Assignment 1 Applications of mathematical and statistical methods to vehicle related tasks.

Task 1

(Pass P3)

A vehicle is accelerated at approximately constant rate from an initial speed of (10m/s) and the following data were gathered :
Time, t (s) Speed, v m/s) 2 16 4 23 6 28 8 33 10 40

1. The relationship between speed and time is expected to be linear. Show that it is so by plotting the speed against time. 2. Write the general equation of the straight line in terms of the gradient and intercept with the vertical axes.. 3. Calculate the gradient from the data given. What does it represent? 4. Calculate the intercept of the line with the vertical axis from the data given. What does it represent? 5. Write the equation of the straight line for this particular case in terms of the gradient and the intercept of the line with the vertical axis.

Task 2

(Pass P4)

Factorize by extraction and grouping of a common factor from the following expressions (right-hand sides of the equations below): 1. The total energy of a vehicle with speed v, and height above ground level, h, and , mass, m (neglecting friction and air drag) is given by:
ET = 1 mv 2 + mgh 2

2. The total energy of a vehicle with speed v, and height above ground level, h, and , mass, m (with friction coefficient,

and neglecting air darg) is given by:

ETF =

1 mv 2 + mgh mgh. cot 2

3. The total energy of two train carriages connected together moving with speed v, and at height above ground level, h, and , masses, m1 , m 2 .can.be. mod elled .by :
ET = 1 1 m1v 2 + m1 gh + m 2 v 2 + m2 gh 2 2

t=time of travel after attaining speed v and let go without further input power.

Task 3
A.

(Pass P5)

An engine has:

Bore= 80mm Stroke = 90mm Number of Cylinders = 1

It is required to calculate the Piston Displacement for this engine.

B.

Consider a classical steering trapezoid. If B=680 mm , l m , calculate Ackerman angle , also find calculator, then
rr = 105mm

= 626mm

sin , and , cos using

the

deduce the value of tan using the values obtained for

sin , and , cos .

Task4

(Merit M1
(u ) ,

The linear stopping distance, ( s ) , in meters, covered by a vehicle with an initial speed meters per seconds, is given by:
1 aF t 2 2

in

s = ut +

(1)

Where: t= time (in seconds) taken to cover the stopping distance.

a F = deceleration( Frictional )
a F = g

v 2 = u 2 + 2a F s

v =0
0 = u 2 2 gs

s =

u2 2 g

Equation (1) reduces to:

u2 1 = ut ( g )t 2 2 g 2
let.... = gt

1 u 2 = 2( gt )u 2 g ( g )t 2 2

u 2 = 2( gt )u ( gt ) 2

u 2 = 2u 2

The final equation which indirectly gives the time taken to cover the linear stopping distance (s), in meters, covered by the vehicle with an initial speed (u ) , in meters per seconds, is given by the following quadratic equation:

2 2u + u 2 = 0

...................(2)

Required to solve equation (2) to find the time (t) by: 1. Factorization 2. The formula. Use only one value of (u) from the list below: A. u = 50m / s B. u = 80m / s

C. u = 90m / s D. u = 100m / s

Piston Displacement cylinders

= 3.14 radius = bore/2

= x (radius)2 x stroke x number of

stroke = the distance from TDC to BDC number of cylinders = the number of cylinders in the engine

Here is an Example: This engine has: Bore= 80mm Stroke = 90mm Number of Cylinders = 1 Radius = Bore/2 = 80 2 = 40mm

Piston Displacement = x (radius)2 x stroke x number of cylinders = = = 3.14 x (40)2 x 90 x 3.14 x 1 x 1

1600mm x 90

452 160 mm3

You will notice that you answer is in mm3 . Engines are usually give a size of displacement in cm3 or commonly referred to as CC's. To convert your answer to CC's, divide your answer by 1000. In this example, you would have 452 160mm3 1000 giving you an answer of 452.16 cm3 or 452.16 cc. This engine has a displacement of 452.16 cm3 or 452.16 cc.

Often larger engines have their displacements measured in litres. To get this measurement, divide you answer that is in cm3 or cc's by 1000. In this example, you would have 452.16cm3 1000 giving you an answer of 0.452 Litre or 0.452 L. This engine has a displacement of 0.452 Litres or 0.452 L.

Here is One More Example: This engine has: Bore= 87.5 mm Stroke = 91.4 mm Number of Cylinders = 2 Radius = Bore/2 = 87.5 2 = 43.75 mm

Piston Displacement = x (radius)2 x stroke x number of cylinders = = = = = 3.14 x (43.75)2 x 91.4 x 3.14 x 1914mm x 91.4 or 2 x 2

1 098 656.5 mm3 1099 cm3 or

1.100 litres (L)

This engine is a 1.100 litre two cylinder engine.
