The drill handle is the part that is used to hold the drilling machine. It is made up of plastic and is produced by injection molding. There is a skin surface with the name A class and a B class is created that is equal to the thickness of the part. The part is joined with a wall which is the class C surface. The part…

Bumper-   Design technique followed for creation of the bumper *) Design was started by initially checking the quality of class A surface. The same surface was used to create the boundary by selecting boundary definition. *) The boundary was continous and had no weird lines or curved in odd locations so the class…

Switch bezel is a car part which contains switches and buttons to control different functions like window control,door lock,media etc. It is located at the inner portion of the door. The procedure used to create the part was same as the base bracket one. Class A surface was used to create the tooling axis. Class B surface…

Creation of a part from the given Class A surface is done by creating 2 surfaces that are B surface and C surface. Class A is the surface that is created by the concept sketches made by free hand sketchers. The finalised sketch is then fed to the computer and a 2D surface is created out of it by the use of a software like…

Assembly workbench in Catia V-5 is one in which a previously created 3D models are brought together and joined using different constraints as per the master section. This is the last process that is carried out on a model before sending it further on the product development stage. It is done by selecting new file and then…

Back door/tail gate/trunk door is referred to the closure component of a vehicle which opens and closes on the rear side of it.  It is connected to the side body by hinges depending on the type of its design. The function or need of a back door is that it saves the occupants and luggage from getting affected by the harsh…

The function or need of a back door is that it saves the occupants and luggage from getting affected by the…

*) When people take a wake around of a car, some would say that the facelift is amazing, some would say the rear end looks stylish and the remaining would talk about the sides and interior. Here the only view that is not observed is the top where the roof is located. It happens that no one talks about the roof because…

Fender is a fibre/plastic component which shields the wheels and restricts mud,water,stones etc that gets carried along the rotating grooved tyre. The grooves are deliberately cut on the tyres so as to provide a smooth path for the road substances to get channelled out resulting in better traction. The substances tend…

1) Every part that is designed and developed has to qualify not only in terms of aerodynamics but strength too. For aerodynamics, the design can be customized and reshaped for better air flow over the surface of the that panel. In the same way, the design also plays a key role in giving strength to the material. Of…

*)WHY A HOOD? Hood is one of the most important component of a vehicle when it comes to safety and design. It is considered as the 6th door including the passenger 4 doors, back lid, fuel tank door. In design it makes the car look stylish. In aerodynamic terms, hood is the component which directs the air flowing over it…

                                       In cars, eveyone has heard body paint in which the car is painted with a primer that matches the color which would be painted on the body of the car. Primer actually becomes the base…

1) After going through the report, it is clear that Mr.D.S.Pughazhyendhii is a family man with 5 members(including him). So basically,there are 4 adults and 1 child. He lives in Bangalore but visits his native place Madhurai which is 500kms once a month. He is fond of SUVs and is planning to buy a car with a budget of…

A lithium ion battery uses chemical reactions to produce electricity. The battery is made of many lithium-ion cells. Each cell has two electrodes anode and cathode. Anode is the negative electrode which is a copper foil coated with graphite. Cathode on the other side is the positive electrode which is a metal sheet coated…

Battery pack designing A123 high performance Nanophosphate lithium ion phosphate(LiFeP04) battery technology delivers high power and energy  density combined with excellent safety performance and extensive life cycle,light weight and more compact package. The cells have low capacity loss and impedance growth over…

Hybrid electric vehicle A hybrid electric vehicle is a type of automobile which works on more than one fuel to propel. By propulsion I mean, the movement of the car by the wheels either in forward of reverse direction depending on the requirement. A conventional car moves on only one fuel mainly fossil fuels like coal,diesel,petrol…

A battery management system is a electronic system which looks after the whole battery in terms of temperature, voltage, circuit etc to avoid the system from getting damaged or under-performance. It keeps the battery inside the safe operating zone. It monitors it's state,calculates secondary data,reports,controls the environment,authenticates…

Lithium is the 3rd element in the periodic table. It is a light metal with very less ionise energy and highly reactive. This makes it a very good element for anode. A small lithium ion battery can have more voltage than a big conventional nickel cobalt battery due to the high reactive characteristic. Lithium ion batteries…
