plate is excited because of

vibrations from a vibrator source, the sand of the plate creates specific patterns. These patterns are related

to the excitation frequency. The sand on the plate moves away from antinodes where the amplitude of the

standing wave is maximum and towards nodal lines where the amplitude is minimum or zero, forming

patterns known as Chladni figures. The formation of patterns depends on material properties, geometry of

plate, thickness of plate and frequency/vibration pattern of the vibrator. The experimental setup consisted of

a aluminium rectangular plate of 16 cm × 16 cm and aluminium circular plate of diameter 16 cm are having

thickness of 0.61 mm placed over a mechanical vibrator (GelsonLab HSPW-003), which was driven by a

sine wave signal generator (Ningbo Hema scientific). The procedure consisted in sprinkling powder on the

plate and sweeping the frequency of the function generator until a constant pattern was obtained. Different

shapes formed by sand particle on the plate at different frequencies will be captured by the camera. Modal

analysis is done using ANSYS workbench for validation purposea also develop machine learning python

program for imgae recogniztion. Proposed work is at TRL (technology readiness level) of 3, research to

prove feasibility [TRL of 3 of NASA 1 to 9 TRL levels]. As basic research is carried out to verify the use of

Chladni Patterns to relate the frequency of vibration and patterns generated.

Parametric study of BIOT’S parameter for flat and molded samples.

Mrs. Manasi P. Joshi Manager NVH , ARAI Pune

Biot’s parameters, Sound absorption coefficient, airflow resistivity

Human comfort is top priority in an automobile. Acoustic material treatment is used to provide comfort by suppression of

vehicle interior noise. Acoustic material is characterized by five Biot parameters i.e. porosity, tortuosity, airflow resistivity,

VCL, TCL and three elastic properties i.e. elasticity, poisson ratio and damping loss factor respectively. For the practical

application of acoustic material, manufactured flat samples are moulded to desired shape and size using thermocompression

method. This transformation of flat to moulded sample leads to thickness reduction and affecting the Biot’s parameter

resulting in poor performance. This project aims to identify the dominant parameter for the design of acoustic felt material

for sound absorption which gets mostly affected during compression. Three different models i.e. Delany-Bazley-Miki model

(DBM), Johnson-Champoux-Allard-Lafarge model (JCAL) and BIOT-JCAL modelled in Matlab Simulink are used to

predict the sound absorption performance of the material with different input parameters. All the three models are validated

using literature data with less than 10% error. From the comparison of predicted data from these models it is clear that only

thickness and airflow resistivity of material are sufficient input parameters for prediction of sound absorption coefficient

using Delany-Bazley-Miki model. In addition to this correlation analysis is also performed within the thickness and Biot

parameters stating that only thickness and air flow resistivity shows the value of Pearson coefficient r = -0.75 which shows a

good negative linear correlation. From the predicted sound absorption coefficient using Delany-Bazley-Miki model (DBM),

Johnson-Champoux-Allard-Lafarge model (JCAL) models and correlation analysis, airflow resistivity is major design

parameter of acoustic felt material which help to decide the compression percentage of felt material by analysing the sound

absorption coefficient of compressed material with airflow resistivity as an input parameter.

Interior Sound Quality character comparison of Diesel and Electric Vehicle: Best possible way to improve SQ of EV

Mr. Pradeep D. Jawale (Manager, NVH, ARAI)

Sound Quality, Psychoacoustic parameters

Abstract

The sound quality of a vehicle interior noise strongly influences the customer’s perception towards a vehicle.

To evaluate the sound quality of interior noise, two different types of vehicles i.e. a diesel vehicle and an

electric vehicle used in this project. Two type of tests i.e. objective test and subjective tests are performed

for each vehicle. The sound data recorded at different locations in the vehicle for 8 different operating

conditions. Outdoor vehicle test is performed to record the sound data. All the recorded data are post

processed on LMS test lab software to obtain psychoacoustic parameters. Eight psychoacoustic

parameters for vehicle interior noise are evaluated. Also subjective evaluation based on annoyance rated

scale is carried out in hemi anechoic chamber with 20 subjects, in which subjects rated the particular sound

by their perception towards sound. Then the correlation for subjective ratings as well as psychoacoustic

parameters are obtained using Pearson correlation coefficient. This correlation gives the relation among

sound quality parameters and it is observed that the subjective perception is mostly towards the loudness,

SPL, sharpness and Articulation index.

For effective communication inside vehicle, the AI value should be high which is inversely related (r=0.94)

to the loudness. And subjective annoyance is relates to loudness with a high rate (r=0.91). While sharpness

and roughness is highly proportional with fluctuation strength (r=0.98) and annoyance is related to loudness

(r=0.94) in case of electric vehicle.

Designing deep groove ball bearings (6309) and calculation of its limiting speed

Prof. B. Venkatesham

Contact Stress, Hertzian Contact Stress, Limiting Speed

Abstract

Deep groove ball bearings are the type of bearings most suitable for transmission in electric vehicles as

they are capable of carrying out a low noise, high speed operation as well as carrying a considerable

amount of radial and axial load. Since, electric vehicles seem to be an inevitable choice for transportation in

the future with the current rise in pollutants present in our environment, it is necessary for us to understand

the designing aspects and the concerned important parametersinvolved in the operation of this bearing and

how it can be made more efficient. The designing involves satisfying design constraints in order to have an

optimised run during operation. Other related components and parameters like cage, lubricant etc. are

known to have a significant effect on the operation and longevity of the bearing. The study of these

parameters helps in understanding the operation in a better way. An algorithm was employed in MATLAB to

evaluate the contact stress at the ball and raceway interfaces. Using this the stress value at which failure

occurs can be found. The finite element analysis of 6309 was done and the contact stress for the operating

conditions was found. Using this information and the material properties of the bearing, we deduced the

mechanical limiting speed of the bearing.

Design Optimization of After-Treatment System of Heavy Duty CNG Engine to Reduce

Exhaust Back Pressure and NH3 Emission

Dr. S. S. Thipse & Mr. K. P. Kavathekar

After-Treatment System, CNG, NH3 Emission

Abstract

CNG is the most preferred alternative fuel due to its low cost, less emission and renewable source of energy. Due to

increasing environment pollution emission norms like Bharat Stage and Euro norms are getting stringent. To fulfill these

emissions criteria, after-treatment devices need to put a lot of effort which results in complex design of components of after-

treatment system, consequently it leads to increase in exhaust back pressure which affects engine performance. On the

other hand increase in pressure causes increase in exhaust temperature as well which helps to achieve light-off temperature

of catalyst and this results various reactions and especially in SI fueled engines, it causes NH3 formation which is harmful to

environment, so optimization of exhaust back pressure and reduction in NH3 emission need to be done to reduce

environmental pollution and to achieve BS VI norms.

In this project the exhaust back pressure has reduced up to 25% and NOX and CO emission were under BS VI limit.

NH3 emission was also below 10 ppm.

PREDICTION OF TURBINE HOUSING JOINT MECHANICAL LOADING DUE TO

COMPLEX EXHAUST PIPEWORK

Mr. Sateesh M V, Cummins Turbo Technologies, CTIPL, Pune

Modal Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Vibration Correlation, Exhaust Pipework,

MAC

Abstract

Due to the design modifications and addition of new components in exhaust plumbing pertaining to the new

emission norms, structural load limits on the turbocharger outlet flange are found to be exceeding. Vibration

characteristics of the assembly are also observed to be changing due to these design changes. Prediction of

vibration characteristics of Turbo-Exhaust assembly subjected to engine excitations in dynamic operating

conditions and laying out a FE simulation methodology based on inputs from experimentations for a obtaining a

reasonable correlation between test and analysis, are the key objectives of this project. A comprehensive

approach has been developed and validated to tackle these challenges which involves modal analysis in FE

environment to understand the natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes and obtaining a good

modal correlation using Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), followed by vibration trials on field considering

worst case actual thermal and mechanical boundary conditions. The vibration data extracted from field tests

using tri-axial accelerometers is then fed to the FE harmonic analysis. The FE model is updated further to

extract a better harmonic correlation in terms of applying modal damping ratios calculated from test data,

among others. A vibration correlation between acceleration data from experimental tests and from FE analysis

with a deviation less than 10% has been achieved. Considering the correlated acceleration input as a load on

the turbocharger outlet flange, structural loading on the turbocharger outlet flange is calculated and is found to

be within design limits.

Key Words Air intake system, intake air temperature, CFD

Abstract

An air intake system leads the airflow going into the internal combustion engine. The lower the air temperature,

the higher is its density, more is the oxygen in a unit volume. Intake system design and routing influence the

temperature of air at intake, critical to define efficiency of combustion. This research work focuses on the

optimization of intake system design for a passenger car application by reduction in intake air temperature to

improve engine performance and vehicle fuel economy.High intake air temperature can be a result of either

suction of hot air present in the under hood if intake snorkel is open to engine compartment hot air or air

flowing inside the intake system is heated by the stagnant hot air close to the intake system, etc. Vehicle

performance being very sensitive to the intake air temperature, these problems are the focus area for this

research project.A hybrid approach of CFD simulation and vehicle level testing is employed to analyse this

issue and to provide a solution. The aid of simulation model provided a means to understand the flow pattern

through the intake system and provide solutions to improve air flow with minimum heat gain across the system.

Vehicle level testing was mainly aimed to obtain a correlation with simulation model initially and then for the

validation of vehicle level performance improvements for the different intake system routing proposals. This

report summarizes the details of simulation and tests including methodologies, analysis of results and

conclusions. Improvement in engine torque, temperature across the intake system and acceleration

improvement with the proposals are also discussed, as a part of this report.

Abstract

Lithium-Ion batteries are used in a wide variety of devices over a broad range of powers. All batteries generate

heat due to the internal resistance of the battery and entropic effects which is roughly proportional to amount of

power being drawn from the cells. This heat can cause many problems in the operation of the battery including

shortening the lifetime of the cells, reducing their power output, electrical imbalance between the cells due to

non-uniform heating within a pack, and even the possibility of fire and explosion in extreme cases. Thermal

management of the cells then becomes an important study. This research investigates the application of

nanoparticle-based fluid as coolant and cold plate in managing the heat production of lithium ion battery packs.

The pack chosen consists of 18, 18650 Li ion NCA (Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide Rechargeable) cells. The

geometry of pack was constructed in CATIA V5 and Ansys Design Modeler and the analysis is performed in

the software ANSYS 19.2. Different heat rates were analysed at different C Rates and analysis was performed

by indirect cooling method using cold plate.

The cell temperature when simulated for 1C, 2C, 2.5C and 3C and results also showed that 2.5C, 3C rate

exceed the optimum working temperature range. The use cold plate for indirect cooling of battery pack by

using nanofluid as coolant also showed that how increasing small volume fraction of Al2O3 nanoparticle can

decrease the plate temperature. Later it was studied that increasing the flow inlet velocity results in increase

the cooling efficiency.

Abstract

Recently, prediction of engine block temperature using simulation techniques proved very useful in thermal

mapping and studying thermal behaviour of each component.

The main aim of this paper is to predict temperature distribution across the block and identify critical regions

for further analysis. Numerical analysis of Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) between monoblock and coolant

medium is carried out using the simulation tool. Analytical results have been calculated based on test results

using Excel tool. These analytical results serve as inputs for boundary condition definitions.

Monoblock with essential components is taken together in commercial simulation software to solve flow and

heat transfer simultaneously at each cell. Temperature results numerically predicted are validated with

experimentally measured results. Temperature prediction helps in identifying hot spots, critical components

and their associated thermal stresses.

Development of parametric acoustic air FEA mesh for tire noise performance

calculations

Parametric Air Mesh, GMSH, FEA

Abstract

The success of modern-day vehicles not just depends upon good power train or fine aesthetics, but on good

levels of NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness). Moreover, the advent of electric vehicles leads to a quite

powertrain due to less moving parts. Hence the exterior tire noise becomes evident. Consequently, the

accurate measurement of tire noise is imperative to maintain optimum noise level of the vehicle. Finite

Element Analysis (FEA) is an important tool in the measurement of exterior tire noise. The reasons attributed

to the use of FEA are less cost, time saving and a near reproduction of the real time conditions The present

work focuses on the parametric acoustic mesh development for the simulation of external tire noise using FEA

approach.

The current procedure of FEA meshing used in the organization incurs a good amount of cost to company as a

licensed software is being used and licenses are very limited. There is no standard method of creating

acoustic air mesh. The current process is not optimized with respect to time and performance. The proposed

project aims to solve the above-mentioned limitations. A parametric acoustic air mesh will be developed in an

open source tool which will be automated. In addition to this, the developed mesh will be cost effective and

efficient with respect to time and performance. The parametric air mesh improves the precision of calculation

of pass by noise by using a fine mesh near the tire surface and coarser mesh away from the tire surface. The

mesh results are compared against various parameters to know the behavior of different mesh designs

possible.

Abstract

The pure Electric Vehicles (EV) are still not ready to conquer the market from the conventional vehicles due to

high cost, low range of travel, lack of infrastructure for battery charging stations and high maintenance of

batteries. Hybrid systems, using a combination of an internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric motor (EM),

have the potential of improving fuel economy by operating the ICE in the optimum efficiency range and by

making use of regenerative braking during deceleration.

Previous work was carried out to select motor and battery specification based on the targeted vehicle speed

as well as size, weight, cost etc. Mechanical design and analysis are carried out for drive train components to

be modified ensuring minimum modifications in the original vehicle. In the current study two-wheeler hybrid

electric vehicle was developed with the help of previous work along with its controller. In this study, first step

was to collect the data such as vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position, brake position, gear position

and clutch position using various sensors attached at respective positions. For this an Arduino based data

logger system is developed. Using this data an algorithm for hybrid electric vehicle is developed which can run

the vehicle in pure electric mode, pure ICE mode and combined mode.

Abstract

Battery powered electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are considered as an alternative to the vehicles that are

completely powered by internal combustion engines. The reason behind this is due to the pollution caused more importantly the

greenhouse gas emissions which impacts the climatic conditions. Also, the fact that electric vehicles are more energy efficient

than the conventional type vehicles, increases the value for the technology.

While the use of electric vehicle technology is advantageous in terms of reducing energy consumption and emissions, it is also

very important to understand and assess the lifetime of the critical components like high voltage battery pack and motor that

powers the electric vehicle.

The project work therefore, intends to analyse the performance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and lithium-ion

battery pack that is used in electric vehicles to predict and estimate the remaining useful life of the component by using

MATLAB-Simulink.

Abstract

NVH has gained importance in the field of earth moving equipment due to the demand of quiter machines and

stringent in cab as well as exterior noise emission norms. Several parts of the world have adopted strict

legislation on noise emission by earth moving equipments, but many countries have not adopted any

regulations till date. Hence this project mainly focuses on helping governing bodies as well as machine

manufacturer in adopting simple yet accurate testing method for compactor machine. The study consists of

directivity analysis, noise source identification & noise source ranking and 4-point microphone position sound

power evaluation method applied to compactors with wide range of engine power ratings. All the tests in 4-

point method and directivity analysis were performed under stationary as well as dynamic conditions. Currently,

several countries and vehicle manufacturers have adopted sound power evaluation of compactor exterior

noise emission by 6-point method (as per ISO 6393 & ISO 6395) which consists of six microphone positions.

The 4-point method presented in this thesis tries to reduce measurement positions from 6 to 4, thereby

simplifying the testing method, reduce instrumentation cost and measurement time. Error between the two

methods was found out to be less than 1%. Directivity analysis shows that the compactor is extremely directive

at its rear side & emitted maximum sound power. Whereas it is observed that microphone positions

mentioned in ISO standards are not suitable enough to capture this noise which results in underestimation of

exterior sound power level. Major noise sources such as engine, cooling fan, hydraulic system, intake and

exhaust system were also evaluated.

Abstract

Rising fuel prices and stricter emission regulations have put a great demand on developing new engines with

high fuel efficiency and low emissions. This has led to the development of several new concepts such as

different types of EGR, variable valve timing, different injection strategies, turbulence enhancement techniques,

etc.Virtual simulations, particularly 1D simulation tools for gas exchange have played a critical role in the last

decade to reduce the lead-time for the development of these new concepts. These simulation tools employ a

0D combustion model. However, one of their major limitation is the use of a non-predictive or fixed burn rate

combustion model. With this kind of model, it is not possible to evaluate the above-mentioned concepts with

reliability. In order to overcome this problem major tool developers such as Gamma Technologies have

developed a predictive combustion model, which can predict the combustion rate based on the in cylinder

conditions. However, these models can provide reliable results only if they are well calibrated against test data.

The aim of this thesis was to calibrate a predictive combustion model for a Diesel engine in GT-Power using

the DI-Pulse combustion object. The performance of the fully calibrated model was evaluated by analysing its

capability to predict key operating parameters such as IMEP, performance characteristics, peak pressure,

heat release rate, burn rate and NOx emissions.In order to calibrate the model, data was collected by 55KW 4

Cylinder CRDi JCB engine test cell and was subsequently validated thoroughly before using it for calibration.

Abstract

Accidents occurring while reversing the vehicle has gained an importance because of its contribution to the

total number of accidents every year. Reverse alarms have an advantage over visual devices that they capture

the attention of an individual’s irrespective of their awareness about the vehicle is reversing. Hence it important

to evaluate the noise performances of the reverse alarm to ensure that it functions optimally. In order to

evaluate the performances, different types of reverse alarms namely Type B(small), B(Big), C and F as

specified by the standard SAE J994 are selected. The component level testing is carried out in an Hemi-

anechoic chamber to analyse the various parameters contributing to the performance of an reverse alarms as

well as the sound propagation through the sound directivity measurements. Further, Sound quality evaluation is

carried out by objective and subjective analysis where in the recorded sound data is processed to obtain the

sound quality metrics and the subjective ratings through the jury testing. Finally, by correlation and analysis,

annoyance index for the reverse alarms is Formulated.

Lithium ion, Equivalent circuit model, Thermal management, Liquid Cooling

Abstract

The preferred candidate for Electric Vehicles is the lithium-ion battery due to its outstanding characteristics

such as high energy-to weight ratio, high voltage, good stability and slow loss of charge when not in use. One

of the major concerns in the development of lithium-ion battery packs for EVs is thermal management. The

temperature of all cells must be strictly maintained within the optimum range across the entire pack. Hybrid

Electric Vehicle battery cell/pack temperature rise is directly proportional to the magnitude of charge/discharge

power and driver demand. A battery pack is built in MATLAB/Simulink using equivalent circuit model with two

RC pairs which represents a prismatic cell. This study pays attention on liquid cooling of battery pack with

respect to higher ambient conditions in order to reduce the high temperature excursions that could decrease

the life and reduce safety of Li-Ion batteries. Cold plates are used in which liquid flows and helps in carrying

away the heat from the battery packs. Different liquids are used in this cooling system to maintain the

temperature of the pack within the optimum range. The mixture which contains 50% propylene and 50% water

by volume reduces the temperature of the pack quickly when compared to 50% ethylene and 50% water

mixture. Therefore, temperature of the pack is reduced from 300C to around 20.50C which is about 31.6%

reduction in temperature is achieved.

Abstract

Adoption of electric mobility plays major role to comply with the stricter vehicular emission legislations globally

along with the advantage of lower noise emission as being silent vehicle. At low speed below 30kph, quietness

of electric vehicles gets masked by background noise which makes it difficult to be detected by the

pedestrians on road specially who are visually impaired. To overcome this threat to blinds, global automotive

committees in several countries proposed to equip electric vehicles with the artificial sound generating system

called Acoustic vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) with specific acoustic guidelines for the sound. To mimic ICE

sound by electric vehicle, granular sound synthesis is used to meet speed based acoustic requirements as in

legislations. Research focuses on multilayered sounds with different frequency content are designed which

gives acoustic feedback to driver and keeps vehicle sonically alive with low frequency content. Subjective and

Objective evaluation of sound is performed to understand the sound quality and consumer satisfaction towards

the modified sounds. Annoyance caused by artificial sound is analyzed by jury response and evaluated the

correlation with the objective parameters. Low frequency content is more accepted for sounds over high

frequency content.

Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Analysis of Coolant Flow in Cylinder Head integrated with

EGR passage for a Diesel Engine

Mr. Kinkar Majumder, GM, Tata Motors Limited

Integrated EGR passage, Engine cooling system, CHT, coolant jacket, water box

Abstract

Research work is going on to increase the engine efficiency which will indirectly increase the thermal loads on

the engine components. The cooling system needs to be designed more robust to constantly remove this

increase in heat generation. CFD and FE are most commonly used tools to simulate the heat transfer between

the coolant and combustion/exhaust gases. Also, increase in power and combustion temperatures give rise to

increase in NOx generation which indirectly demands more cooled EGR to be supplied to the combustion

chamber to control NOx emissions as per regulatory standards. This demand will result in bigger size of EGR

cooler.

In this master thesis, a new concept of EGR cooling is presented and demonstrated in which an EGR passage

is integrated with cylinder head of a 4-cyl diesel engine. A 3D-CHT-CFD simulation is conducted on AVL Fire

M software and flow simulation results are been validated with test data while CHT simulation results are

qualitatively validated for a 4-cyl PV diesel engine. Model-based approach is being established and to verify it,

this concept application is further extended on development of integrated EGR passage in 4-cyl CV diesel

engine.

Water box model is developed for integration of EGR passage in 4-cyl CV diesel engine and its manufacturing

is discussed.

Abstract

Electrical Vehicles (EVs) contributing in reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and carbon dioxide (CO2) hence Automobile manufacturers are shifting in EVs line up. In EVs energy storage system is battery pack, battery pack consist of number of cells that are connected in series and parallel. Those cells are connected in parallel called bricks and those bricks are connected in series called as module. It is difficult to monitor state of each brick or module. If it is crossing desired voltage of battery it will affect cycle life drastically which leads to decrease in battery life to avoid implementing monitor of voltage, current and SOC of battery. Each cell after manufacturing will have different voltage after designing battery module it could not develop pulse of current required to rotate winding of motor as to face such a problem, we have developed Battery Management (BMS) System Board which will monitor battery pack. output of this is current, voltage, temperature and SOC of battery pack. To deal with each cell is having same voltage to give proper output to motor controller we have built board called as passive cell balancing board. On similar lines we have developed BMS model on MATLAB/Simulink which will give state of battery pack current, voltage, temperature and State of Charge (SOC). Also balances SOC of each cell. As due to properly monitoring voltage, current and temperature and each cell having same voltage due to cell balancing of battery pack battery life will improved.

AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF PASSENGER CAR USING FRONT SPLITTER, REAR

DIFFUSER AND SIDE SKIRTS CONCEPT

Mr. Ashish Swarup (Jaguar Land Rover India)

Aerodynamics, AFD, Ansys Fluent, SpaceCalim

Abstract

In high performance passenger vehicle, aerodynamics plays very important role at high speed to maintain

stability and achieve handling. There are various aero components commonly used in a vehicle to reduce drag.

This project is focusing on front splitter and diffuser to reduce drag and increase negative lift. Reduction in drag

will able to provide high speed as well as reduce fuel consumption whereas increase in negative lift helps to

maintain enough traction at cornering. Providing front splitter produces high pressure at front bumper which

pushes vehicle in downward direction and it creates low pressure at bottom of bumper. Addition of front splitter

may imbalance the force distribution over the vehicle. Hence diffuser plays important role to balance this force.

Diffuser create venturi effect underneath of vehicle which help to rush out air with high velocity. By creating low

pressure underneath of vehicle, downforce increases and drag reduces. In this project, variation of angle is

provided and analysis the effect of change in angle of attack. For analysis here I am considering Jaguar FPace

which is comes under SUV category. The angles at front various as 100

Ride Comfort, MATLAB, Simulink, Stiffness, Time- Domain, Frequency Domain, ISO-2631

Abstract

Ride is considered to be one of the crucial criteria for evaluating the performance of a vehicle. Automobile

industry is striving for improvement in design to provide passenger comfort in Commercial vehicles

segment. In Industry, Quarter-car model has been used for years to study the vehicle’s ride dynamics. But

due to less DOF involved in quarter car, the output accuracy is somewhat less. Thus, in this project we have

developed a 7 DOF full-car Model to perform the ride- comfort analysis for Light Duty 4*2 Commercial

Eicher Bus using MATLAB Simulink which can be used to tune the suspension design to meet the required

ride-comfort level.

Firstly, Experimental data and Physical Parameters are collected by performing Practical Test on 4*2 Bus

on a Class A, B and C road profile. Secondly, a Full Car Mathematical Model with 7 DOF has been

developed for a H.D. bus using MATLAB Simulink R2018a. The model is designed for independent

dynamic damping on all 4 wheels along with the spring stiffness. Axle Acceleration data is given as an input

to the Mathematical Model and the Roll, Pitch and Bounce data is determined as output. The simulated and

actual data is correlated and validated using Time domain and Frequency domain analysis. Furthermore,

fitment of data in Ride Comfort Index is carried out as per ISO 2631. Therefore, a parametric model to

encompass all vehicle architectures ranging from IC engine to electric powertrain under the commercial bus

segment is developed for detailed ride and comfort analysis.

Simulation Comparison Of Conductive And Convective Cooling Of Automotive Steering

Wheel Using Thermoelectric Peltier Modules

Mr. Vinod Kale, GM, TML / Mr. Vikas Kumar, Senior Manager, TML

Thermoelectric, KULI, 1D, Steering, Cooling, PCM, Peltier, conductive,

convective, TIF, Latent heat

Abstract

Nowadays automotive cabin comfort has become a necessity rather than an optional feature, with customers

demanding more comfort features. Thermal comfort becomes an essential part of this expectation. Since

steering wheel is the first surface that the driver will touch once he enters the vehicle, maintaining thermal

comfort of steering wheel becomes important. Especially in tropical countries like India where a car parked in

hot weather can get significantly warm inside. In this work, multiple design concept for automotive steering

wheel thermal control, based on thermoelectric effect were depicted along with building a detailed

mathematical model. Thermoelectrics were selected for this purpose as it is solid state, compact & scalable

solution to achieve rapid cooling rates. This was the most desired feature to cool the steering wheel before

driver comes in contact with it. Since there was an absence of 1D model for thermoelectric coolers (TEC) in

open literatures, same was also built using the mathematical model. Two basic concepts of cooling the

steering were used viz. conductive and indirect convective cooling. The indirect convective cooling involved

using Phase Changing Material (PCM) to absorb heat dissipated by the TEC at constant temperature. This

latent heat was absorbed at almost constant temperature and then dissipated to atmosphere via convection.

The study also lists all the design concepts which were identified and some of the design concepts were finally

modelled in 1D environment. The entirety of the model was built in 1D simulation platform KULI which is

specifically used for thermal management. The models were then simulated at different operating points and

INTERNAL EGR SYSTEM DESIGN AND VERIFICATION FOR REDUCTION IN NOx

EMISSION IN A DIESEL ENGINE

Mr. Vishnu Roop Rai (Escorts Ltd.)

Internal EGR, 1-D Fluid dynamic modelling, Valv train analysis, Polydyne

Abstract

Retaining the exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber by various valve train design strategies is known

as internal EGR (iEGR). This work deals with the potential of internal EGR to reduce NOx emission of a diesel

engine by the help of 1-D fluid dynamic model developed in GT-powertrain environment. Among various

accepted and pre-tested strategies, secondary opening of intake valve during the exhaust stroke (2IVO) has

proven the best in the current situation. Pre-opening is done to in order to retain the burnt exhaust gas back

into the intake manifold and then to be used in next cycle as EGR dilution. Also 2IVO has a high potential of

trapping iEGR up to a level of 35% and can be achieved by mechanical camshaft with some modifications in

the existing valve train system.

In order to have maximum NOx reduction, different position for the secondary opening event was simulated

along with different valve lifts. It was found that as we keep the pre-opening event towards the start of the

exhaust stroke we are able to retain maximum amount of burnt gas but with a little reduction in power and bsfc.

In order to compensate for the lost power and bsfc the pre-opening event was simulated towards the center

and end of the exhaust stroke but the extent to the end was limited by the geometrical constraints and the

smooth management of the follower motion as the main opening of the intake valve also take place at the end

of the exhaust stroke. Due to flat face follower being used in existing system proper clearance was taken

between the pre-opening and main events of intake valve as both the lift profiles has to be made on the same

cam. By the help of 1-D combustion model it was found that a maximum 32% EGR was attained with the help

of iEGR which resulted in maximum NOx reduction of around 45%. Also as the engine was naturally aspirated

there was a little loss in the volumetric efficiency. According to the final lift and position decided, camshaft shaft

was modified by the help of polydyne cam design. An extra lobe for iEGR was added on the existing cam and

kinematic analysis was done analytically by help of valve velocity and acceleration.

Transfer Path Analysis of an Electric Vehicle and its possible NVH reduction methods

Mr. P.D. Jawale (NVH, ARAI)

TPA,NVH,EV

Abstract

Unlike ICE vehicles, electric vehicles have lack of noise masking effect because of different noise source

involvement hence study of NVH analysis of an electric vehicle is different from ICE vehicles. In electric vehicles

high frequency noise is more prominent for the powertrain system. Electric Motor produces noise at a

frequency range of 2-3kHz. Electric vehicle also tested for pass-by-noise test at three different speed condition

as per ECE R 138 standard. Post-processing of the data performed in LMS simcenter Testlab software

Design of acoustic enclosure and prediction of gearbox noise through vibration velocity

using mathematical model

Mr. Shashank Badgujar (TGTC, ARAI HTC)

Insertion loss, Sound pressure level, Sound power level, Transmission loss, Vibration velocity

Abstract

This thesis deals with the design of adjustable and portable acoustic enclosure which can provide the sound

reduction of minimum 20dB and to predict gearbox noise through vibration velocity. The background noise in

dB(A) of test lab was recoded for two conditions one when blower and dynamometer are working and other

when both are not working. After which materials to be used in enclosure for better sound reduction was

reviewed and mathematical model for both barrier and porous absorber material is created using MATLAB

SIMULINK to define the best suitable material for the application. Based on mathematical model 1.5mm thick

steel as barrier material is selected as it provide good TL for same thickness of Aluminum and 100mm

Rockwool as absorber material is selected because it possess good absorption coefficient and already

available in lab for use. As per ISO 3745 the enclosure dimension is finalized that is 3m x 3m x 2.6m which can

be again adjusted to 3m x 1.45m x 2.6m according to size of component to be tested inside of enclosure.

CATIA V5 is used to model the 3D drawing of enclosure and INSUL 9.0 software is used to predict the sound

transmission loss from the wall (including steel and Rockwool) of enclosure. The INSUL 9.0 result shows the

STC (Sound transmission class) of 58 without considering sound leakages through openings but in actual

practice the opening will be present and lead to reduction in STC value to nearly 40. The insertion loss (IL) of

enclosure considering no sound leakages is obtained as 38dB using approximate formula which provides the

relationship between IL, TL and absorption coefficient. While in actual practice the acoustic leakages takes

place from the opening which exists in acoustic enclosure, so considering an acoustic leakage through 0.8% of

opening from enclosure, the IL is obtained as 21.3dB. The vibration velocity data and sound pressure level of

gearbox using 1/3rd octave band employing set of uniaxial accelerometer and microphones are acquired. This

vibration data is fed to mathematical model made in MATLAB SIMULINK that convert the vibration data into

sound power level and sound pressure level. The result shows the deviation of sound power level obtained

using mathematical model from sound power level measured using microphone is 1.88 dB from 3150Hz to

10000Hz and maximum deviation in lower frequency range.

Development & Calibration of Real Time FRM of an Engine in GT-SUITE for ECU testing

on a HIL system

Mr. Arvind Ranganathan

HIL,FRM,Time Step,Calibration,ANN,Virtual Testing

Abstract

Hardware in the loop testing is a technique that is used in the development and testing of a complex real-time

embedded system. This process reduces the cost, time and Man power required. The Present thesis deals

with creation of one-dimensional (1D) real-time capable simulation model for a heavy-duty diesel engine. The

objective is to facilitate effective model adjustments and hence further increase the application of Hardware-in-

the-Loop (HIL) virtual testing environments in powertrain development. The Present work illustrates the

development of four-cylinder diesel Fast Running Model (FRM) in GT-SUITE simulation software. The cylinder,

gas-path modelling and the best calibration practices are presented in detail. Calibration order for individual

simplified subsystems are from Exhaust manifold, Exhaust pipe, Intake manifold, Boost pipes and Inlet pipes.

The Model is validated with the development engine data and after HIL Testing the Test cell data and HIL test

data will be compared. The maximum variations for the parameters like Turbine inlet temperature, Turbine

outlet pressure, compressor outlet pressure between the 1D model and FRM recorded are 3.17,4.7,4.32%.

The results for engine performance and exhaust emissions produced satisfactory agreement with experimental

data. ANN is modelled to predict the NOx emissions without running the engine in real time. The Actual and

predicted targets are analysed to predict the performance of the Network. The Maximum and minimum

accuracy obtained between the Actual and predicted NOx emissions is 96 & 80%.

Development & Calibration of 1D Model for a Pressure Drop Across Diesel Particulate

Filter (DPF)

Dr. K.C. Vora , Mr. P.V.Deshpande

Diesel particulate filter, pressure drop, 1D analysis

Abstract

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device designed to filter the diesel particulate matter from the exhaust

gas of a diesel engine. The DPF is can be used with other after treatment devises, such as Diesel oxidation

catalyst (DOC) and Selective catalyst reduction (SCR) so as to achieve the clean exhaust gases before

emission in the atmosphere. In this thesis, 1D model of DPF is developed to analyze a pressure drop across

the filter over a standard test cycle for a diesel engine. Thereafter to calibrate the predicted 1D model of DPF

to reproduce experimental result obtained from engine test bench. Experimental investigation was carried on a

engine test bench for a clean filter DPF to compare the measure data and predicted data. During the design

and development phase of DPF model various parameters which affects the performance of DPF are

analyzed. these parameters such as size of DPF, geometric parameters such as open frontal area, CPSI,

effective length, etc. The pressure drop is one of the most important parameters caused by DPF due to its

blockage effect. To improve the engine performance, the pressure drop of DPF needs to be manage, this

includes clean filter pressure drop, soot loaded pressure drop. During the performance of DPF, non-

combustible ash gets accumulated in the DPF which affects the DPF as well as power output of engine, fuel

consumption negatively hence pressure drop must not exceed a specified limit. To predict the pressure drop

generated by DPF various model are developed and simulated using GT-Suite. The predicted pressure drop

of a DPF model shall follow a measured pressure drop with an acceptable accuracy within 10%. To get

optimized DPF parametric study was carried on variety of DPF parameters, such as, CPSI, Length, diameter

of a filter. From the results it is evident that from a pressure drop standpoint, it is imperative that the filter length

should be greater than 200 mm.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF TURBOCHARGER TURBINE HOUSING DIVIDER WALL

TO REDUCE CRACKS

Ms. Punyavathi G, Technical Specialist

divider wall, cracks, Stress Intensity Factor.

Abstract

The radial cracks in the turbine housing divider wall cannot be avoided as divider wall tip is exposed to

extreme temperature and drastic variations. Cracks such as through-cracks would permit the exhaust gases to

leak, which will lead to standards noncompliance. Usually, turbochargers are validated for thermal cycles and

endurance in the laboratories. Simulations of the above tests can help predict the failures.

Thermomechanical fatigue of the turbine housing divider wall is majorly driven by the temperature distribution

along the length of the divider wall and the constraint section like the outer wall and the side walls of the turbine

housing. Divider wall tip being the weakest, the cracks incubates at that location and propagates radially due

to dominating tangential loading. Stress Intensity Factor K1, Mode 1 crack loading is the critical parameter in

crack growth studies and the same is analyzed for different available concepts. This work aims at proposing a

robust design to reduce through-cracks. The divider wall tip design proposed can change the direction of the

crack and there by avoid through cracks. The stress intensity factor, K1 of the crack are analyzed by using

Static Crack approach in Ansys Workbench. The reduction is the SIF K1 parameter are analyzed on

comparison with current design.

A sphere shape tip divider wall is proposed to reduce the temperature at the tip of the divider wall and the

crack propagation direction can be changed by changing the crack incubation location. The radial cracks of

different length are studied for the stress intensity factor, K1. The sphere shape tip showed 28% reduction in

stress intensity factor K1 on comparison with the base model.

Fluid Efficiency Improvement of BS-VI Diesel Engine

Dr. K.C. Vora (Sr. Deputy Director and Head ARAI Academy)

BSFC, Urea consumption, Fuel efficiency, Performance, Emission

Abstract

The world is fighting against air pollution and so does India which is the 7th

largest country in world with a population of 1.3

billion people. Every year millions of vehicles are sold in India and the vehicles running on the road are one of the major

contributors to the air pollution. The country has taken a leap frog jump from BS-IV to BS-VI, it has been implemented

throughout the nation from April 2020 onwards. Goods transportation vehicle pollutes the environment to a greater extent than

the passenger vehicles due to poor maintenance of the vehicle and poor road conditions as well. With the implementation of

BS-VI, SCR system is the most important after-treatment system for the reduction of NOx in diesel engine. AdBlue solution is

used in SCR system for NOx reduction, the AdBlue cost has to be bear by the customer in addition to the fuel cost. The

project is carried out to reduce the fuel consumption and urea consumption (w.r.t. fuel) in BS-VI compliant heavy-duty diesel

engine. Various trials are conducted on engine test bed and as well as with on-road vehicle to improve the fluid efficiency of an

engine. The work is done to improve the fluid efficiency of an 8L, 6-cylinder heavy duty diesel engine which is used in both

trucks and buses. The test cell is equipped with transient dynamometer along with variety of sophisticated equipment. The

same engine can be configured to work as 260 hp, 300 hp or 350 hp depending upon the application of vehicle. The duty

cycle taken on the truck for specific routes are recorded using Vision software by ATI Accurate Technologies. Vision software

is used to record the real time vehicle data which is required for calibration purpose. The same duty cycle is made to run with

the engine on test bed to compare the performance and emission parameters with that obtained on actual vehicle. Calibration is

done to enhance the performance and emission characteristics of an engine. Newly installed clutch type air compressor has

yielded BSFC improvement of 0.75 % due to reduction in friction power. Optimization of rail pressure and injection timing for

high engine operating zone has reduced the urea consumption (w.r.t. fuel) by 0.5 %. For post-processing purpose AVL

Concerto software is used which also helps to compare the data based on engine calibration. Calibrating the engine for fluid

efficiency is a very critical task, since it will not only affect the engine performance and emission characteristics but also the

operating cost of the vehicle.

Project Guide Mr. Hitesh B. Choudhari (PTE Department, ARAI, Pune)

Key Words Heavy duty hybrid electric vehicle, MATLAB-Simulink, HIL, SCU, WHVC, JE05.

Abstract

Today’s world is facing problems like air pollution, global warming and increase in fossil fuel due to heavy

demand. Many governments in the world made stringent emission norms for automotive industry to reduce these

problems, Conventional Heavy-Duty Vehicles are mostly responsible for the pollution hence the Heavy-Duty

Hybrid Electric Vehicles are used to mitigate the emissions. Hence the use of Hybrid Electric Vehicles can be a

solution to reduce these problems.

This project aims to explore type-approval-test method for Heavy Duty Hybrid Electric Vehicles by using

hardware-in-loop simulation method, HIL test method is based on Japanese regulation Kokujikan No. 281 The

main purpose of the HIL method is to generate an engine test cycle from vehicle speed cycle. The Hybrid electric

Vehicle will be modelled in MATLAB-Simulink, the model will consist of an engine and various other elements

such as a motor/generator and a rechargeable battery. The Hybrid control strategies will be implemented into the

Simulink model and software in loop simulation will be done. The Control strategies will be deployed into a

controller (Arduino/Raspberry pi) which will act as supervisory control unit (SCU). The engine cycle generated

out of the vehicle speed cycle (WHVC/JE05 or similar) is then used for calculating mass of fuel consumed and

the pollutant emissions from the engine test bench in the same way as it is done for a conventional engine.

Design and analysis of two wheeler spoke rim for tubeless tires

Mr. Pramod Hande (CAE, ARAI HTC)

FEM, Static structural, fatigue, modal, dynamic, CAE

Abstract

Tire is a vital component in two wheeler automobiles. In case of two wheelers there are mainly two type of

wheel rims are present. One is cast wheels which are single piece rim produced by casting. Another type of

wheel rim is Spoke type. In this century there are a lot of inventions are happening in case of cast wheels due

to some advantages. Also these cast wheels have some major disadvantages in some cases like off road

applications. There is another fact that there are still a major part of two wheelers which uses spoke rim wheel

architecture. The reason behind this is they offer less aerodynamic drag and they have far more capacity of

absorbing impact shock. So due to this spoke wheel architecture is still being used in many two wheeler

vehicles. Also there is another catch that cast wheel rim offers advantage of using tubeless wheels which offers

many advantages over spoke wheel rims. Spoke wheel rims can’t be used with tubeless tires which same

existing rims available. So taking this into consideration this thesis is about designing a new spoke rim for

tubeless tires.

In this thesis a new two wheeler front wheel rim is designed that can be used with tubeless tire. Usual design

of spoke rim has holes at the circumference of rim which makes the wheel to be used with tube tire only, the

new design do not support piercing holes on the circumference of rim. The spoke are attached in inverted

manner and the necessary changes in rim inside surface and at hub sections are designed. A circular hoop is

added to rim and cross holes are made on hub in order to join the spoke in inverted manner. This will avoid the

holes on circumference of rim and it is a simplest way to make rim useful for tubeless tire. For the designed rim

four analysis has been carried out for its fundamental strength analysis and its natural frequency analysis. A

basic benchmarked rim is modelled and the strengths are compared with new designed rim. A static structural

analysis is carried out which states that maximum von misces stress coming as 71.827 MPa with minimum

factor of safety 2.8819 under designed set of conditions. It also shows that maximum shear stress occurring is

40.307 MPa with minimum factor of safety 2.5678. A dynamic analysis is carried out with designed set of

conditions which shows von misces maximum von misces stress of 72MPa and maximum shear stress of

47MPa with minimum factors of safety of 2.88 and 2.2045 respectively. A modal analysis carried out with static

loading and without loading (Free State) condition gives natural frequency of 223.19 Hz and 2.7406 Hz

respectively.

Control strategy development for a clutchless P1 hybrid electric two wheeler

Mr. Ashwin S K (TG, ARAI)

Control strategy,P1 hybrid,BLDC Motor

Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicles are having more importance than ever in this age. As the automotive industry in India is

moving towards complete electrification, which is still a developing technology, the hybrid vehicles act as a

transition phase between conventional vehicles and electric vehicles. This work focuses on developing a

control strategy for a clutchless P1 hybrid electric two wheeler. In case of a P1 hybrid vehicle, the electric

machine is directly mounted on the engine crankshaft. The electric motor used in the vehicle which is a BLDC

motor can provide drive at only low speeds. At higher speeds, engine takes care of torque requirements and

the motor can only act as a generator. So it is important for the motor to satisfy the torque requirements in the

low speed range. The motor has to provide not only the required torque for driving, but has to overcome the

engine friction and inertial resistances. So a proper control strategy has to be developed for delivering

required amount of torque and improving overall system efficiency. So in the current work, modelling and

simulation of engine is done to obtain the torque corresponding to engine frictional and inertial resistances and

an experimental setup has been designed and developed to validate the results. The torque values obtained

Abstract

Two-wheelers, i.e., bikes, have become more and more efficient as times changed and present-day bikes

already run on a four-stroke gasoline engines capable high efficiency with better mileage than those

working on two-stroke. With higher efficiencies, lower emissions and better mileage conditions, the

tolerances between different rotating and moving parts have been decreasing to accommodate the higher

performance. Hence, as every part is made of particular fixed materials with precise measurements, they

each have their own particular noise frequency which acts as its acoustic signature. These acoustic

signatures can be viewed as peaks on a frequency domain plot. When any fault is determined to be

present, these signatures go through a change in Frequency (Hz) or Loudness (dB) or both. Comparing

the before and after fault plots, the difference can be recognized easily, thus detecting the fault. This thesis

aims to detect faults in a 150cc motorcycle using MATLAB programming. MATLAB allows for feature

extraction from time and frequency domain plots amounting to a total of 711 sub-feature across 23

different types of main features. The before and after fault feature data can then be fed into a Machine

Learning Algorithm. MATLAB provides an all in one ML algorithm app that can easily train and validate in-

built ML algorithms through cross-validation. The Technological Readiness Level (TRL) of the research is

at 3, that is, at Experimental Proof of Concept stage. The accuracy provided by the various ML programs

are at-least at 95%. This means that the ML algorithm can differentiate between the normal and the faulty

conditions from their time and frequency domain plot features at an accuracy rate of 95%.

CABIN NOISE REDUCTION BY OPTIMIZING HVAC BLOWER

Mr. Pradeepkumar Mani (Dept. Manager Simulation - Mechanics R&D, Valeo India

HVAC, Blower, Aeroacoustics, unbalance, modal analysis

Abstract

Due to the electrification of cars, the noise generated by the powertrain has drastically reduced. Mobile air

conditioning system or heat, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system dominates the noise emission

when the car is at standstill or driven at low speeds. Even at high vehicle speeds, the HVAC noise can be

prominent in the high-frequency range. To improve passenger comfort, noise and vibrations from the mobile air

conditioning system need to be reduced. To achieve this goal, earlier HVAC units were tested on test benches

which required a lot of prototyping and consumed a large amount of time. Due to the advancements in

computer-aided design and engineering, the changes to improve acoustic and vibrational qualities of the

HVAC unit can be done during the design phase with minimal effort. The blowers experience undesirable large-

amplitude whirling oscillations associated with resonance at critical speeds. So, it is important to predict the

critical speeds and then shift them out of the operating range. FEA solver is used to final the resonant

frequencies and critical speeds. The difference between the experimental and numerical results for modal

analysis is within 7%. The blower in the HVAC is found to be one of the dominant sources of noise, as rotating

fans generate turbulent flow. A detailed literature survey along with a methodology for aeroacoustics simulation

of blower is presented in this work. Unbalance analysis of the blower using FEA solver is done to correlate with

the experimental results. Unbalance analysis simulation can be used during the design process for future

blowers.

Improving performance of single cylinder gasoline engine by preheat inlet air.

Mr. H. Gayen (General Manager) and Mr. Pramod Hande (Research Faculty ARAI

Air Preheater, Heat Exchanger, ANSYS Fluent, Gasoline Engine.

Abstract

In current situation worldwide availability of fuel is very less due to their consequences fuel cost increases and

reaching new heights. Automotive is one of the sector which consume more fuel, so there is need to improve

efficiency upcoming as well as existing engine.

In this report we modified the air intake system of single cylinder, 4 stroke air cooled gasoline engine to

increases the fuel efficiency. Preheating inlet air is one of the way to improve thermal efficiency of SI engine. In

this project we are using a heat exchanger to increase the temperature of inlet air up to considerable amount.

Due to increasing inlet air temperature thermal efficiency of engine increases also improve fuel economy.

However, there will be power loss due to reducing volumetric efficiency. For preheating inlet air, we are using

exhaust gas. Waste heat recovery is one of the way to utilize exhaust heat energy, it is help to conserves fuel

also reduce greenhouse effect. Heat exchanger, steel tubes and muffler are designed as per the dimensions

taken from Pulsar 150-DTSi in Solid works and thermal analysis and flow simulation of the system is carried

out by using in ANSYS Fluent software.

Single cylinder gasoline engine need to supply inlet air up to 48-50° C for without much compromising

volumetric efficiency. For different inlet air condition 5°, 10° and 27°C, the simulation result shows outlet air

temperature of heat exchanger at steady state condition are 25.95°, 30.8° and 47.32° C as well as for transient

condition outlet air temperature of heat exchanger are 78.18°, 82.63°, and 98.14°C respectively.

Abstract

In the present times, automotive industry is more focused on providing maximum extent of comfort to passengers by

improvising tyre design. Generally, a Finite Element (FE) model of tyre provides inherent advantage of analysing tyre dynamic

behaviour. In this paper, we are proposing a methodology to develop a three- dimensional FE model of tyre along with its

validation using experimental tests in determining the noise generated by tyre. The CAD model of the tyre was generated by

using image scanning process. The Finite Element model was generated with material properties extracted from actual tyre

using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). For validation of tye FE model, experimental tests like vertical deformation test, tyre

footprint test, etc. were conducted and these results exhibit good correlation with simulated results. After validating the model,

noise genertaed by tyre under free condtion with application of unit force was calculated. In addition to this, overall noise

analysis of tyre was also performed on test rig by placing microphones in close proximity of tyre. Different conditions were

used like change in pressure, increase in load and speeds were used in achieving the objective. It was evident that with increase

in speed and pressure, the noise generated by tyre also increased over the frequency range of 1 kHz to 8 kHz.

Design and development of air filter fault detection system

Mr. Vishal Randev ( Sr. Manager, VECV, Pithampur)

Air filter, air intake fault detection, SIMULINK

Abstract

In vehicles engine performance with regulated emissions plays crucial role. In IC engine clean air with desire

quantity is required to burn fuel by providing oxygen. Along with oxygen air contain various dust particles &

debris which can cause harm and reduce the life of an engine. So, clean and continuous supply of air is

required for which an air filter is required. Over the period of engine run, debris & dust get collected on air filter.

As debris accumulation increases on filter, air flow gets restricted. Due to air restriction engine breathing

hinders and which affect power torque generation ultimately causes vehicle stopped.

It is very important to change filter on time after clogging. Also, some methods are developed based on sensor

which identify clogging but solutions are not reliable due to absence of sensor diagnostic. The Paper presents

a reliable solution with less cost. Here system is developed to identify air filter clogging which prompt the driver

to change filter. Also, sensor diagnostic included which warn driver for system failure. Now it is difficult for

driver to find service centre immediately to change filter. To overcome this issue additionally algorithm is also

developed in ECU which indicates filter life on driver display unit by which driver can plan for filter change

proactively.

Abstract

The brake is a decisive functioning part of the automobiles which is designed for the power absorption. Due to

the major losses during braking (majorly in city cycle), the regenerative braking concept (conservation of

energy) has been focused in hybrid and electric vehicles to boost the efficiency. In recent days this

regeneration has became the pivotal area of focus in research discipline in automotives as fossil fuels are

limited. The feasibility to recover the vehicle lost heat or energy dissipated, otherwise kinetic energy due to

friction brake is recuperated by the regenerative braking, converts into electrical energy with the help of

generator to charge the battery which improves the range of the electric and hybrid vehicles. This regenerative

concept also reduces the emissions in the hybrid electric vehicles and also improves the fuel economy with the

hybridization. This paper interprets the control challenges that are confronted during simulation and

experimental procedure and also presents the design solutions to inscription to these challenges. A

MATLAB/SIMULINK regenerative braking model with the motor/generator control strategy with boost converter

and battery controller using PI is build and simulated in the UDDC (1369 sec) driving cycle for the DC supply

power as well as AC power supply. For the input data to the simulation, the real time data of the pulsar 220fi is

recorded by using different sensors (vehicle speed sensor, engine speed sensor, throttle body sensor, clutch

position sensor, brake position sensor, gear position sensor, accelerometer) with the help of ATMEGA 2560

microcontroller by using Arduino software in the real time environmental conditions. The prototype was

designed and developed based on the real time environmental conditions with the help of motor/generator,

tyres and wheels, coupling, shaft and brake pads. Now, the experimental procedure is performed at different

speeds of motor and at different brake pedal force. The validation is done by simulation and experimental

results in terms of efficiency. Finally, the simulation and experimental results will illustrate the performance of

the developed regenerative braking model.

Abstract

After treatment devices are used to treat the engine out emissions like CO, HC, PM and NOx. After treatment

devices for diesel engine consist of diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), and

selective catalytic reduction (SCR). As the emission norms becoming more stringent, the use of after treatment

devices like DOC, DPF and SCR become necessary and has made mandatory by legislation. After treatment

device performance depends on several factors like temperature, pressure drop, flow distribution index,

substrate geometry, substrate cell density / catalyst surface area, precious group metal loading (PGM) etc.

Among these performance factors, in this project, the focus is on the pressure drop because of high back

pressure, Skin temperature and fatigue life of the system. These performance parameters are defined keeping

in mind the customer requirements and packaging constraints. The boundary conditions for random vibration

analysis and power spectrum analysis are defined to replicate the testing bed scenario. Whereas the flow and

thermal boundary conditions take into account the maximum mass flow rate and maximum temperatures. In this

project, the fatigue life of weld joints is computed using ANSYS workbench. The flow and thermal analysis are

computed using ANSYS CFx.

Modelling and simulation of Spherical PEMFC

Mr. Aatmesh Jain (Engineer, ARAI Academy)

PEM fuel cell, Performance, CATIA, Ansys Fluent, current density.

Abstract

PEM fuel cell is an electrochemical device that uses hydrogen and oxygen gas as reactants to produce electric

current. This current is used for onboard charging of the battery pack in an automobile. PEMFC performance

depends on its operating parameters, reactant gases and construction of the fuel cell mostly flow-field and

catalyst, the performance drops due to losses and water logging. Therefore, to improve the performance of the

fuel cell we can optimise the operating parameters, change the catalysts, change the flow field or entirely

change the architecture of the fuel cell. In this study a new architecture, spherical PEM fuel cell is proposed to

reduce the losses and water logging so as to improve the performance of the fuel cell effectively. A base model

of serpentine flow field single cell PEMFC is prepared in CATIA, simulated in Ansys Fluent and verified the

results with experimental data. A spherical PEMFC (SPEMFC) is modelled in CATIA with same geometrical

active surface area and simulated in Ansys Fluent and the results of base model PEMFC and SPEMFC are

compared for performance and it is found that the performance in terms of current density of the SPEMFC

increases drastically 76% approximately

PREDICTION OF FAULTS USING VIBRATION ANALYSIS FOR AUTOMOTIVE

APPLICATIONS

K. P. Wani (Manager, ARAI Academy)

Vibration Condition Monitoring, Vibration Signature, Machine Learning

Abstract

Vibration Analysis on automobile parts have been done before fitment to detect minute surface and sub-

surface cracks and other defects. While there are many other fault detection methods, vibration analysis has

been used due to its low requirements in equipment, resources and fast data acquisitions. Vibration Condition

Monitoring is the process through which the current working condition of a machine can be ascertained by

using vibration analysis. This paper deals with the condition monitoring and prediction of faults in a two-

wheeler (150cc motorcycle). Since each part in the vehicle is distinct, during working, each part produces its

own distinct vibration signature. Using accelerometers – an ADXL 335, a MPU6050 and an in-built

smartphone accelerometer, the vibrations produced were recorded. Faults were introduced into the vehicle by

replacing the normal parts with faulty parts. These data were imported to MATLAB software. From the

vibrational data recorded before and after the introduction of the faults, time and frequency domain plots were

created. From these plots, features were extracted that amounted to a total of 23 features and 711 Sub-

features. From these features, Machine Learning Algorithms were trained and cross-validated to

obtain differentiation among faults. MATLAB provides with various M/L programs inbuilt to facilitate easy

coding. The accuracy obtained was higher than at least 95%.
