Body weight and engine VAZ-2101"},"content":{"rendered":"

How much the VAZ-2101 weighs is affected by the wear of metal parts, the presence of an additional body kit and HBO equipment. It should be noted that the vast majority of modern sedans are equipped with a body of a supporting structure. “Penny” in this case is no exception. This design<\/a> is a steel caisson, inside of which there are compartments for passengers, driver and luggage. In addition, working units and units of the car are placed on the body.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Design features<\/h2>\n

Regardless of the weight of the VAZ-2101, the body not only experiences static stress from the equipment installed on it, but must also withstand its impact under dynamic load. This property of the box is called torsional rigidity. On the machine in question, this figure is about 7300 Nm \/ deg.<\/p>\n

This technical parameter is significantly affected by the condition of the lower part, roof, thresholds. This is due to the fact that these elements are interconnected from the front panel. In addition, the strength characteristics and geometry of the body depend on the integrity of the door pillars, window panels and trunk cross members. You can check the correct symmetry and general condition of the car yourself. To do this, take the actual dimensions of the frame and compare them with the parameters indicated in the car repair manual.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Load distribution<\/h2>\n

From the foregoing, it follows that the fatigue of the VAZ-2101 body directly affects the condition of the attachment points of units and assemblies, and also manifests itself in the correct geometry of its front, rear and side openings.<\/p>\n

When driving (in dynamics), the distribution of loads on the chassis is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. From the side of the front suspension parts, vibrational and mechanical moments are transformed into a cross member with a subsequent transition to the under-engine part of the chassis.<\/li>\n
  2. In addition, the force is transmitted to the surface of the wings and the front deflector, called the load-bearing elements of the body.<\/li>\n
  3. Behind a similar image takes place in a more simplified form. The engine mounts are not involved here, the transition goes directly from the suspension to the car chassis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Production material<\/h2>\n

    With this body and suspension configuration, the frame material plays an important role in the vehicle's safety and stability. It is logical that strengthening the weak points of the body will make the car more rigid and stable on the road. But then the mass of the car will be critical, which will make it clumsy and very heavy.<\/p>\n

    Strengthening the frame increases the weight of the “penny” and the load on all structural elements. That is why designers are trying to select the rational thickness of materials, taking into account the ratio of their sizes and sections. The result is a fairly strong and not too heavy case.<\/p>\n

    To reduce weight and save money, non-load-bearing elements are made of thinner metal. The thickness of the main parts is about a millimeter, which corresponds to those of other cars of the same class.<\/p>\n

    \"How<\/a><\/p>\n

    How much does the VAZ-2101 weigh?<\/h2>\n

    The plumage of the “penny” is welded to the chassis of the car in front and behind, which allows it to be included in the reference scheme. It also helps to reduce the weight of the vehicle. Below is a layout of the main parts of the first Zhiguli model (in kilograms):<\/p>\n
