The Role of Surface Engineering in the Automotive Industry The subject of surface engineering in the automotive industry has developed significantly in the last decade. A large driving force for the need for surface treatments has been energy consumption. 30 per cent of all energy consumed in the European Union derives from transportation activities‚ relying solely on fossil fuels. Due to this‚ and the push to reduce the emissions of polluting gases‚ car manufacturers must produce increasingly

ABSTRACT A non-linear contact analysis of a leading-trailing shoe drum brake‚ using the finite element method‚ is presented. The FE model accurately captures both the static and pseudo-dynamic behaviour at the friction interface. Flexible–to-flexible contact surfaces with elastic friction capabilities are used to determine the pressure distribution. Static contact conditions are established by initially pressing the shoes against the drum. This first load step is followed by a gradual increase of

speed 5. A plane flying horizontally above Earth’s surface at 100. m/s drops a crate. The crate strikes the ground 30.0 s later. What is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the crate’s velocity just before it strikes the ground? [Neglect friction.] (1) 0 m/s (3) 294 m/s (2) 100. m/s (4) 394 m/s 6. A woman with horizontal velocity v1 jumps off a dock into a stationary boat. After landing in the boat‚ the woman and the boat move with velocity v2. Compared to velocity v1‚ velocity

APPLYING NEWTON’S LAWS 5.1. 5 IDENTIFY: a = 0 for each object. Apply ΣFy = ma y to each weight and to the pulley. SET UP: Take + y upward. The pulley has negligible mass. Let Tr be the tension in the rope and let Tc be the tension in the chain. EXECUTE: (a) The free-body diagram for each weight is the same and is given in Figure 5.1a. ΣFy = ma y gives Tr = w = 25.0 N. (b) The free-body diagram for the pulley is given in Figure 5.1b. Tc = 2Tr = 50.0 N. EVALUATE: The tension is the

POTENTIAL ENERGY AND ENERGY CONSERVATION 7 7.1. IDENTIFY: U grav = mgy so ΔU grav = mg ( y2 − y1 ) SET UP: + y is upward. EXECUTE: (a) ΔU = (75 kg)(9.80 m/s 2 )(2400 m − 1500 m) = +6.6 × 105 J (b) ΔU = (75 kg)(9.80 m/s2 )(1350 m − 2400 m) = −7.7 × 105 J EVALUATE: U grav increases when the altitude of the object increases. 7.2. IDENTIFY: The change in height of a jumper causes a change in their potential energy. SET UP: Use ΔU grav = mg ( yf − yi ). EXECUTE: ΔU grav = (72 kg)(9.80 m/s2
