CONCLUSION FOR ONE SEMESTER
•
At
the end of this task, we finally understand what is chassis.
•
Its
include vehicle design, construction, and components that being plug in automobile.
Besides
that, we can get knowledge about the latest technology used in automobile
now day
ADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY INVENTED
•
Absorbs the reactions from the movements of
the
engine
and axle,
•
Receives the reaction forces of the wheels in
acceleration
and braking,
•
Absorbs aerodynamic wind forces and road
shocks
through
the suspension,
•
Absorbs the major energy of impact in the
event of
an
accident.
SYSTEM OPERATION
•
Chassis function as automotive fasteners
used for connecting automobile chassis.
•
These fixings hold together the varied parts
of the
vehicle chassis.
•
High strength stainless steel is the most
commonly
used material for manufacturing chassis fixings.
•
Besides being rust and corrosion resistance,
stainless steel chassis fixings also offer desired
durability.
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
- • Different chassis parts together comprise of automobile chassis.
- • The different types of automobile chassis partscomprise of control arm, pitman arm, ball joint,stabilizer link, tie rod end, rack end and many other auto parts.
- • On the basis of their functions, the automotive
- chassis parts are sub divided into: Chassis Brackets,Chassis Crossmember
CHASSIS ARE BEEN USE FOR FORD FOCUS
ΓΌ MONOCOQUE
•
Most modern cars use the Monocoque chassis.
•
A Monocoque chassis is a single piece of
framework that gives shape to a car.
•
One piece structure which defines the overall
shape of car.
•
Incorporated with body in single piece
•
Spot welded together by robot arms in a
stream production line.
TECHNOLOGY INVENTED
Automobile manufacturer Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863, on his
family's farm in Dearborn, Michigan. From the time he was a young boy, Ford
enjoyed tinkering with machines. Farm work and a job in a Detroit machine shop
afforded him ample opportunities to experiment. He later worked as a part-time
employee for the Westinghouse Engine Company. By 1896, Ford had constructed his
first horseless carriage which he sold in order to finance work on an improved
model.
Ford incorporated the Ford Motor
Company in 1903, proclaiming, "I will build a car for the great
multitude." In October 1908, he did so, offering the Model T for $950. In
the Model T's nineteen years of production, its price dipped as low as $280.
Nearly 15,500,000 were sold in the United States alone. The Model T heralds the
beginning of the Motor Age; the car evolved from luxury item for the well-to-do
to essential transportation for the ordinary man.
Ford
revolutionized manufacturing. By 1914, his Highland Park, Michigan plant, using
innovative production techniques, could turn out a complete chassis every 93
minutes. This was a stunning improvement over the earlier production time of
728 minutes. Using a constantly-movingassembly line, subdivision of labor, and
careful coordination of operations, Ford realized huge gains in productivity.
In 1914, Ford began paying his
employees five dollars a day, nearly doubling the wages offered by other
manufacturers. He cut the workday from nine to eight hours in order to convert
the factory to a three-shift workday. Ford's mass-production techniques would
eventually allow for the manufacture of a Model T every 24 seconds. His
innovations made him an international celebrity.
Ford's affordable Model T irrevocably
altered American society. As more Americans owned cars, urbanization patterns
changed. The United States saw the growth of suburbia, the creation of a
national highway system, and a population entranced with the possibility of
going anywhere anytime. Ford witnessed many of these changes during his
lifetime, all the while personally longing for the agrarian lifestyle of his
youth.
- Ford Motor Company, American automotive corporation founded in 1903 by Henry Ford and 11 associate investors.
- In 1919 the company was construct a body and frame, following the Industry trends and introducing some interesting solutions adopted on prototypes or production cars, even if with no market success, they all provided remarkable ideas and must be taken into consideration in the design of innovative structures.
- The company manufactures passenger cars, trucks, and tractors as well as automotive parts and accessories. Headquarters are in Dearborn, Michigan
WHAT IS CHASSIS?
•The chassis forms the main structure of the modern
automobile.
•A large number of designs in pressed-steel frame
form a skeleton on which the engine, wheels, axle
assemblies, transmission, steering mechanism,
brakes, and suspension members are mounted.
•During the manufacturing process the body is
flexibly bolted to the chassis.
