Book Description
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 3.0, Savitribai Phule Pune University, formerly University of Pune (Pune Vidyarthi Griha's College of Engineering and Technology), course: Mechanical Engineering, language: English, abstract: The position of center of gravity of a vehicle plays a very important role in the dynamics of the vehicle. It needs to be balanced in the lateral direction. Its position in the longitudinal direction and its height has an important role in the design of the braking system. It also has an effect on the suspension geometry of a vehicle. Now, for finding out the Center of gravity of any vehicle, it needs to be lifted at some required height from one end. A vehicle has tremendous weight and therefore, a huge lifting force is required. To be able to carry out such a task, hydraulic systems are generally used. Out of the various hydraulic systems, hydraulic scissor lift is the best suitable option for carrying out this function. Nowadays, scissor lifts are being used for various applications such as aerial work platforms, lift tables, etc. Our project is an innovative application of scissor lifts to find out the Center of gravity of a vehicle.
