Cyclic corrosion and media contamination effects during inertia dynamometer testing on torque output, coefficient of friction, surface condition, for passenger cars and light duty trucks up to 4540 kg of Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
The acquisition of digital evidence from automobiles has become commonplace, with the number of data sources within vehicles continually growing. To that end, the potential for evidence spoliation is real in that the acquisition of data from one source could interfere with the data stored in another source. The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide information to assist in eliminating or at least minimizing the potential for evidence spoliation and also providing guidance as to when decisions must be made to prioritize the order of data collection.
The SAE J3211 procedure applies to brake squeal evaluation using single-ended inertia dynamometers for friction couples used on vehicles with regenerative braking systems. This RP applies to squeal noise occurrences for on-road passenger cars and light trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 4536 kg or below. The procedure incorporates aspects related to (a) minimum inertia dynamometer capabilties, (b) fixture requirements and setup, and (c) test sequences with emphasis on brake temperatures, brake pressure profiles, and strategies to represent brake blending.
This SAE information report is intended to provide design guidance in the selection of stainless steel tubing produced from SAE 304/304L stainless material as defined by SAE J3127, J3128, J3129, and J3135.
Best Practices for defining the dimensional requirements of backing plates on the drawings themselves, and defining the measuring procedures used to validate those dimensions. The proposed standard employs already established methods such as geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), including instruction on its proper application to features specific to backing plates. Current ‘best practices’ of design and drafting in our industry are similarly highlighted; drawing clarity, revision control, and dimensioning for both function and manufacturability. Generic examples are used to illustrate both the advantages of best drafting practices, and the potential failure modes that can result from poor drafting practices. The standard also proposes the best methods of measurement required to properly validate requirements such as feature size and location, surface roughness, plate flatness and bow shape
The scope of this new recommended practice should include, but not necessarily be limited to: 1. Define vehicle operating conditions used to drive MOC-EPB actuator design and selection 2. Define brake corner operating conditions (e.g. temperature and state of burnish) used to drive MOC-EPB actuator design and selection 3. Define actuator operating conditions (e.g. temperature, voltage, current limit, and state of wear) used to drive MOC-EPB actuator design and selection 4. Define methodology for addressing part to part variation in performance
This document describes the assessment methods and physical requirements associated with the manual handling of carts and dollies, specific to material handling systems. All possible designs and applications could not be anticipated in creating these guidelines. Where there are questions of adherence to this document, such as use of an “off-the shelf” design, always consult the responsible Ergonomics Department. Force guidelines were primarily developed referencing the push/pull psychophysical Snook data contained in A Guide to Manual Materials Handling (second edition) by Mital, Nicholson and Ayoub (NY: Taylor & Francis, 1997). The force guidelines accommodate 75% of female capabilities and 99% of male capabilities. Factors that were included in the established guideline include: push / pull distances, vertical hand height, horizontal hand height, frequency and wheel / castor alignment and load rating. These factors were used to develop a conservative force guideline.
A bolt-load retention (BLR) test is a practical test to determine the bolt load of a fastener joint with time and at given temperatures. There are three types of BLR tests described in this standard, namely general-purpose test, design-purpose test, and screening material test. A general-purpose BLR test may be used for screening materials, while a design-purpose BLR test is usually used to verify the BLR behavior of a specific joint. The screening material test is an example of the general-purpose test for typical automotive applications.

This SAE Standard specifies: a test method for assessing the lubricating property of diesel fuels including those which may contain a lubricity enhancing additive, and the performance criteria necessary to ensure reliable operation of diesel fuel injection equipment with respect to fuel lubrication of such equipment. It applies to fuel used in diesel engines.
