I agree with murpia on the use of dampers that extend in bump only makes sense with torsion bars.
You can use just about any damper (some dampers do have orientation limitations) in a setup where...
This stuff shouldn't be too hard to find. With hydraulics like this, you just need to worry about the mechanical advantage using MC bores of different sizes compared to the piston size of the clutch...
Hey Composites Guy (or perhaps ad),
any tips on setting up the principal axis for complex shapes in ANSYS? I've been trying to find this (help files, manuals, tutorials, etc.) but have failed to...
Project M1-11... 2hr 21min.
It wouldn't have cooling passages and a hole for the valvetrain chain, if it is only used for keeping the cylinder walls round. The reduced compression sounds possible, but since they do not run a...
I would also like to see this paper. I saw this concept presented in a side bar in one of the recent issues of racetech or racecar engineering (don't remember off hand) talking about Michelin tires....
I managed to get one of these courses set up as a technical elective in the mechanical and aerospace program. There were a couple really big problems that hindered it from being successful.
...
Ha. Take a look at some of the stuff running in cost controlled series using motorcycle engines and you'd be surprised at the type of engines ran and the modifications performed. Everyone I've...
Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!!
... sorry, couldn't resist.
I didn't know about that little trick TU Graz employed. That's pretty cool. And I...
I think you're asking the wrong questions here. The hard part about carbon half-shafts, torque-tubes, and drive-shafts is the sheer transfer of torsional loading from the carbon tube to the metal...
This depends on the type of failure of the gear teeth which is dependent on the material used and the surface finish. If you are failing due to bending stress, you might find that the thinner teeth...
I believe UCSD reversed the head on their YZF-600R motor (cam drive is centrally located) so that they did just this.
I'm not sure if Moser can do 28 spline... I think they just go down to 30. I just ordered a 31 spline short axle for winters quick-change rear end at my job and it was heavy as all hell (over 12 lb...
Damn, that sucks. I'm in the western part of the US and I already received the October issue at the beginning of this past weekend. If you get the magazine regularly, try writing the publisher to...
There are a couple problem areas you will need to address. The main roll hoop tube can't be welded and has minimum bend radii. The upper side impact bar has maximum and minimum height restrictions....
