LEARNING ACTIVITY NO. 4 NAME: MUNDINA, ERICA MAY A, = SECTION OMB DATE: OCTOBER I, 2020 ANSWER THE FOLLOWING GUESTIONS IN NOT MORE THAN G@ SENTENCES. 4.) WHAT IS THE DIFFERENGE BETWEEN THE TERM “ FRAME” AND *CHASSIS“7 ARE THEY THE SAME ? EXPLAIN. ANSWER = THE*FRAME’ IS THE MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE CHASSIS WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPONENTS FITTED TO IT. M IS DESIGNED AS THE VEHICLES BODY AS EVERY- THING ELSE IT FITTED ON IT, ALSO, THE CHASSIS 1S ATTACHED TO IT, THE“CHASSIS”IS THE SKELETAL FRAMEWORK OF A VEHICLE FITTED WITH THE MOST MECHANICAL PARTS. IT IS DESIGNED AS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR ANY VEHICLE 10 MOVE. OTHER COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE TIRES , AXLE ACCEMBLIES » STEERING , BRAKES . AND THE ENGINE ARE FASTENED 10 IT. 2.) WHICH METAL IS USED IN VEHICLE CHASSIS ? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER, ANSWER : THE METALS USED IN VEHICLE CHASSIS ARE AS FOLLOWS: STEEL / CARBON STEEL - THE BEST REASON FOR USING STEEL IS IS NATURAL CA~ PABILITY TO ABSORB THE IMPACT ENERGY PRODUCED IN A CRASH. ALUMINUM - ITS LOW WEIGHT AND HIGH SPECIFIC ENERGY ABSORPTION AND PRE- CISE STRENGHT ARE IS MOST SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTICS. MAGNESIUM — IT IS ANOTHER LIGHT-WEIGHT METAL. IT iS HAS LOWER TENSILE STRENGHT , FATIGUE STRENGTH COMPORED TO ALUMINUM. 3.) WHAT ARE THE FORCES ACTING ON A CHASSIS FRAME 7 ANSWER: THE FORCES ACTING ON A CHASSIS FRAME ARE THE (a) REACTIONS FROM GROUND ACTING ON TIRES AND TRANGMITTING THROUGH SUSPENSIONS (b) WEIGHT OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS LIKE ENGINE » TRANSMISSION , PASSENGERS . FUEL TANK , ETC ACTING AT MOUNTING POINTS (c) CENTRIFUGAL FORDE ACTING DURING TURNING (d) AERODYNAMIC FORCES AT CONSIDERABLE SPEED (e) BENDING MOMENT AND TORSION MOMENT ALONG THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS ; AND LASTLY, (4) IMPACT LOAD WHEN. THE VEHICLE PASSES OVER A HUMP OR A POT HOLE. MUNDINA, ERICA MAY A4.) ENUMERATE AT LEAST 10 VEHICLES MODELS AND IDENTIFY THEIR CORRESPONDING CHASSIS TYPES.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS THAT A VERICLE CHASSIS NEEOS REPAIR ? DISCUSS EACH. ANSWER: THE COMMON SIGNS ARE AS FOUOWS. @) INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION — THIS IS BECAUSE THE CHASSIG MIGHT HAVE GOT DAMAGED AND THERE COULD GE SOME OTHER REASONS AS WELL FOR THE FUEL EFFICIENCY OF THE VEHICLE. b) UNFAMILIAR NOISE = OCCURS WHEN THERE IS CLUNKING OF THE CHASSIS THAT CAN PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON IT AND CAUSE DAMAGE. cc.) POOR HANDLING - WHEN A CAR HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF POOR HANDLING » IT DOES NOT RESPOND VERY WELL TO A STEERING MANOEVRE AND NEEDS REPAIRING. 4.) IMPROPER STEERING ~ IF YOU NOTICE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR STEERING, IT ULD INDICATE THAT SOMETHING \f NOT QUITE RIGHT WITH THE PARTS IN/AROUND THE CHASS. ¢) RAPID. WEARING OF TYRES — If THERE (¢ PROBLEM WITH THE CARS CHAS, IT COULD LEAD TO ALIGNMENT OF THE TYREG AND IN TURN , THE TYRES GETTING WORN QUT MUCH FASTER THAN EXPECTED. wunonaeeica MAY A
