To determine

Functions and design requirements for hood latch for an automobile.

Explanation of Solution

Functions for hood latch for an automobile are:

  • Hood latch is the type of mechanical component that keeps the hood closed shut.
  • The latch keeps the hood connected to the automobile.
  • It prevents the accidental opening.

Design requirements for hood latch for an automobile are:

  • Spring must have enough stiffness to hold the hood.
  • Hood latch must be able to work minimum 8 hr per day.
  • Applied force to the hood latch should not be too large.
  • Mechanical efficiency must be greater than 95%.
  • Cost must be moderate.
  • Less wear producing material is selected.
  • All government and industry safety standards must be met.
