SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the design of differential mounting for an open differential (chain driven) in the SAE-INDIA supra-car project. Key considerations include understanding the forces acting on the differential and its mounting within a box-type frame. Participants emphasize the importance of using CAD drawing programs and FEA software, such as ANSYS, for effective design and analysis. The forum encourages users to conduct their own research and create initial designs rather than seeking direct assistance with project completion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential mechanics and forces
  • Familiarity with CAD drawing software
  • Knowledge of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) principles
  • Experience with ANSYS software for structural analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research differential mounting design principles
  • Learn how to use CAD software for automotive applications
  • Study Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques
  • Explore tutorials on ANSYS for analyzing mechanical structures
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, automotive designers, and mechanical engineers involved in vehicle dynamics and structural analysis will benefit from this discussion.

I want to mount open differential (chain driven) on SAE-INDIA supra -car so I need to consider different forces on differential and it's mounting for designing a proper mounting. So i need physics forum's help to design differential mounting. Mounting place is a box type frame. For illustrative purpose i have joined two images.

Since this project is for schoolwork, please show us your work on it so far. We do not do the work for students here. We can offer hints, ask questions, catch mistakes, etc. But it is against the PF rules for us to do your project for you.

So have you done any drawings yet? Do you have access to a CAD drawing program? How about access to FEA software? :smile:

Yes I understand the rules of Pf, so can you please redirect me to any article on differential mounting to understand that what are forces acting on a differential mounting so that I will make my own design and analyse it on ansys software.

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
