What is Engine Capacity (cc)
The term “cc” stands for Cubic Centimeters or simply cm³ which is a metric unit to measure the Engine's Capacity or its volume. It is the unit of measuring the volume of…
What is the Mean Effective Pressure (MEP) of an engine ?
The Mean Effective Pressure (MEP) is a theoretical parameter used to measure the performance of an internal combustion engine (ICE). Even if it contains the word “pressure” it’s not an actual pressure measurements…
Curve Interpolation Methods and Options
The RMC supports several interpolation methods and options to satisfy a wide range of curve applications. Interpolation Methods The interpolation method is specified in the Properties pane in the Curve…
Vehicle acceleration and maximum speed modeling and simulation
In engineering, simulations play a critical part in the design phase of any system. Through simulation we can understand how a system works, how it behaves under predefined conditions and how the…
Force Required to Accelerate a Load
The load on a hydraulic cylinder (or motor) consists of these three components:(1). Normal load resistance, where fluid power is converted into mechanical work exerted against the load.(2). Friction resistance,…
Vehicle Power Requirements
How much power does it take to go 60 mph? 80 mph? The weight of the car and its speed all are factors that affect the amount of power required.…
Resistance to motion
This is the resistance a vehicle faces while attempting to move from a stall condition or while accelerating. This resistance must be overcome by the powerplant of the engine in…
What is the maximum acceleration
I think that the maximum acceleration will be obtained at the instant immediately before the tyre starts to move:
Speed limits
Speed limits in India vary by state and vehicle type. In April 2018, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways fixed the maximum speed limit on expressways at 120 km/h, for national highways…
Gross vehicle weight rating
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or gross vehicle mass (GVM) is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers. The…
