    M. Gordić i dr. Prepravak u električno vozilo: optimizacija parametara u procesu konstruiranja ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) https://doi.org/10.17559/TV-20160613131757 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONVERSION: OPTIMISATION OF PARAMETERS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS Mirko Gordić, Dragan Stamenković, Vladimir Popović, Slavko Muždeka, Aleksandar Mićović Preliminary communication One of the directions for making cleaner and more economic vehicles is to adopt electric vehicle concept. The paper shows current design concepts for electric vehicles worldwide, as well as current sources for supplying vehicles with electric energy. It describes a conversion of one vehicle so that it can be powered by electric motor. The results of tractive and dynamic characteristics calculation and vehicle stability simulation, before and after the conversion, are shown. Obtained results and influential factors are analysed so they can be optimised in order to influence the final characteristics of the converted vehicle. The conclusion is that the complete optimisation process should be performed before the beginning of vehicle conversion in order to avoid undesirable effects, i.e. undesirable characteristics of converted vehicle and high conversion costs. Keywords: conversion; electric vehicle; vehicle dynamics Prepravak u električno vozilo: optimizacija parametara u procesu konstruiranja Prethodno priopćenje Jedan od pravaca ka stvaranju čistijih i ekonomičnijih vozila jeste prihvatanje koncepta električnog vozila.

    OSPREY New Vanguard PUBLISHING US Submarines 1941–45 Jim Christley • Illustrated by Tony Bryan © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com New Vanguard • 118 US Submarines 1941–45 Jim Christley • Illustrated by Tony Bryan © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com US SUBMARINES 1941–45 INTRODUCTION he shooting portion of World War II burst on the American Navy early on a Sunday morning in December 1941, with the Japanese Tattack on Pearl Harbor. On that morning the face of naval warfare in the Pacific changed utterly. No longer would the war at sea be decided by squadrons of the world’s largest and most powerful battleships. Instead, the strategic emphasis shifted to a combination of two more lethal and far-ranging naval weapon systems. The aircraft carrier would replace the battleship by being able to increase the deadly range of a fleet from a few tens of miles – the range of battleship guns – to the hundreds of miles range of bomb- and torpedo-carrying aircraft. In addition, the American submarine would be able to place a strangler’s grip on the throat of the Japanese empire that, unlike the German U-boats’ attempts to control the Atlantic waters, could not be broken. Some have said that the result of the attack at Pearl Harbor was fortuitous in that it forced the US Navy to look toward the carrier and submarine to defend the southern Pacific and the United States’ western coast. This argument overlooks, however, the prewar build-up in those two weapons platforms, which seems to indicate that some individuals were looking seriously toward the future and the inevitable conflict.

  • USING EMRAX MOTORS for EV How to Calculate Power and Torque
    USING EMRAX MOTORS FOR EV How to calculate power and torque for EV? 1. First you have to calculate the torque that will be needed for the vehicle (torque on the wheels): Example: EV weight: G = 1700 kg Acceleration time from 0 km to 100 km/h (= 27,78 m/s ): t = 5 sec Acceleration: 푎 = 푣 ÷ 푡 = 27,778 푚/푠 ÷ 5 푠 = 5,55 푚/푠2 Force for acceleration: 퐹 = 1700 푘푔 ∗ 5,55 푚/푠2 = 9444,5 푁 Torque on the wheels (wheel diameter 0,64 m): 푀푡 = 9444,5 푁 ∗ 0,32 푚 = 3022,2 푁푚 3000 Nm is a torque on the wheels, which is needed to accelerate the vehicle (EV weight is 1700 kg) from 0 km/h to 100km/h. 2. Now you need to consider the transmission gear (TG) ratio and calculate the torque: Example: Differential ratio is approximately 3:1, TG ratio is approximately 4:1. Therefore total ratio in the first gear is: 푡표푡푎푙 푟푎푡표 = 3 ∗ 4 = 12 For example, one EMRAX 228 motor can deliver 240 Nm peak torque and 120 Nm continuous torque. Therefore peak torque on the wheels in first gear is: 푡표푡푎푙 푝푒푎푘 푡표푟푞푢푒 표푛 푡ℎ푒 푤ℎ푒푒푙푠 푛 푓푟푠푡 푔푒푎푟 = 12 ∗ 240 푁푚 = 2880 푁푚 In this case close to 3000 Nm of peak torque in first gear can be expected. In the second gear the torque is lower. Only higher gear can deliver higher and finally end speed of EV. End speed also depends on the maximal battery voltage (Vdc) and magnetic field weakening (MFW) – more information in Item 9.

  • Helicopter Transmission Arrangements with Split-Torque Gear Trains *
    Helicopter Transmission Arrangements with Split-Torque Gear Trains * G. White? A need for progressive improvement in the performance of helicopter propulsion systems leads the transmission designer to examine alternative methods for transferring power from the engines to the rotors. Predominant in this effort is the problem of designing main rotor gearboxes having higher power to weight ratios with increased life and reliability. Development and uprating of components used in production gearboxes has, in the past, enabled transmission designers to match improvements elsewhere in the propulsion system. This short-term form of development is attractive since the design loads and problem areas are known in advance and the improved design can be incorporated into an existing transmission with minimum changes. But the uprating of conventional components results in progressively smaller gains and, as is historically demonstrable, contributes little to the problem of weight reduction for there is a natural tendency to trade-off any potential weight benefit with component life and reliability. As an alternative to component development, this work argues the case for improved drive-train configurations. In particular, the use of torque-splitting gear trains is proposed as a practicable means of improving the effectiveness of helicopter main gearboxes; the work thus makes use of and extends concepts presented earlier in references 1 and 2. The potential for major weight reduction exists, but since significant changes to the propulsion configuration may be required, the development of such gear trains is necessarily longterm. Of equal importance, however, is that no advance in technology level is required, for split-torque gear trains merely involve novel arrangements of well developed components such as gears, shafts and bearings.

  • Final Design Report for Human Powered Vehicle Drivetrain Project
    Final Design Report for Human Powered Vehicle Drivetrain Project Sponsored by The Cal Poly Human Powered Vehicle Club in conjunction with George Leone May 31, 2019 Team members: Derek Fromm: [email protected] Luke Opitz: [email protected] Michael Juri: [email protected] Olivier Côté: [email protected] i Statement of Disclaimer Since this project is a result of a class assignment, it has been graded and accepted as fulfillment of the course requirements. Acceptance does not imply technical accuracy or reliability. Any use of information in this report is done at the risk of the user. These risks may include catastrophic failure of the device or infringement of patent or copyright laws. California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo and its staff cannot be held liable for any use or misuse of the project. ii Abstract The Cal Poly Human Powered Vehicle Club is building a bike to surpass 61.3 mph in 2019. The club and their mentor, George Leone, have proposed a senior project to design, build, and test the drivetrain for this year’s human powered vehicle. Research into human powered vehicles and their drivetrains has shown that the power that a rider can output and the efficiency at which the rider can pedal depend extensively on the design of the drivetrain. Despite the existence of standard bicycle drivetrain designs, the senior project team has found that the best design to meet the club’s requirements is a completely custom drivetrain based on the rider’s dimensions and preferences. The team defined a list of technical specifications that they used to validate the completed final prototype.

  • Planar Two-Stage Movable Tooth Reducer Closed by Input Shaft
    Bulletin of the JSME Vol.14, No.4, 2020 Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing Planar two-stage movable tooth reducer closed by input shaft Lizhong XU* and Ruixing LI* * Mechanical engineering institute, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China E-mail: [email protected] Received: 21 February 2020; Revised: 10 April 2020; Accepted: 27 May 2020 Abstract In this paper, a planar two-stage movable tooth reducer closed by input shaft is proposed. Through analyzing the motion transfer flow, the equation for calculating the speed ratio of the reducer is given. From the equation, the tooth numbers for realizing large speed ratio are determined. The power flow of the reducer is analyzed, and the equation of power flow calculation is given by which the conditions for generating closed power are determined. The output torque of the reducer and the force on the meshing pair are investigated, and the changes of the forces on the meshing pair with the parameters are analyzed. The three - dimensional design and motion simulation of the reducer are done which verifies the feasibility of the proposed reducer. Keywords : Two-stage, Movable tooth, Reducer, Closed by input shaft, Force 1. Introduction The joint drive device is a key component widely used in robots, which directly determines the performance of robots. In order to ensure that the robot has good dynamic characteristics and motion accuracy, the driving device is required to have the advantages of high motion accuracy, small sizes, large output torque and high efficiency (Yang, 2019). Harmonic gear reducer is an indispensable part for reliable and accurate operation of light industrial robots (Li, 2009; Vassileva, 2011; Kennedy, 2005).The elastic deformation of the harmonic gear reducer under load could affect the positioning accuracy and dynamic characteristics of the robot.
