Each term is concisely defined or described.
1 Pipe V/S Tube Pipe measured by inner diameter and thickness While tube is measured my outer diameter and thickness. 2 Camber A measurement of wheel angle relative to vertical as viewed from the front or rear of the car. 3 Caster A measurement of angle relative to the vertical as viewed from the side, between the axis defined by the upper and lower rod ends.
4 Factor of Safety Factors of safety (FoS), is also known as (and
used interchangeably with) safety factor (SF), is a term describing the load carrying capability of a system beyond the expected or actual loads. 5 ABS (Anti-lock braking system) Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to driver inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and avoiding uncontrolled skidding. 6 Toe in and toe out Toe In occurs when the front of the tires “pinch” into the centerline of the car. Toe Out occurs when the front of the tires points away from the centerline of the car. 7 Crankshaft A crankshaft—related to crank—is a mechanical part able to perform a conversion between reciprocating motion and rotational motion.
8 Stroke(engine) The volume swept by the piston cylinder while
travelling front Top dead center to Bottom dead center.
9 Differential A differential is a gear train with three shafts
that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the others, or a fixed multiple of that average. 10 Buckling Buckling is characterized by a sudden sideways deflection of a structural member. This may occur even though the stresses that develop in the structure are well below those needed to cause failure of the material of which the structure is composed.
