This thesis focuses on producing 3D printed suspension scale models with correct kinematics to help students better understand how different types of suspensions behave. The suspension types chosen for the models are MacPherson and double wishbone for the front suspensions and trailing arm multi link suspension and a live axle for the rear. These models were designed in Catia V5 and then 3D printed in a scale of 1:5 and assembled together with some off-the-shelf components such as coilover dampers and ball joints. The models for the MacPherson and the trailing arm are based on Chalmers suspension setups while the live axle is based on modified values of the trailing arm. The double wishbone however is primarily based on given requirements and guidelines from the Chalmers suspension setup. The two front suspensions feature functioning steering and the MacPherson one also has a differential to illustrate the function of having a propulsion system. These suspensions are mounted on two vehicle chassis where the front suspensions can be swapped so all the combinations can be shown. The curves for camber gain and bump steer are plotted for the MacPherson and double wishbone suspensions. The 3D printed models have similar kinematics to the original models. Because of the limited accuracy of 3D printing there is some play in the suspension components reducing the similarity between the curves and the real behavior when manipulating the suspensions by hand.

  • 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.

  • Design of Constant Velocity Coupling
    Design of Constant Velocity Coupling Prof. A. A. Moghe1, Mr. Yuvraj Patil2, Mr. Mayur Pawar³, Mr. Akshaykumar Thaware4, Mr. Nitin Thorawade5 1Assistant Professor, 2,3,4,5UG Students Department of Mechanical Engineering Sppu, PVPIT, Pune, Mahrashtra, India ABSTRACT: A coupling is mechanical device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmission of power. The basic role of couplings is to join two parts of rotating elements while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. Presently Oldham’s coupling and Universal joints are used for parallel offset power transmission and angular offset transmission. These joints have limitations on maximum offset distance, angle, speed and result in vibrations, noise and low efficiency (below 70%). These limitations can be overcome with Thompson constant velocity (CV) coupling which offers features like minimizing side loads, higher misalignment capabilities, more operating speeds, improved efficiency of transmission and many more. The constant velocity joint is an alteration in design that offers up to 18 mm parallel offset and 21-degree angular offset, at high speeds up to 2000 or 2500 rpm at 90% efficiency. This design lowers cost of production, space requirement and simply technology of manufacture as compared too present CVJ in market. This paper presents review on constant velocity joints/couplings design and optimization. Keywords: Thompson constant velocity joint, Optimization & design, Constant velocity couplings, Parallel Offset, Angular Offset, Power Transmission. [I] INTRODUCTION The basic function of a power transmission coupling is to transmit torque from an input/driving shaft to an output/driven shaft at a specified shaft speed.

  • Tire Couplings
    Tire Couplings www.koreacoupling.co.kr Coupling Selection Coupling Selection How to Select Standard Selection The Standard Selection may be used for engine driven, motor, or turbine applications. The following information is required: • Application or equipment type (motor to pump, reducer to conveyor, etc.) • Shaft diameters (mm) • Gaps between shafts (mm) • Speed (RPM) • Horsepower or torque (Nm) 1. Rating : Determine system torque. Torque is calculated as follows : kW × 9,550 kW × 974 Ⅰ. Torque (Nm) = Ⅱ. Torque (Kg.m) RPM RPM 2. Service Factor : Determine appropriate service factor from page. 5-6 3. Minimum Coupling Rating : Determine the required minimum coupling rating as follows : Minimum Coupling Rating = Service Factor x Torque (Nm) 4. Type : Select the appropriate coupling type 5. Size : Trace the Toque column to find the value that is equal or greater than value from Step 3. 6. Check : Check speed (RPM), bore, gap and dimensions. Formula Selection The Standard Selection should be used for most coupling selections. The Formula Selection procedure below should be used for: • High Peak Loads. • Brake Applications (Brake disc or brake wheel is an integral part of coupling) Using the Formula Selection and providing system peak torque and frequency, duty cycle, and brake torque rating will allow for a more refined selection. 1. High Peak Loads : Use formula A or B for applications which involve motors with higher than normal torque characteristics. Applications should also be those with intermittent operations, including shock loading, inertia effects due to starting and stopping, system-induced repetitive high peak torques. System Peak Torque is the maximum torque that can exist in the system.
