As the design progressed the youngest and most inexperienced member of the group was disturbed by something that the others failed to see until one day he said, “Isn’t the strength of any system only as good as the weakest link?”. After much profanity and embarrassing public outbursts Bert proclaimed, “He’s right!”. So began the development of the tapered roller main drive gear bearing for the GrudgeBox. Word of this leaked out of the R&D department and soon the calls started coming in. Some inquiries were hostile in nature. The decision was made to offer the crown jewel of the GrudgeBox to those with a stock 2007-later transmission. Tapered roller bearings can be found in lathes, 18-wheeler trailer axles, and the left side flywheels on Milwaukee engines from the last century.

  • Development and Analysis of a Multi-Link Suspension for Racing Applications
    Development and analysis of a multi-link suspension for racing applications W. Lamers DCT 2008.077 Master’s thesis Coach: dr. ir. I.J.M. Besselink (Tu/e) Supervisor: Prof. dr. H. Nijmeijer (Tu/e) Committee members: dr. ir. R.M. van Druten (Tu/e) ir. H. Vun (PDE Automotive) Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Department Mechanical Engineering Dynamics and Control Group Eindhoven, May, 2008 Abstract University teams from around the world compete in the Formula SAE competition with prototype formula vehicles. The vehicles have to be developed, build and tested by the teams. The University Racing Eindhoven team from the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands competes with the URE04 vehicle in the 2007-2008 season. A new multi-link suspension has to be developed to improve handling, driver feedback and performance. Tyres play a crucial role in vehicle dynamics and therefore are tyre models fitted onto tyre measure- ment data such that they can be used to chose the tyre with the best characteristics, and to develop the suspension kinematics of the vehicle. These tyre models are also used for an analytic vehicle model to analyse the influence of vehicle pa- rameters such as its mass and centre of gravity height to develop a design strategy. Lowering the centre of gravity height is necessary to improve performance during cornering and braking. The development of the suspension kinematics is done by using numerical optimization techniques. The suspension kinematic objectives have to be approached as close as possible by relocating the sus- pension coordinates. The most important improvements of the suspension kinematics are firstly the harmonization of camber dependant kinematics which result in the optimal camber angles of the tyres during driving.

  • Investigation on Planetary Bearing Weak Fault Diagnosis Based on a Fault Model and Improved Wavelet Ridge
    energies Article Investigation on Planetary Bearing Weak Fault Diagnosis Based on a Fault Model and Improved Wavelet Ridge Hongkun Li *, Rui Yang ID , Chaoge Wang and Changbo He School of Mechanical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China; [email protected] (R.Y.); [email protected] (C.W.); [email protected] (C.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0411-8470-6561 Received: 12 April 2018; Accepted: 9 May 2018; Published: 17 May 2018 Abstract: Rolling element bearings are of great importance in planetary gearboxes. Monitoring their operation state is the key to keep the whole machine running normally. It is not enough to just apply traditional fault diagnosis methods to detect the running condition of rotating machinery when weak faults occur. It is because of the complexity of the planetary gearbox structure. In addition, its running state is unstable due to the effects of the wind speed and external disturbances. In this paper, a signal model is established to simulate the vibration data collected by sensors in the event of a failure occurred in the planetary bearings, which is very useful for fault mechanism research. Furthermore, an improved wavelet scalogram method is proposed to identify weak impact features of planetary bearings. The proposed method is based on time-frequency distribution reassignment and synchronous averaging. The synchronous averaging is performed for reassignment of the wavelet scale spectrum to improve its time-frequency resolution. After that, wavelet ridge extraction is carried out to reveal the relationship between this time-frequency distribution and characteristic information, which is helpful to extract characteristic frequencies after the improved wavelet scalogram highlights the impact features of rolling element bearing weak fault detection.

Not just for the smooth quiet power, wide torque range, cheap running costs and minimal maintenance, but to design and build cars to take advantage of the simplicity and flexible packaging offered by electric technology. Some new knowledge and skills of battery and electric drive systems are required, but once you have an understanding of this, putting it all together is much simpler and quicker than using a petrol or diesel drivetrain. Why? The motors and controllers come ready to bolt on and plug together and all the sensors required are usually built into the motor. Cooling systems, fuel storage and pump, gearbox, differential, exhaust system and complex wiring harness are not required. There are a few more components required to deal with high voltage electrical power, but other than this, it is really not much more complex than building a radio controlled electric car.

  • Design and Fabrication of a Multi-Material Compliant Flapping
    This document contains the draft version of the following paper: W. Bejgerowski, J.W. Gerdes, S.K. Gupta, and H.A. Bruck. Design and fabrication of miniature compliant hinges for multi-material compliant mechanisms. International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 57(5):437-452, 2011. Readers are encouraged to get the official version from the journal’s web site or by contacting Dr. S.K. Gupta ([email protected]). Design and Fabrication of Miniature Compliant Hinges for Multi-Material Compliant Mechanisms Wojciech Bejgerowski, John W. Gerdes, Satyandra K. Gupta1, Hugh A. Bruck Abstract Multi-material molding (MMM) enables the creation of multi-material mechanisms that combine compliant hinges, serving as revolute joints, and rigid links in a single part. There are three important challenges in creating these structures: (1) bonding between the materials used, (2) the ability of the hinge to transfer the required loads in the mechanism while allowing for the prescribed degree(s) of freedom, and (3) incorporating the process-specific requirements in the design stage. This paper presents the approach for design and fabrication of miniature compliant hinges in multi-material compliant mechanisms. The methodology described in this paper allows for concurrent design of the part and the manufacturing process. For the first challenge, mechanical interlocking strategies are presented. For the second challenge, development of a simulation-based optimization model of the hinge is presented, involving functional and manufacturing constrains. For the third challenge, the development of hinge positioning features and gate positioning constraints is presented. The developed MMM process is described, along with the main constraints and performance measures.
