Corvette Z06 features an all-new LT4 engine.

The 2015 Corvette Z06 features an all-new LT4 engine. The supercharged, 6.2L V-8 will deliver more than 625 horsepower, and 635 lb-ft of torque.
The estimated 625-horsepower figure quoted for Chevy’s new 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 at the Detroit Auto Show unveiling of the upcoming 2015 Corvette Z06 is likely to spiral upwards when the final production model hits the dealerships early next year, according to the engine’s chief engineer.

Finite Element Analysis 1D and 2D Elements

One-Dimensional Elements If only an axial and/or torsion load is to be transmitted in an element, then the CROD is the easiest element to use. A CBAR is easier to use than a CBEAM element. The I1 and/or I2 values can be set to zero. Use the CBEAM element instead of the CBAR element if any of the following features is important: The cross-sectional properties are tapered. The neutral axis and shear center do not coincide. The effect of cross-sectional warping on torsional stiffness is critical. The difference in the mass center of gravity and the shear center is significant. The formulation for the CBEAM element is based on a flexibility approach; the element stiffness matrix is generated by inverting the flexibility matrix. For this reason, I1 and I2 must not be zero for the CBEAM element. CBEAM3 elements favor a structure with initial curvatures and with high order shell elements. Two-Dimensional Elements In general, quadrilateral elements (CQUAD4 ...

Engineering Facts

SOLID ROCKET BOOSTER ( SRB )   Solid rocket boosters (SRB) , are used to provide thrust in spacecraft launches from the launchpad up to burnout of the SRBs. The Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) operate in parallel with the main engines for the first two minutes of flight to provide the additional thrust needed for the Orbiter to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth. At an altitude of approximately 45 km (24 nautical miles), the boosters separate from the orbiter/external tank, descend on parachutes, and land in the oceans. They are recovered by ships, returned to land, and refurbished for reuse. The boosters also assist in guiding the entire vehicle during initial ascent. Thrust of both boosters is equal to 5,300,000 lbs. CLOSE DIE FORGING OPERATION: Closed Die Forging is a forging process in which dies move towards each other and covers the workpiece in whole or in part. The heated raw material, which is approximately the shape or size of the ...

Must Visit Places in Munnar

Image
Munnar! Munnar  is a town and  hill station  located in the  Idukki district  of the south-western Indian state of Kerala. Munnar is situated at around 1,600 metres (5,200 ft.) above sea level in the  Western Ghats  range of mountains. The name Munnar is believed to mean "three rivers" referring to its location at the confluence of the Mudhirapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundaly rivers. Munnar town is situated on the Kannan Devan Hills village in Devikulam taluk and is the largest panchayat in the Idukki district covering an area of nearly 557 square kilometres (215 sq. mi). The nearest major railway stations are at  Ernakulam  and  Aluva  (approximately 140 kilometres by road). The nearest airport is  Cochin International Airport , which is 105 kilometres away. Munnar is one of the most popular hill stations in South India. Mattupetty Dam: Mattupetty dam and its reservoir   is...
