M.Tech Project Details Title : Improvement of the performance and mechanical efficiency of the engine by decreasing

the frictional power loss at the engine mechanical systems

Project Guide : Mr. Vikas Agarwal, Mr. Inamdar, Prof. Vijayakumar Key Words : Extended Expansion,Split cycle engine, Two stroke Engine Abstract - Engine designers today are faced with two paramount obstacles viz. rising demand for fuel efficient vehicles and stricter emission control norms. In this regard, the piston liner interface is a very important part of the engine, as it is the source of almost half of the frictional loss of an engine and defines the blowby, lubrication oil consumption and to some extent influences the hydro carbon emission.

A single cylinder 4-stroke gasoline engine is taken up for study. A simulation model is built to analyze the piston and ring dynamics using commercially available code. FMEP of the engine is measured by conducting a tear down motoring test and correlated with the analytical results. The blowby output of the simulation model is validated with experimentally measured value of the fired engine. The effect of oil viscosity and liner temperature on the friction power loss is studied. The piston skirt profile modifications are recommended which would not compromise on the scuffing and seizure resistance.

Lesser studied phenomenon such as the effect of ring end gap position on blowby and HC emissions are studied in detail. Piston ring dynamic phenomenon such as ring flutter, ring collapse with their effect on oil consumption and reverse blowby are discussed. The approach and methodology elaborated in the study can be incorporated in design stage for any gasoline engine to improve its efficiency and performance.

Title : CAE based parametric study on seat design for whiplash performance requirements.

Project Guide : Pratap Daphal , Divisional Manager, ERC-Crash, Tata Motors.

Key Words : whiplash, doe, neck injury, rear impact, head restraint.

Abstract - Whiplash injuries caused by rear impacts have been reported by many researches. So car manufacturers have been trying to design a seat with head restraint system to protect passengers from whiplash injuries. The objective of this paper is to present an analytical and efficient approach to assist engineers in analyzing the design parameters of the seat and head restraint system and thereby reducing the injury criterion values. The CAE simulation model with BioRID dummy were assembled using LS Dyna software to correlate to rear impact sled tests according to Euro-NCAP whiplash protocol. The correlated model was adopted in Design of Experiments (DOE) studies using HyperStudy software to explore all the significant design parameters influencing occupant neck injuries. Simulation for high severity sled pulse and evaluation of rear impact whiplash injuries was successfully done using Ls Dyna. DOE using Hyperstudy was found effective to know the interactions of whiplash design variables and their effect on injury output criterions. An optimal set of design parameters which gives least whiplash injuries were identified after running two DOE setups and analyzing all the simulations with different design variable combinations. Seat back cushion stiffness has the highest effect on NIC after HR backset and HR height. By the modifications done to the seatback cushion stiffness, head restraint height and backset the injury levels were significantly reduced.

The head restraint contact time (T-HRC) was reduced by 30ms.

The upper neck shear force (Fx) was reduced by 44%.

Neck Injury Criterion was reduced by 31% compared to baseline model.

Project Guide : Dr. K.C Vora, Dr. Yagnavalkya Mukkamala, Mr. Vinod Patel

Key Words : Drag, lift, wind tunnel, simulation Abstract - When objects move through air, forces are generated by the relative motion between the air and surfaces of the object. Aerodynamics is the study of these forces generated by the air. It is essential that aerodynamics be taken in to account during the design of cars as an improved aerodynamics in car would attain higher speeds and more fuel efficiency. For attaining this aerodynamic design the cars are designed lower to the ground and are usually sleek in design and almost all corners are rounded off, to ensure smooth passage of air through the body, in addition to it a number of enhancements like spoilers, wings are also attached to the cars for improving aerodynamics.

Aerodynamic efficiency plays an important role in the automotive industry, as the push for increased fuel economy becomes a larger factor in Engineering & Design process. Thus need arises to improve this efficiency by doing whole vehicle Aerodynamic Analysis. Latest CFD simulation software was used to analyze the air flow over the vehicle body profile. Parameters like Drag coefficient, Lift forces, streamline paths, pressure at required locations were found, which help in study & optimization of aerodynamic efficiency. The simulation Results were validated by testing a reduced scale model of the vehicle in a Wind Tunnel. Scaled model of 1:4 was selected for testing at low speed wind tunnel at aerospace engineering department, IISC, Bangalore. The sports car achieved a low drag coefficient of 0.29 with no downforce. Instead it had a positive lift coefficient of 0.16. This can be reduced and converted to downforce by providing front splitter and rear wing. Further optimization of the required Aerodynamic parameters was not done, since there was no much scope for doing design changes.

M.Tech Project DetailsTitle : Design and development of Cylinder bore deformation FE Analysis methodology for Inline

engines.

Project Guide : Mr P. S. Bhat

Key Words : Cylinder Bore deformation, FE analysis, FFT analysis.

Abstract - Due to the current federal requirements for increasing vehicle fuel economy, more engineering resources are allocated to the up-front analysis with the purpose of increasing vehicle fuel economy. Engine friction is one of the biggest factors influencing the fuel economy. The cylinder bore distortion plays an important role for the friction between the sliding pistons and the cylinder bore. The quality of the cylinder bore distortion has significant impact on the overall engine efficiency and performance. The cylinder bore distortion will result into consequences such as power loss, blow-by, oil consumption, and NVH issues. To meet the cylinder bore distortion requirements, the engineering community turns efforts to the early design stage during product development. The CAE applications in the design of automotive engine have become an essential tool Both the cost and cycle of the product development benefit from its usages. This thesis discusses FEA analysis procedure that could be used to evaluate the cylinder bore distortion due to clamp of head bolt. In this study a methodology to estimate bore distortions is introduced. Cylinder bore deformation due to head bolt clamp loading is predicted using FEA analysis package MSC NASTRAN for 3 cylinder inline Diesel engine. The effect of various parameters like increase in pretension force on amount of bore deformation. The predicted results are compared with available data and fair agreement have been observed.

Title : Evaluation of Parameter Estimation Techniques for Simple Structures

Project Guide : RAMKUMAR, Deputy Manager, NVH Lab, ARAI

Key Words : Modal Parameters, Parameter estimation techniques

Abstract - Modal analysis is a specialized tool which has been used for many years to reliably estimate various parameters such as natural frequency, mode shape and damping. Since these parameters have direct relevance to the behaviour of any component or structure and the resultant vibrations, the methods used for evaluation of these have been taken up as a part of this project. MATLAB is a platform that serves analysis purpose and offers many advantages over dedicated, menu driven systems. Open function assure flexibility and possibility to modify functions for specific needs and also providing traceability and quality assurance. The current thesis targets to make a comparative evaluation of various modal parameter estimators and develop a hybrid estimation methodology using existing MATLAB tools for determining modal parameters for simple structures. FRF measurements on simple structures are carried out and the data is processed using MATLAB run parameter estimators. The computed results are compared and advantages and limitations of the estimators are discussed.

M.Tech Project Details Title : Damping Patch application and optimization

Project Guide : Mr. K.P.Wani, Faculty ARAI Academy

Key Words : NVH, ERP, Noise sensitivity, Patch contribution, mass reduction Abstract - In automotive applications, now a day’s emphasis is given on the noise isolation especially High end luxury car manufacturer like Mercedes-Benz, where vehicles are rated on NVH characteristics. Manufacturers put a special emphasis on being quiet customer pays lot for a luxury car, so they should expect to ride in comfort. Vibration damping plays a crucial role in the acoustical performance of an automobile. In order to achieve the vehicle overall NVH objectives, damping treatment of the body panels needs to be optimized.

This thesis presents a CAE simulation method for application and optimization of damping material attached on vehicle body panels incorporated with trimmed body calculation up to 500 Hz. The developed method uses modal strain-energy information of bare structural panels to identify flexible regions. Damping sheets are modelled by using double layer shell element whose neutral plane are located away from the middle plane of the elements. Performance of damping patch is evaluated by calculating ERP, P/F function, Patch contribution factor. Root cause analysis is done at frequency where degradation is observed by direct frequency analysis. Damping patches are removed which are doesn’t have any influence acoustic performance on the basis of patch contribution analysis. Again modal strain-energy and patch contribution information is used for optimization with respect to size. The developed optimization technique is applied to reduce the weight of the damping sheets on the floor panels of a car model. Total weight reduction achieved after patch contribution and optimization is 0.99 Kg. Moreover, the vehicle model realized the optimal configuration proves to attain the almost the same noise level as one with the original configuration.

Title : Numerical Simulation of Spray Injection Calibration for a Diesel Engine

Project Guide : Balamurugan R, N.H. Walke, T. Vijayakumar

Key Words : Diesel spray, injection pressure, penetration length, spray models

Abstract - Recent diesel engines are aimed to achieve good performance and efficiency with controlled emissions. A complicated diesel spray phenomenon plays an important role in achieving controlled combustion in the field of diesel engines. It is necessary to understand the behaviour of spray characteristics which will give substantial advances in the performance of fuel injection systems. Numerically simulating the spray and result for predicting and controlling diesel spray will reduce the cost and reduce the number of prototype usage. The outcome of the spray simulation can be implemented for diesel combustion simulation to achieve a satisfactory engine performance.

In this study an experimental and numerical simulation was carried out on diesel spray to investigate its characteristic behaviour such as penetration length, atomization, droplet distribution and spray angle etcetera, for different injection pressures. Prediction of spray behaviour over pressure gives way to find the suitable injector for an engine. Grid independency is done to have an optimised grid size by making a trade-off between accuracy, simulation time and cost. The impact of various spray breakup models is studied and its influencing parameters on primary and secondary breakup mechanism were optimised. Also the effect of turbulence models and its constants, total parcels and maximum cells used for adaptive meshing were analysed. From the numerical results and analysis, the optimum parameters were decided to predict the spray behaviour closer to the test bench results.

SCENARIO

Project Guide : Mr. Shailesh Kudale, Team Leader , Crash Department, ERC TATA Motors Ltd, Pune

Key Words : DOE (design of experiments), MADYMO, Hypermesh, OptiSLang, Lower extremity injuries, instrument panel stiffness.

Abstract - In frontal accidents, the second most injuries occur on lower extremities. one of primary reasons for leg injuries is hard contact with the vehicle interiors. Vehicle interior parts like dashboard play critical role in governing the leg injuries. The leg injuries referred are injuries of the upper leg (femurs), knees and lower legs (tibia). To achieve a good overall rating of vehicle, there has been substantial focus on design for better energy absorbing dash board. The risk of knee injury is most sensitive to the instrument panel stiffness, crash pulse, delta-v and pre-crash distance between the knee and instrument panel. Vehicle manufacturer are in continuous pursuit of enhancing occupant safety. Along with optimization of vehicle body structure, vehicle interiors also play an important role in minimizing occupant injuries. The goal of this project is to conduct CAE based sensitivity analysis to study effects of dashboard design variables on occupant injury in frontal crash. The CAE tools used are MADYMO, Hypermesh and OptiSLang for efficient modelling and analysis. Sensitivity study is carried out with the help of OptiSLang tool. The number of critical variables regarding injuries is the outcome of analysis of sensitivity data. In this way a guideline to component designer can be established at the end of the project.

Title : Concept Development of valved two stroke engine with extended expansion

Project Guide : Mr. N. V. Marathe, Mr. K. P. Kavathekar, Prof. K. Senthil Kumar

Key Words : Extended Expansion,Split cycle engine, Two stroke Engine

Abstract - In the last 100 years, there has been enormous progress in the internal combustion engine field .Most of those inventions are biased towards conventional engines namely Otto cycle & Diesel cycle engines .In conventional engine, the gas pressure produced during combustion is not fully utilized since it has fixed Swept volume . But in case of Extended expansion engines the Swept volume are variable and hence it is possible to expand gases greater than conventional engines during power stroke.

In this project, an effort is being made to develop a new concept and also to do the feasibility study of valved two stroke engine with extended expansion .This concept engine is a split cycle design that separates the conventional four strokes of engine in two paired strokes through two chambers viz Compressor and Expander .Compressor part is used to carry out induction and compression strokes .The second part is called Expander which is used to carry out power and exhaust strokes and these cylinders are connected by means of transfer manifold.

Theoretical thermal Efficiency and GT simulation were used to determine the indicated thermal efficiency of research concept engine and compared with conventional engine.

M.Tech Project Details Title : Experimental Modal Analysis of Tire Project Guide : Mr Ashish Tiwari , AGM Tata Motors Key Words : Natural frequency,Modes,Damping Abstract - This research work introduces the experimental modal analysis of a passenger car tire for free-free boundary condition. Two methods such as Hammer and Electro-dynamic shaker employed for exciting the passenger car tire. Accelerometers are mounted to monitor the vibrations generated during the test. The accelerometers’ responses are measured both in the radial and tangential directions. Modal Parameters and mode shapes of the tire are extracted. Experimental modal analysis results based on above two excitation methods are compared.In experimental modal analysis of passenger car tire, the standard automobile tire (type 175/65 R14) tire with 32 psi pressure is hanged in free-free condition with three elastic cables. Impact by Hammer and Electro-dynamic shaker is applied for exciting the tire structure both in radial and tangential directions. Single Input and Multiple Output method is employed for excitation and response acquisition. Modal parameters of the tested tire are identified in the frequency domain with curve fitting technique LMS-Polymax. In-plane circumferential mode shapes, frequencies, and modal damping are compared. First acoustic air cavity mode of tire is calculated theoretically and compared with the experimental results obtained from both excitation techniques. In addition to above, sidewall and cross-sectional mode shapes of tire are also studied for excitation with shaker. The first eight natural frequencies of the tire are clearly visualized. The resonance natural frequencies for hammer excitation are 117.62 Hz, 125.67 Hz, 139.26 Hz, 162.85 Hz, 188.73 Hz, 215.89 Hz, and 244.98 Hz and with Shaker excitation are 118.47 Hz, 127.02 Hz, 139.36 Hz, 162.76 Hz, 188.45 Hz, 215.80 Hz, and 244.34 Hz. There is a minor difference in modal frequencies. It is noticed that bandwidth of the obtained input spectrum excitation with hammer is very limited as compared with the bandwidth obtained with shaker. Cavity mode damping changes significantly when shaker is used as excitation technique. There is significant difference in the amplitude of FRF when excited with hammer as compared with shaker. The free-free boundary condition results obtained in the above research work can be used for further testing in other boundary conditions such as fixed unloaded and fixed-loaded. Appropriate tire fixture can be designed for both boundary conditions. In plane circumferential modes natural and resonance frequencies will be measured for other boundary conditions using LMS Polymax techniques.

M.Tech Project Details Title : Noise Reduction in Automobile bu Optimization of Hood and Grill Parameters Project Guide : Mr. Shyamsundar T (industry guide), Mr K P Wani (ARAI guide), Prof M Senthilkumar (VIT

guide) Key Words : Abstract - Thesis presents a study of hood noise generated from a vehicle using commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The area of study comes under aeroacoustic study of vehicles. The whistling noise produced in the cavity formed at the hood and grill tip regions is the area of interest. The focus is to develop a methodology to optimize the parameters of front hood and grill region of a vehicle. The geometry considered for the study is a simplified geometry of front region of a vehicle which represents the actual hood and grill of the car. Design iterations are created by altering the offset of hood and varying the gap between the hood and grill. Some configurations were obtained and those were subjected to transient flow analysis. All the configurations obtained by changing the parameters were subjected to transient turbulent flow analysis followed by aeroacoustic analysis.The result contained Sound pressure levels obtained for various configurations and the frequency spectra for the same. CFD analysis helped in performing the virtual analysis of the model with less cost. The results gave a methodology to vary the parameters so that it can be used in the actual model to reduce the whistling noise. Apart from the parametric study, various studies have been conducted on the given geometry using different types of meshes and CFD solvers. The thesis presents study of hexcore as well as cutcell mesh generation process and their pros and cons. Turbulent models such as the RANS models as well as LES we used to find out the model which suits the particular case. The transient solver such as Non Iterative Time Advancement (NITA) as well as Iterative Time Advancement (ITA) solvers available in Fluent solver were used for the study. Some of the configurations produced less noise than the initial model. The study helped in developing a methodology to reduce the noise level. It is concluded that the CFD method is suitable for predicting relative performance, ranking design concepts, and optimizing geometry parameters of vehicle hood in a production engineering environment.

M.Tech Project Details Title : DEVELOP THE METHOD TO PREDICT DESIGN MARGIN FOR V-BAND CLAMP FAILURE

MODES INDUCED BY ASSEMBLY AND RANDOM VIBRATIONS Project Guide : Vilas Kulkarni Key Words : V-Band, PSD, Random vibration, Marmon Clamp Abstract - The off-road heavy duty vehicles are subjected to large number of forces like vibrations which are highly random in nature. This project aims in the prediction of the design margin of the V-Band clamp for failure modes induced by the random vibrations and assembly forces. The Marmon clamps are analyzed for random vibration fatigue by making use of analytical software ANSYS classic and experimental tests i.e. PSD shaker test. From these test and analysis it was found that the Marmon clamps are very well designed to take the static loads like the weight of the components, but the responses of the Marmon clamps at higher frequencies of excitation are very high and results in the damage of the component at higher frequencies. Comparison among the results of FEA and experimental work conclude the results are lying within 10% deviation which is well within the acceptable range. The current design margin set for the Marmon clamps are incapable of taking the Random vibration loads hence a new design margin of 2- 2.5 has to set by considering the maximum stress observed in the random vibration analysis. The entire method for the prediction is documented and a Process FMEA is performed, thus the critical processes in prediction method are also determined.

Title : Oil leak control in turbocharger

Project Guide : Dr. D. A. Subramani, Dr. C. Ramesh Kumar, Mr. P. G. Bhat

Key Words : Oil throw, labyrinth seal, flinger

Abstract - Turbocharger is a device consisting of an impeller and turbine to provide boost pressure air into the engine intake manifold for extracting more power from the engine. Since the shaft of the turbocharger rotates at speeds higher than one lakh rpm, it is important to take utmost care in lubricating the bearings. Providing an effective seal between the rotating components and the non-rotating components is always a tough task, given that the shaft rotates at very high speeds. The design criteria is concerned in containing the lubricating oil inside the bearing housing itself and in prolifically sealing the lubricating oil thereby refraining it from entering into the adjacent compressor housing.

Oil leak issue into the compressor side of the turbocharger, often referred to as oil throw, is a major problem in modern compact turbochargers. Even a small amount of oil leak into the compressor side leads to increased exhaust emission as the oil finds its way into the engine combustion chamber. It is difficult to completely curb the oil throw as a small amount of oil mist succeeds in infiltrating through the labyrinth seal. The infiltration of oil is aided by the high suction produced in the compressor. This tends to suck the lubricating oil from the lubrication chamber along with the atmospheric air.

The main objective of the project is to minimize/eliminate the oil leakage into the compressor side of the turbocharger thereby reducing the contribution of the oil in overall emission. It is a design and optimization project where various designs and modifications need to be undertaken on the turbocharger to minimize or eliminate the oil throw.

Title : BIW Torsional Stiffness Measurement

Project Guide : Mr. Sukhchain Singh, Mr. Prashant R. Pawar, Mr.Ravi K

Key Words : BIW Torsion, Benchmarking, Testing & CAE

Abstract - BIW (Body-in White) is a type of vehicle structure formed by spot welding of different sheet metal components. The BIW structure should be designed to support the maximum load potential. Thus the structure should have good strength as well as stiffness. Torsion Stiffness of BIW is the amount of torque required to cause a unit degree of twist. It is often considered as a benchmark of its structural competence due to its effect on various parameters like ride, handling, lateral load distribution and NVH performance of vehicle. The project aims to design and develop a test methodology and test fixtures for measuring the BIW torsion stiffness with repeatability of test results and also have an (R square>0.99) for the measured values in the test. The test methodology should be developed to suit all the MSIL chassis geometries. This project will aid in new product development and benchmarking activities.

Title : DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF CRANKSHAFT OF SINGLE CYLINDER SI ENGINE FROM BALANCING PERSPECTIVE

Project Guide : ZAKIRHUSEN K MEMON, SS RAMDASI, K RAVI

Key Words : VEHICLE VIBRATION CONTROL, ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY, BALANCER SHAFT

Abstract - The demand for quieter and low vibration vehicles is an increasing demand not only because of the stringent norms but also because of customer expectations. In a motorcycle the tactile point vibration like the handlebar, rider seat and rider footrest determine the vibration characteristic of the motorcycle. Motorcycle vibration control having single cylinder engine is an uphill task. Crankshaft balancing plays a major role in this regard. Understanding the unbalanced forces hence becomes quintessential. In this work a simple analytical method is proposed to calculate the unbalanced forces, its direction of action etc. The analytical results are correlated with the results from the software analysis conducted in multibody dynamics software. Trials are conducted by changing the direction of action of the unbalanced force using the above said analytical method to optimize the balancing. The analytical method is then extended to engine having a balancer shaft and crank offset. Balancer shaft is placed in an engine to minimize the vibrations, but it adds considerable amount of weight to the engine and manufacturing cost to the company, so in order to obtain satisfactory vibration characteristics without the balancer shaft a least force method has been proposed to find the best balancing factor for a given engine without the balancer shaft.

M.Tech Project Details Title : Improvement of Torque Curve & Transient Response of 5.9 Litre Diesel Engine Project Guide : Yusuf Poonawala, Executive Manager, CPE EBU Department, Cummins India Limited,

Pune Key Words : Diesel Engine, Torque, Transient Response, LDA, LFB, Emissions Abstract - The Compression Ignition engine is one of the most efficient thermal engine known. For construction equipment vehicle application requiring towing, load carrying and other tractive tasks, diesel engines tend to have better torque characteristics compared to petrol engines. Diesel engines combine excellent low-speed tractability with fuel-efficient cruising.Since past few decades continuous attempts has been made to enhance diesel engine power and torque and simultaneously reducing specific fuel consumption and emissions. The objective of the present work is to improve torque and transient response of the diesel engine while maintaining nominal speed and nominal fuel consumption. The focus of achieving this objective is through the process of fine tuning of fuel injection equipment like fuel injection pumps. On the other hand environmental concerns and government regulations on exhaust emission level of engine demand reduction in emissions to achieve the BSIII CEV stage3 emission norms applicable for off-road vehicles. Another major challenge during this project was the problems associated with relatively higher values of particulate emissions and NOX. In this work the target performance and emissions were achieved by calibrating auxiliary control modules – Manifold Pressure Compensator (LDA) and Load Sensitive start of Delivery (LFB) of Mechanical Distributor Fuel Injection Pump. Various tests like full throttle performance test (FTP), Transient test cycles and 8 mode emission cycle test were conducted on the engine to obtain the conclusion.After LDA & LFB Calibration there was approx. 6% improvement in peak torque as compared to baseline design. The peak torque also shifted to higher engine speed (rpm). Calibration of fuel pump has also led to approx. 10 % improvement in transient response of the engine, providing better back up torque. As compared to baseline design approx. 6% reduction in value of NOX was observed and PM was found to be almost same. All the emissions were observed to be within CEV BSIII limits.

Project Guide : Ayyappath Prajod

Key Words : Volumetric Efficiency, HC Emission, IDC Norms, Valve Over Lap period and Torque Abstract - The growing awarness of making an Environment friendly Engine, the ever increasing demand by customers for fuel efficient Engine and the Emission Norms becoming more stringent drives the Engineers and Scientist to burn their midnight oil. This project has the potential to reduce the Engine out HC and CO emission below 80% of IDC and WMTC norms. This project focus on reducing the emissions within combustion chamber with reduced need for spending on costly metals for after treatment. The HC emission from an SI engine mainly occurs during the Valve overlap period(Both intake and Exhaust valve remain open), this over lap is provided in order to improve the volumetric efficiency and for improving the high speed performance of the Engine. In this project a variable intake Manifold is made and it is tuned for maximum volumetric efficiency both at lower and Higher speeds , thus reducing the Valve overlap period to an optimum value with no compromise on performance through out the operating range. The Carburetor and the spark timing are optimized for Emissions and Maximum Braking Torque with the new Manifold System (Variable Intake manifold). The Complete Engine is modelled in GT Power and necessary flow datas are acquired through Proper CFD tools. The simulated results are validated using experimental results,obtained from Mass emission testing. Thus the Engine power and torque was improved along with Emission values,which adheres to the Emission Norms within a comfortable margin.

M.Tech Project Details Title : Improvement of Vibration Isolation in Passenger Car Rear Powertrain Mount Project Guide : Mr M. Madhan Key Words : NVH, Vibration Isolation, Transmissibility Ratio, Finite Element Model, FRF Abstract - Customer satisfaction in today`s era has become a prime motive of automotive manufacturers. Focus is upon excellent NVH characteristics and ride comfort of vehicle, and has evolved as a key USP and an important attribute to market the vehicle. Powertrain mounts form a link between the engine and chassis and thus is an important component which is subjected to serious vibrations arising from engine as well as chassis. It is necessary to isolate the vibrations and reduce the transmitted forces to achieve improved NVH characteristics and ride comfort. Powertrain mounts are mostly elastomeric type using elastic materials such as natural rubber. Usually in a passenger car, three powertrain mounts are incorporated to house the powertrain in the chassis and also cater for vibration isolation. This paper focuses on an elastomeric type single rear mount fixed below the powertrain. Finite element model of the mount was generated and analysis for natural frequency, dynamic stress and deformation calculation was carried out. Actual testing of the mount in installed condition was done by attaching accelerometers on engine and chassis side on the mount and using the acquired data i.e. FRF of the system, damping characteristics of the mount was generated according to the excitation frequency of the system. To generate correlation between the FEA model and actual component, experimental modal analysis for natural frequency using impact hammer was performed. Unbalanced excitation forces from the engine were calculated and the same were applied on the finite element model of the mount to calculate deformation and stress values. To improve the vibration isolation, the material characteristics of the natural rubber used were altered and updated in finite element model and corresponding stress and deformation values were obtained. To calculate the force transmitted to the chassis, transmissibility ratio was determined for existing as well as modified mount. It was noted that the force transmitted to chassis was reduced by 14.35% considering mean upon all operating range of engine.

Key Words : TRANSMISSION ERROR,GEAR RATTLE Abstract - The gear noise problem that widely occurs in power transmission systems is typically characterised by one or more high amplitude acoustic signals. The noise originates from the vibration of the gear pair system caused by transmission error excitation that arises from tooth profile errors, misalignment, and tooth deflections and due to torsional fluctuations from the engine.

Due to improving levels of vehicle refinement and the growing importance of vehicle sound quality, transmission rattle is an issue of increasing interest to vehicle manufacturers. Gear rattle is one of the NVH attributes that have become noticeable as performance of other NVH attributes is improved. The predominant root cause of gear rattle is torsional fluctuations. Gear rattle in manual transmission systems is a complex phenomenon and problematic to transmission and vehicle manufacturers. The solutions and design methodologies for low rattle or no rattle are difficult. Experiments for transmission rattle are required for research, to aid in the development of design tools and for validation of these tools. Using Hooke’s joint torsional vibration is induced in the simulator to create rattle.

The transmission error excites the geared shaft and bearing system leading to dynamic forces at the bearings, which in turn excite the transmission casing causing it to radiate noise. By studying the effects of macro geometry effects in transmission error we can predict the gear whine radiating from the transmission casing to a certain extent. The goal of this thesis was to design and develop a simulator that can measure gear rattle for transmission and to develop a test rig for parallel-axis gearing that can measure transmission error for both spur and helical gears.

M.Tech Project Details Title : DEVELOPMENT OF AN EFFECTIVE DRIVER SPECIFIC SEAT BELT REMINDER SYSTEM IN

CARS Project Guide : Mr. B. V. Shamsundara, Deputy General Manager, SHL, ARAI Key Words : Seat Belt Reminder System, Emergency Locking Retractor Abstract - The single most effective technology for reducing or preventing injuries from a motor vehicle crash is the safety belt restraint system. This system, however, is only effective if it is used. Seat belt reminder system detect occupants and their seat belt use in all seating positions, and then create a series of alarms to alert the car occupant if he or she is not belted. The risk of dying in a crash could be reduced by about 60% by using the seat belt. It has also to be noted that non-belted drivers also show other risky behaviour. As a result, they are involved in approximately 35% more crashes than belted drivers, independent of the severity of injuries suffered by the vehicle’s occupants. The existing seat belt reminder systems can be easily tampered / fooled by the driver. So an effective seat belt reminder system is required giving prime importance to safety and to ensure that people wear the seat belt correctly under all driving conditions. In the proposed method, an incremental rotary encoder is coupled to the seat belt retractor which gives out voltage pulses/counts according to the amount of seat belt being pulled. The seat belt being pulled depends upon the body dimensions of the people and also on the horizontal seat travel. The height of the people is the factor determining the horizontal seat position / travel, and the chest & waist circumference influences the seat belt pulling. A prototype is created from which readings of seat belt webbing being pulled are taken from the people (who falls in 5th, 50th & 95th percentiles) for three seating positions (Front most, Mid & Rear most). Set points are derived for each seat position upon satisfying a pre-defined criteria. The set points are fed into the micro-controller after which the proposed system is being subjected to testing to determine the functionality & working of the reminder system.

Title : Design and analysis of urea SCR system through modeling and simulation for heavy duty diesel engine

Project Guide : Ashish Dugar, Man trucks Ltd and Dr. K.C.Vora

Key Words :

Abstract - With current stringent legislation to reduce motor vehicle emissions, much research has been directed to improve the flow performance of auto catalysts. For this, considerable efforts have been directed towards the further development of SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technique for diesel driven vehicles. Moreover, a mobile SCR system has only a short distance between exhaust pipe and the catalyst entrance. Hence this leads to insufficient residence time of urea and therefore evaporation and thermolysi cannot be completed at the catalyst entrance. This may cause high secondary emissions of Ammonia and isocyanic acid. Hence key factor for implementation of SCR technology on automobile is rapid thermolysis, good mixing of ammonia with exhaust gas and reducing ammonia slip. In this context, this study performs the 3D numerical simulation of exhaust pipe of heavy duty diesel engine under various operating load conditions to find the optimized location of urea injector.

Maldistribution of flow in the catalytic converter affects catalyst warm-up, light-off, life time, pressure drop, conversion efficiency and overall utilisation. Uniform flow distribution inside the catalytic converter mainly depends on inlet cone design of SCR. In this study, exhaust gas flow inside the catalytic converter, which is intended to be used on Euro IV emissions legislations compliant for heavy duty diesel engines in India, is optimized by CFD method applying different inlet cone design to catalytic converter. The uniformity index of proposed inlet cone design at different cross sections are predicted and compared with that of base model. In addition velocity distribution and pressure drop in the SCR converter are analyzed with the consideration of flow resistances of catalyst substrates.
