Applications of pulleys and inclined plane in transport engineering

Abstract

This scientific paper presents original research and the authors personal views on the technical-economic and practical acceptance of pulley and inclined plane applications in transport engineering. Engineering specialists appreciate that the active type experiment carried out by practical determinations leads to concrete, important results in the field addressed. In order to demonstrate theoretically and practically what the specialists say, we have made a small-scale laboratory model in which we have experimented with situations similar to those encountered in real life. In this way, we have presented the front end of pulley systems used for lifting or towing damaged or damaged vehicles (motor vehicles) on trailer trailers, which are common in transport engineering. In this way, those interested can learn how these applications can be used in the laboratory but also in real life, the advantages and concrete results obtained when applied. Other experiments and applications of the laboratory mock-up are specified in the paper, in which the results, their usefulness, real-life applicability, how certain measuring instruments are used, the units of measurement and their conversions, as well as how to calculate the voltages occurring in lifting/pulling cables with pulleys are presented. The scale model can be successfully used in the laboratories of art and craft schools, high schools or colleges. In this way pupils or students can acquire practical knowledge in car knowledge or road vehicle dynamics laboratories. At the end of the work, conclusions in the field covered and further research directions are presented.
