Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for assistance in designing a mounting for an open differential in a SAE-INDIA supra car project. The user seeks guidance on the forces acting on the differential and its mounting within a box-type frame. Forum members emphasize that they cannot complete the project for the user but can provide hints and feedback. The user is encouraged to share their existing work and inquire about resources, such as articles on differential mounting and access to CAD or FEA software for analysis. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the physics involved in the design process.

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.

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
