  • Construction of a Computational Model of a Go-Kart for Dynamic Analysis
    Construction of a Computational Model of a Go-Kart for Dynamic Analysis Multibody model construction and theoretical analysis Jonathan Mikler A. Advisor: Andres Leonardo Gonzales Mancera Ph.D A thesis presented to apply for the degree of B.Sc Mechanical Engineer Department of Mechanical Engineering Los Andes University Bogot´a,Colombia December 2018 Abstract A multibody model was developed in the Msc-Adams/Car software to recreate an electric Go- Kar. The prototype vehicle was built on top of a ICE chassis, where an PMAC motor and the subsequent powertrain were installed. The model was created by examining the real prototype and modelling its components to a basic but satisfying level of details, taking into account each individual weight and position. The simulations carried out were a step steer were for most cases was ran at 30 km/h (48 mph) offered results on the dynamic response of the vehicle to this simple maneuver and simple analysis of the consistency and congruence with theory was possible. Weight distribution for both axles, as well as slip angle development were observed in the simulations, and since the vehicle was cataloged as understeer, this results were consistent with the theory. lastly, the characteristic speed was validated through multiple simulation ran at different speeds, where the maximum yaw rate was observed at a speed close to the theoretical characteristic speed. 2 Dedication This work is completely dedicated to my family, who in different ways contributed, promoted and celebrated my passing through engineering school. To my parents who's trust never quivered, to my siblings, who's support for me was felt at every step and to my grandparents, who's love and pride played a much more subtle but equally powerful role in my life.

  • Tire - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire Tire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A tire (or tyre ) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel's rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first versions of tires were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Today, the majority of tires are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a doughnut-shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tires are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, earthmovers, and aircraft. Metal tires are still used on locomotives and railcars, and solid rubber (or Stacked and standing car tires other polymer) tires are still used in various non-automotive applications, such as some casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.
