This is an automotive engineering laboratory manual
This manual provides detailed instructions for laboratory experiments in automotive engineering. It covers constructional details, working principles, and operation of various automotive components including clutches, transmissions, tyres, steering systems, brakes, suspension, drive lines, emission control, fuel systems, and engine subsystems. The manual also includes instructions for 3D CAD modeling of automotive systems and crashworthiness analysis using simulation software. Experiments are structured with theory, diagrams, and viva questions for assessment.
To transmit power from the engine to the transmission system and to disengage it for gear changes.
The manual lists experiments on clutches, transmission systems, tyres & wheels, steering systems, brake systems, suspension systems, drive lines and differentials, emission control systems, fuel supply systems, engine systems, 3D CAD modeling, and crash worthiness analysis.
At least ten experiments are to be performed in the semester.
The experiment studies coil spring clutch, diaphragm spring clutch, and multi plate clutch.
