65 Automobile Designer Questions And Answers

22⟩ Please explain the advantages of Cycloidal and Involute gears?

The advantages of the Cycloidal gears are as follows:

☛ > Having a wider flank as compared to Involute gears they are considered to have more strength and hence can withstand further load and stress.

☛ > The contact in case of cycloidal gears is between the concave surface and the convex flank. This results in less wear and tear.

☛ > No interference occurs in these types of gears.

☛ The advantages of Involute gears are as follows:

☛ > The primary advantage of involute gears is that it allows the changing of the centre distance of a pair without changing the velocity ratio.

☛ > The pressure angle remains constant from start to end teeth, this results in less wear and smooth running of the gears.

☛ > The involute gears are easier to manufacture as they can be generated in a single curve ( the face and flank ).

24⟩ Tell me what is a Helix?

It is a curve which is generated by a point moving at uniform rate around and advancing parallel to, or at varying distances from an axis.

25⟩ Tell us in an orderly manner how the force in the member of a truss be detected using the method of joint?

The steps required to calculate the force are as follows:

☛ > The reaction at the support has to be first calculated.

☛ > Once the reaction is calculated the direction of force of the member is made to make it tensile. On getting the result to be negative the direction assumed is wrong and this implies the force being compressive in nature.

☛ > A joint needs to be selected whose 2 members are not known. The lami`s theorem is used on the joint on which less than three forces are acting.

☛ > After the above process is complete the free body diagrams of the joint needs to be made. Since the system is in equilibrium the condition of Summation of V and H must result in zero.

☛ > After the above step the resolution of forces method needs to be used on the joint on which more than 4 forces are acting.

33⟩ Tell me what are Bevel Gears and what are its types?

Bevel gears are the type of gears in which the two shafts happen to intersect. The gear faces which are tooth bearing are conical in shape. They are generally mounted on shafts which are 90 degrees apart but they can be made to work at other angles as well. The bevel gears are classified into the following types on the basis of pitch surfaces and shaft angles:

☛ > Mitre Gears: These types of gears are similar to each other ie. they have the same pitch angles and contain the same number of teeth. The shaft axes intersect at 90 degrees angle.

☛ > Angular bevel gears: When two bevel gears connect at any angle apart from 90 degrees.

☛ > Crown bevel gears: When the two shaft axes intersect at an angle greater than 90 and one of the bevel gears have a pitch angle of 90 degrees they are known as crown bevel gears.

☛ > Internal bevel gears: In these type of gears the teeth on the gears is cut on the inside area of the pitch cone.

39⟩ Tell me what are the method of development?

☛ 1. Parallel Line Development: It is used for patterns of prisms and cylinders.

☛ 2. Radial Line Development: This is used for surfaces of regular tapering forms such as pyramids and corns.

☛ 3. Triangulation Development: It is used when the connecting surface is neither prismatic nor pyramidal such as developing warped and double curved surfaces.
