1. Scope This SAE Recommended Practice establishes methods for describing and measuring the driver’s field of view. The document describes three methods for measuring the direct and indirect fields of view and the extent of obstructions within those fields. The first method uses any single pair of eye points to determine the fields or obstructions…
Determine the resultant internal loadings in the beam at cross sections through points D and E. Point E isjust to the right of the 3-kip load. Free Body Diagram: Support Reactions: Equations of Equilibrium @ D Equation of Equilibrium @ E Sample problems and notes are based on the following textbook: Mechanics of Materials 8th…
A force of 80 N is supported by the bracket as shown. Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on the section through point A.

A leaf spring is a basic type of spring often used for suspension in vehicles. Originally known as a laminated or carriage spring, and sometimes called a semi-elliptical spring, elliptical spring, or cart spring, leaf springs are one of the oldest forms of vehicle suspension. A Leaf spring consists of one or more narrow, curved,…
Consider the sketch of the movable crane. Make a free-body diagram of the mobile crane. The wheels are 4 ft apart and the center of gravity is halfway between the wheels. Assume the ballast is an external force acting one foot behind the left axle and that the weight hanging off the crane at point…
Determine the resultant internal normal force acting on the cross section through point A in each column. In (a), segment BC weighs 180 lb/ft and segment CD weighs 250 lb/ft. In (b), the column has a mass of 200 kg/m. Sample problems and notes are based on the following text book: Mechanics of Materials 8th…
Determine the resultant internal torque acting on the cross sections through points C and D. The support bearings at A and B allow free turning of the shaft.

Background/ Procedure: An instrument or gauge cluster is a device usually positioned in front of the driver which displays useful information for operating a vehicle. The information usually displayed in an instrument cluster is vehicle speed, remaining fuel/range in addition to any vehicle hazard/safety lights. The first vehicle to incorporate an instrument cluster into its…
ABSTRACT This paper is primarily a printed listing of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Light Vehicle Inertial Parameter Database. This database contains measured vehicle inertial parameters from SAE Paper 930897, “Measured Vehicle Inertial Parameters – NHTSA’s Data Through September 1992” (1), as well as parameters obtained by NHTSA since 1992. The proceeding paper…
What is meant by dual-phase steel? Developed in the 1970s, dual-phase steel (DP) is a high-strength steel that provides theadvantages of high-strength steel without losing good overall elongation. As a result of itsmicrostructure consisting of both ferritic–martensitic microstructure. DP steel has good fatigue resistance making it ideal for automotive-related sheet-forming operations. Mechanical properties of common…
