The automobile sector requires continuous progress in development of ‘Starter Motor’ by innovative approaches although significant progresses are made in the past. Development of Starter Motor has made it possible to start the engine by electrical means instead of doing it manually. The outstanding features of this motor are they can produce the maximum starting torque to crank the engine. In this case, we use electrical energy and convert it to mechanical energy in order to start the engine in motor vehicles. As the starter motor is mounted near the engine; vibrational disturbances produced due to either uneven road conditions or engine vibrations or both hampering the performance of starter motor which may result in breaking of component of motors. Vehicle will experience vibrations whose values are un-predictable at certain point of time causing random excitation and random vibrations. Aim of paper is to perform analytical formulation for Power Spectral Density function of Starter Motor by treating it as a cantilever beam and to find its response to random vibrations by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Over the years, there is significant development in the field of composites has made it possible to have alternate material for glass fibre. Since, Glass fibre have some shortcomings such as relative high density and difficulty to machine, researchers and scientists have worked to develop a Bio-composite material which is to be formed by matrix of resin and reinforcement of Natural fibre or Bio-fibre (Material derived from plant). Advantages of using such material in automotive industry are their easy availability, cheap cost, being lightweight and durability. Apart from this, these are biodegradable and recyclable, which makes the easy for disposal as compared to other petroleum based products. Now a days, Automakers are also using Bio-composites for floor mats of car, compression moulded spare tire covers. Aim of present paper is to study the different process techniques used for processing the Bio-fibre and compare different Bio-fibre with respect to their properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
