                   INTRODUCTION
• The term automobile or automotive stands for a vehicle, which can be
  move by itself.
• The automobile is a self-propelled vehicle.
• It is used for the transportation of passengers and goods from one place
  to other on the ground.
• Examples: scooters, mopeds, cars, lorry, bus, etc.,

                 History of automobile
• The invention of the automobile is not the product of a single man, single
   generation in any company.
• The real history of automobiles was started during 15th century (i.e. during
   Leonardo Da Vinci’s period.)
• Captain Nicholas Cugnot, a French engineer is considered to be the ‘‘father
   of Automobile”.
                                                     Dr. T. MOTHILAL & Mr. G. RAGOTHAMAN
              History of automobile in India
•   In 1898, an American company imported three “Oldsmobiles” cars into
    Bombay.
•   One of which was sold to Janshedji Tata, an industrialist.
•   It was the first motor car in India.
•   In 1903, an American company began to operate a public taxi service with a
    feet of 50 cars.

FRAME :
    A rigid Structure of Chassis and skeleton of the vehicle. Until 1930s
virtually every car had a structural frame, separate from its body.
Function of a Frame:
• Base mounting engine & transmission.
• To carry load - passengers or goods.
• Withstand thrust, stresses & torques.
• Accommodate suspension system.
• Resist the centrifugal force.
• Withstand bending & twisting stresses.
Requirement of a Good Frame:
• Strong, Light & to withstand.
• Resist distorting forces.
• Resist horizontal forces.

Conventional Frame Construction:
• Most of the heavy vehicles.
• Made up of steel section.
• 2 long side members & 5 to 6 cross members joined rivets or bolts.
• Cross members increased strength.
• Front – inswept (narrow): Steering lock, pivoting & swinging of the front
  wheels.
• Rear – upswept (Board): vertical movement of the rear axles, road bumps
  & inequalities.

•   Body brackets: support body of the vehicle
•   Spring brackets: mounting body of the vehicle.
•   Extension of chassis: front overhung & rear overhung.
•   Different sections are used for
         Long section – channel & box section
         Cross section - I, hat & tubular section

Semi integral Frame Construction:
•   Load on the vehicle is transmitted to the body structure also.
•   Rubber mounting replaced by relatively stiff mountings.
•   Heavy when compared to conventional type.
•   Used in American & European cars.
                                                        Dr. T. MOTHILAL & Mr. G. RAGOTHAMAN
Integrated frame chassis or frameless chassis:
• Now-a-days used in most of the motor cars called as a frameless or
   chassis-less or mono or unit construction
• Floor assembly & frame form one integral unit.
• Heavy side members are eliminated
Floor is strengthened by cross members & body, all welded together.

• Sub-frames used on various chassis components are mounted.
• Sub-frames supported by main frame.
• The main purpose of sub-frame are to provide isolation , flexibility &
  simplified production.
• All components welded or bolted together as one assembly.
• More strength & rigidity.

    Resistance to Vehicle Motion (or) Aero
                  Dynamics
1.Drag Force (Fx):
Force of air acting in the direction of vehicle motion in longitudinal direction.
It is also called air resistance.
This offers resistance to vehicle motion & calculated by:
Fx = CxρV2(A/2) where
Cx – Drag Coefficient
ρ – Density of Air
V- Velocity of Air & A – Projected Area of vehicle viewed from front.
The profile of the body should be designed in such a way to reduce the drag
force.

 2. Lift Force (Fz):
 It is the vertical force caused by
 Pressure distribution on the body.
 Fz = CzρV2(A/2)
 Cz is the drag coefficient.
 Latest Design Vehicles to reduce drag &
 lift.
3.Crosswind Force (Fy):
It is the force acting in the lateral
direction on the side of the vehicle.

        VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT)
Variable Valve Timing systems alter the valve timing to suit engine speed and
load conditions
Types :
1. Cam changing VVT :
* It uses cam profiles to lift valves based on load and speed.
•It uses two rocker arms for normal working and third rocker arm placed
between two arms.
•At high speeds, ECU activates oil pressure controlled pin to lock these
rocker arms simultaneously. Centre rocker arm follows random profile to
transfer inlet valve open for more time.
2. Cam Phasing VVT:
•It is obtained by just shifting the phase angle of camshafts. At high speed,
 inlet camshaft rotates 30 deg advance to enable previous intake.
• It can be achieved by Engine Management system based on need and type of
  actuation.
