The paper is about designing and developing a roof for two wheeler passengers. The need for building such an idea was primarily to protect the passengers from external environmental, climatic factors by reducing the drag force. To confirm the identified problem a survey was conducted and related research papers gave us a positive feedback which motivated towards finding a well engineered solution to the problem.

During the course of research the aerodynamic nature of the roof, aesthetics and ergonomic considerations and suitable material for the structure was studied. The scooter was modeled in Catia. A 1:1 model was generated, which could be further used for analysis. Two models – scooter with and without the roof were generated. Analysis was done on Ansys so as to generate an aerodynamically safe roof for which the aerodynamic parameters would lie between the known two extreme conditions. After concluding on an optimal roof, fabrication of the roof commenced. The fabrication was as per the final shape and structure, finalized after analysis.

The real pleasure of driving for an off-road enthusiast can be described as the thrill of the terrain coupled with a capable machine to handle the terrain. However, this pleasure can be derived only when the comfort level of the driver is maintained. Thus, it is concluded that the suspension system (which is responsible for providing a comfortable ride quality to the driver) is one of the most important sub-systems to be designed.

This paper aims at selecting, modifying, analyzing and fabricating a suspension system capable of handling rough terrains while maintaining the ride quality.

This paper deals with the need to develop and maintain complex design procedures by integrating MathCAD© with ProEngineer©. The objectives of this study are to develop a structural model and develop design calculations. The structure of connecting rod is modelled in Pro-Engineer© software.

Design calculations are entered into MathCAD©. Integration of MathCAD© with Pro-Engineer© was carried out to reach desired objective. By integrating MathCAD© with Pro-Engineer© we can work simultaneously with 3-D Model as well as manufacturing drawing of the product. MathCAD© is a standardized & right tool for engineering calculations. MathCAD© uses ultimate results in faster time to market. Pro-Engineer© is a parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution. Ideal designing, suitable material properties and proper manufacturing processes are very important for developing successful component.

Active vibration control is defined as a technique in which the vibration of a structure is reduced by applying counter force to the structure that is appropriately out of phase but equal in force and amplitude to the original vibration. As a result two opposing forces cancel each other, and structure essentially stops vibrating.

Techniques like use of springs, pads, dampers, etc have been used previously in order to control vibrations. These techniques are known as ‘Passive Vibration Control Techniques’. They have limitations of versatility and can control the frequencies only within a particular range of bandwidth. Hence there is a requirement for ‘Active Vibration Control’.

‘Active Vibration Control’ makes use of ‘Smart Structures’. This system requires sensors, actuators, a source of power and a compensator that performs well when vibration occurs. Smart Structures are used in bridges, trusses, buildings, mechanical systems, space vehicles, telescopes, and so on. The analysis of a basic structure can help improve the performance of the structures under poor working conditions involving vibrations.
