Vehicle kinematics and dynamics (vkd) short answer for gtu
1. VEHICLE KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS
Short answers:-
1. What is dynamics?
Ans.
Dynamics is the branch of classical mechanics
concerned with the study of force and their effects
on motion.
Or
It deals with the force and their effects while acting
upon a body in motion.
2. Write down the classification of link.
Ans.
I. Rigid link
II. Flexible link
III. Fluid link
IV. Simple and compound link.
3. Write down the various type of cam.
Ans.
Type of cam
I. Wedge cam
II. Flat cam
III. Radial cam
IV. Cylindrical or Drum cam.
2. 4. State different types of suspension spring.
Ans.
Type of suspension spring
I. Coil spring
II. Leaf spring
III. Air spring
IV. Torsion bar
5. What is traction and tractive effort?
Ans.
Tractive effort
The existing force between drive wheels tyres
and road surface that force is known as tractive
effort.
Traction
The ability of the drive wheels to transmit this
effort or tractive effort without slipping.
3. 6. Define the degree of freedom.
Ans.
The degree of freedom of a mechanical system is
the number of independent parameters that defines
its configuration.
7. Define gradeability.
Ans.
Gradeability is the trucks or any other vehicles
ability to climb slope.
Example: A truck with a gradeability of 5% at 60
mph can maintain 60 mph on a grade with a rise of
5%.
Gradeability is used for off-road vehicles.
8. State the function of suspension system.
Ans.
Function of suspension system
I. Ride control
II. Height control
III. Roll control
IV. Drive and squat control
V. Road holding.
4. 9. Define the term kinematics.
Ans.
Kinematics
It deals with the bodies in motion without any
reference to the force which are responsible for
the motion.
10. Draw neat sketch of slider crank mechanism.
Ans.
This type of chain inversion is used in reciprocating
steam engine and internal combustion engine.
As the figure show this type of mechanism converts
the reciprocating motion into rotary motion of
crank. Link 1 is fixed which is compatible with the
frame of engine, link 2 is crank, link 3 is connecting
rod and link 4 is a piston.
5. 11. Difference between Rigid link and flexible link.
Ans.
Rigid link Flexible link
1) In this type of link
there is no
deformation while
transmitting the
motion.
1)In this type of link
there is partial
deformation while
transmitting the motion.
2) Example : motion
between piston &
crank.
2)Example: belt drive
12. What is inversion of mechanism.
Ans.
Inversion of mechanism: It is a mechanism in which
one of the links of a kinematic chain is fixed.
Different mechanisms can be obtained by fixing the
different links of the same kinematic chain. The
inversion of a mechanism does not change the
motion of its links relative to each other.
6. 13. Define the terms
Ans.
I. Free vibration:
Free vibrations are oscillation where the total
energy stays the same over time. This means
that the amplitude of the vibration stays the
same.
II. Forced vibration:
Forced vibration occurs when the object is
forced to vibrate at a particular frequency by a
periodic input of force.
14. Draw the neat sketch of any two types of follower.
Ans.
7. 15. Define
Frequency:
The number of speed cycle in the unit is called
frequency. In MKS system it is written as cycle
per second & in SI system. Hz is the unit.
Amplitude:
The maximum displacement from its normal
position during a cycle in the vibrating system is
called amplitude.
Cycle:
The cycle that is completed in one time period
is called cycle.
16. Draw Four bar mechanism.
