Automotive Component Design Codes
Automotive Component Design Codes
(OP)
It was after some contemplation I place this question here in the 'other topics' forum. I am not sure if it better belongs in another place...
Speaking in generalities, I've been approached by an acquaintance to help with the concept & design of a mechanism intended to lock wheels on a trailer. An anti-theft device of sorts.
He knows I am an 'engineer' and has asked me to help him prototype out his concept. I have no issue with helping him to this end, however I have significant concerns about the method that he has elected for use. I am looking to articulate to him a codification or specification that is widely regarded in the automotive design world, specifically one that defines permissibility of an 'interference' type device that locks a wheel hub in place. I'm no automotive engineer, but on the conditions of fail-safety and hub movement upon the axle I think the whole idea is flawed.
Of course, in the interest of being critical and yet productive, I'd like to direct him to a specific resource that addresses this rather than 'my gut feeling'.
Thank you in advance.
