The diaphragm of a structure often does double duty as the floor system or roof system in a building, or the deck of a bridge, which simultaneously supports gravity loads. [1] Parts of a diaphragm include: [2] the collector (or membrane), used as a shear panel to carry in-plane shear
SEAT 1200 Sport, 'Bocanegra', the first car to be wholly developed in SEAT's Martorell Technical centre. SEAT 850 Spyder, a cabriolet in SEAT's range. SEAT 132, the last SEAT rear wheel drive mid-size car, powered with Fiat and Mercedes-Benz diesel engines. 1400 A / 1400 B / 1400 C (1953–1963) 600 N / 600 D / 600 E / 600 L (1957–1973)
Historically, though, there is a subtle difference between the two terms. If the longitudinal members in a fuselage are few in number (usually 4 to 8) and run all along the fuselage length, then they are called "longerons". The longeron system also requires that the fuselage frames be closely spaced (about every 4 to 6 in or 10 to 15 cm).
A subframe is a distinct structural frame component, to reinforce or complement a particular section of a vehicle's structure. Typically attached to a unibody or a monocoque, the rigid subframe can handle great forces from the engine and drive train. It can transfer them evenly to a wide area of relatively thin sheet metal of a unitized body shell.
The power seat adjustments in a Lincoln Town Car. The seat controls are located on the door panels, next to the memory seat controls. Above the seat settings are the memory control settings that also set the mirrors and foot pedals. Some car seat systems are set up with a battery-powered automatic control to adjust how the seat sits in the car.
The BMW i3 electric car is one of the rare modern passenger cars with a separate body and frame design (2013). Body-on-frame is a traditional motor vehicle construction method whereby a separate body or coach is mounted on a strong and relatively rigid vehicle frame or chassis that carries the powertrain (the engine and drivetrain ) and to ...
A crossmember, also known as a K-frame, is a structural component that is transverse to the main structure of a vehicle. [1] In the automotive industry, this term typically refers to a steel component, often boxed, that is bolted across the underside of a monocoque (unibody) motor vehicle to support the engine and the transmission.
RAMP Simulation Software for Modelling Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) is a computer software application developed by WS Atkins specifically for the assessment of the reliability, availability, maintainability and productivity characteristics of complex systems that would otherwise prove too difficult, cost too much or take too long to study analytically.
