The Technical paper presents the Packaging of 3 Wheeler CNG Load Carrier. The existing vehicle is modified by packaging with 400cc petrol engine, CNG Cylinder and CNG kit. The AIS024 and AIS028 standards were considered while packaging the components and add-on brackets. It gives the design consideration taken while designing the structural brackets. It gives the check list that was used for observation of the proto development and also checking that it meets all the requirements of standards, design and validation.

Forming of aluminum sheets in O-temper is a very common industrial process in the aircraft industry. However, the success of this process largely hinges on the ability to predict springback accurately. Aluminum sheets in T-temper exhibit approximately twenty percent variability in material properties and also the amount of springback is very large. This makes tool design for aluminum in T-temper an iterative and difficult to control process. Traditionally aluminum has been formed in the O-temper and then heat-treated to T-temper, as recourse to reduce springback. This research is aimed at developing a predictive finite element technique for springback, using experimental validation. A parametric study was conducted to determine the influence of geometric parameters and tempers on springback. The study characterizes springback of aluminum in different tempers and investigates the effect of forming strain-rates on springback.
