  • Steering System
    1 Steering System STEERING SYSTEM The function of steering is to steer the front wheel in response to driver command inputs in order to provide overall directional control of the vehicle. The factors kept in mind while designing the steering system were Simplicity Safety Requiring minimum steer effort Economical Steering geometry Ackerman The Ackerman Steering Principle defines the geometry that is applied to all vehicles (two or four wheel drive) to enable the correct turning angle of the steering wheels to be generated when negotiating a corner or a curve. When a car is travelling around a corner (the red lines represent the path that the wheels follow) the inside wheels of the car follow a smaller diameter circle than the outside wheels. If both the wheels were turned by the same amount, the inside wheel would scrub (effectively sliding sideways) and lessen the effectiveness of the steering. This tire scrubbing, which also creates unwanted heat and wear in the tire, can be eliminated by turning the inside wheel at a greater angle than the outside one. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering 2 Steering System The difference in the angles of the inside and outside wheels may be better understood by studying the diagram, where we have marked the inside and outside radius that each of the tires passes through. The Inside Radius (Ri) and the Outside Radius (Ro) are dependent on a number of factors including the car width and the tightness of the corner the car is intended to pass through. Aligning both wheels in the proper direction of travel creates consistent steering without undue wear and heat being generated in either of the tires.

  • Integration of Numerical Analysis, Virtual Simulation and Finite Element Analysis for Optimum Design of Worm Gearing
    Integration of numerical analysis, virtual simulation and finite element analysis for optimum design of worm gearing Daizhong Su a and Datong Qin b a Corresponding author, School of Engineering, The Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, NG1 4BU, UK; http://domme.ntu.ac.uk/mechdes b State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Transmission, Chongqing University, Chongqing, P R China Abstract Due to the complicated tooth geometry of worm gears, their design to achieve high capacity and favourable performance is a tedious task, and the optimum design is hardly to obtain. In order to overcome this problem, the authors developed an integrated approach which consists of three modules: numerical analysis, three-dimensional simulation and finite element analysis. It provides a powerful tool for optimum design of worm gears and is a general approach applicable for various types of worm gears. As case studies, two designs using the approach have been conducted, one for cylindrical involute worm gearing and the other for double enveloping worm gearing. Keywords: worm gears, numerical analysis, virtual manufacturing, finite element analysis, CAD/CAM/CAE models: (i) using the numerical data of the tooth surfaces 1. Introduction obtained from numerical analysis module, or (ii) both the worm and wheel are virtually produced in Pro/Engineer by simulating Worm gears are essential mechanical components, with wide the manufacturing process. Then the worm and the wheel are applications ranging from toys to heavy industrial machinery. assembled together to form the worm-wheel assembly model. They have several advantages over other types of drives, such as Using the assembly model, the tooth contact pattern can be high speed ratio, smooth transmission, low level of noise and simulated.

  • Design Sizing of Cylindrical Worm Gearsets
    Design Sizing of Cylindrical Worm Gearsets A method for the design sizing task of cylindrical worm gearsets is presented that gives an estimate of the initial value of the normal module. Expressions are derived for the worm pitch diameter of integral and shell worms as well as for Edward E. Osakue the active facewidth of the gear and the threaded length of the worm. An Department of Industrial Technology attempt is made to predict the contact strength of bronze materials against Texas Southern University Houston, Texas, scoring resistance. USA Four Examples of design sizing tasks of cylindrical worm gears are carried out using the approach presented and the results are compared with previous Lucky Anetor solutions from other methods. The results for first three examples show Mechanical Engineering Department Nigerian Defence Academy excellent comparisons with previous solutions of American Gear Manufacturers Kaduna, Association (AGMA) method. The results of the fourth example are slightly Nigeria more conservative than those of DIN3999 but are practically similar. Therefore, it appears that a systematic, reliable and more scientifically based method for cylindrical worm drive design sizing has been developed. Keywords: Contact, Strength, Stress, Sliding, Scoring, Sizing, Verification, Worm 1. INTRODUCTION profiles may be trapezoidal, involute or some other profile [6]. The common worm thread profiles are A worm gear drive consists of a worm and gear and is designated as ZA, ZN, ZK, and ZI [7]. A special worm also called a wormset.

Another on the principle of friction gear. This drives enable us to have a important feature of this drive is its compactness, low weight multi speed output at right angles by using a single output at and obviously its low cost. right angles by using a single control lever. The design of the drive is based on the principle of friction, hence slip is inevitable, but in many cases the exact speed ratio is not of prime importance it is the multiple speed that are available from the II. BACKGROUND & HISTORY drive that are to be considered. In this typical drive the power is transmitted from the input to the output at right angle at multiple speed and torque by virtue of two friction rollers and A. Friction Drive an intermediate sphere. The drive uses a singular control to effect the speed change, thereby making the operation of the drive extremely simple. Another important feature of this drive A Lambert automobile from 1906 with the friction drive is its compactness, low weight and obviously its low cost revealed.
