PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND ENHANCEMENT OF PEUGEOT 307 TIMING BELT

Abstract

In this study of Performance analysis and enhancement of Peugeot 307 timing belt, the effect of the engine speed, run time on the timing belt geometry were investigated and also a model were built to test how an engine should stop working when the timing belt cuts using sensor. The analysis, forces acting on the belt were carried out numerically. The belt failure monitoring model was achieved by the use of ultra-sonic sensor. Also an experiment was design to study the effect of time and engine speed on timing belt. The results obtained shows that the 307 timing belt have a life of 50,000 km and also that the engine speed has a positive correlation while the groove thick has a negative correlation with the engine speed.
