DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMOBILE AXLE DRIVE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Several conceptual knowledge assimilation methods were suggested in literature, but nonetheless, few could be considered reliable in Automobile Engineering concepts especially of the transmission systems. Therefore, in this work, a new conceptual model is proposed for the system. It describes the development of the Axle Drive (AXD) of Automobile transmission system for scolars perceptions to enhancing indispensable assimilation of captivations. It was developed base on the items considered most significantly important amongst other items by systematic analysis through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) via Analysis of Moment of Structure (AMOS). The techniques used were the concept mapping assessment experimental structure and the researcher developed structural analysis. The most acceptable and preferred items used for the model development are: AXD1 (Functions of bearing types), ADX2 (CV joint assembly), AXD3 (Lubrication of bearings in the hub), AXD4 (Ball join functions), AXD5 (Inner and outer races diagnose) and AXD6 (Splines of axle shaft) of the transmission system. The model developed established that the schlars concerts as presented by the pictorial model showed expressive perfection on the Automobile Engineering (AE) intellects. The model could be modified using diverse engineering courses, likewise any other course in Nigerian Tertiary institutions.
