SAE’s definition indicates, if the roll centers of a up with the greatest challenge of modern era i.e. energy car are at the same height as the sprung mass’ Center of demand and ESVC is a racing championship of such Gravity (CG), it will not reveal any body roll during a corner innovative technology that bring thrills on speed but in an a line connecting the rear suspension roll Centre with that of ecofriendly way. As much it is important to bring speed to the front is called the roll axis. car so as equally important to design and fabricate vehicle design so that it can withstand high speeds to let it run and flow smoothly. That is the work of suspension system to keep the optimal tire contact with ground and keep passengers comfortable and one of the most important aspect of which is Roll Center. The vehicle roll center is a key parameter that influences the vehicle roll dynamics. The roll center is considered an important factor in determining overall vehicle ride and handling quality it is important to know how to find Fig. 1: Roll Center roll center for different type of suspension. So it becomes important for vehicle discuss roll center with respect to different suspension parameter and relation between roll center and center of gravity with changing vertical position of roll center for front and rear suspension system. I. INTRODUCTION Roll center of a vehicle is the imaginary but accurately defined point on the center-line of the car around which the Fig. 2: Roll Axis Location vehicle rolls, at which the cornering forces in the suspension system are transferred to the vehicle body.

To keep our solar car stable in order to negotiate any turn at high speed and keeping above factors in mind, we have performed following iteration on LOTUS SHARK SUSPENSION SOFTWARE and obtained satisfactory value of roll center distance under permissible limit as per our calculations.

Point Iwb is sometimes referred to And with inclined parallel links :> as 'virtual pivot', or as 'instantaneous center'. The instantaneous center dictates scrub radius, camber change and the way forces are transmitted. This pole can give us information about how the suspension moves. The distance from point Iwb to the centerline of the tire is sometimes referred to as 'swing axle length’, it's as if the hub/wheel is attached to an imaginary swing axle which hinges around point I. Having that long swing axle would be equivalent to having the double wishbone-type suspension, but the actual construction would be very impractical. Nevertheless it Swing axle roll center is located above the “virtual” serves as a good simplification. The swing axle length, joint of the axle. together with the angle, determine the amount of camber change the wheel will experience during the compression of the suspension. A long swing axle length will cause very little camber change as the suspension is compressed, and a very short one will cause a lot. If the upper link and the A- arm are perfectly parallel to each other the intersection point Iwb is infinitely far removed from the car. This isn't a problem though: just draw line as above .these two lines should always intersect on the side of the center of the car, if The roll center for a leaf spring suspension is found by they intersect on the outside, camber change will go from negative to positive back to negative, which is not a good drawing a line between the center of the forward thing for the consistency of the traction.

How much this roll upper line defining Iwb is perpendicular to the strut axis center moves as the suspension is compressed is determined by the suspension arm length and the angle between the top and bottom suspension arms (or turnbuckles). As the suspension is compressed, the roll center will become higher and the moment arm (distance between roll center and the car's center of gravity (CoG in the picture)) will decrease. This will mean that as the suspension is compressed (when taking a corner, for example), the car will have less tendency to keep rolling (which is good, you do not want to roll over). When using higher grip tires, the suspension arms should be set in such a way that the roll center is raised significantly as the suspension is compressed. Running parallel, equal-length suspension arms will result in a fixed roll center. This means that as the car leans over, the moment arm will be forcing the 40 Imperial International Journal of Eco-friendly Technologies Vol.- 1, Issue-1(2016), pp.38-43 IIJET car to roll more and more.

Active creatures, such as humans, robots, and animals, are often at the heart of such animation and are required to interact in compelling and lifelike ways with their virtual environment. Physical simulation handles such interaction correctly, with a principled approach that adapts easily to different circumstances, changing environments, and unexpected disturbances. However, developing robust control strategies that result in natural motion of active creatures within physical simulation has proved to be a difficult problem. To address this issue, a new and ver- satile algorithm for the low-level control of animated characters has been developed and tested. It simplifies the process of creating control strategies by automatically ac- counting for many parameters of the simulation, including the physical properties of the creature and the contact forces between the creature and the virtual environment.

  • 7.6 Moments and Center of Mass in This Section We Want to find a Point on Which a Thin Plate of Any Given Shape Balances Horizontally As in Figure 7.6.1
    Arkansas Tech University MATH 2924: Calculus II Dr. Marcel B. Finan 7.6 Moments and Center of Mass In this section we want to find a point on which a thin plate of any given shape balances horizontally as in Figure 7.6.1. Figure 7.6.1 The center of mass is the so-called \balancing point" of an object (or sys- tem.) For example, when two children are sitting on a seesaw, the point at which the seesaw balances, i.e. becomes horizontal is the center of mass of the seesaw. Discrete Point Masses: One Dimensional Case Consider again the example of two children of mass m1 and m2 sitting on each side of a seesaw. It can be shown experimentally that the center of mass is a point P on the seesaw such that m1d1 = m2d2 where d1 and d2 are the distances from m1 and m2 to P respectively. See Figure 7.6.2. In order to generalize this concept, we introduce an x−axis with points m1 and m2 located at points with coordinates x1 and x2 with x1 < x2: Figure 7.6.2 1 Since P is the balancing point, we must have m1(x − x1) = m2(x2 − x): Solving for x we find m x + m x x = 1 1 2 2 : m1 + m2 The product mixi is called the moment of mi about the origin. The above result can be extended to a system with many points as follows: The center of mass of a system of n point-masses m1; m2; ··· ; mn located at x1; x2; ··· ; xn along the x−axis is given by the formula n X mixi i=1 Mo x = n = X m mi i=1 n X where the sum Mo = mixi is called the moment of the system about i=1 Pn the origin and m = i=1 mn is the total mass.

  • Wheel Alignment Simplified
    The WHAT and WHY of Toe Caster - Camber Kingpin Inclination - Thrust Angle Steering Angle – Wheel setback WHEEL ALIGNMENT SIMPLIFIED Wheel alignment is often considered complicated and hard to understand In the days of the rigid chassis construction with solid axles, when tyres were poor and road speeds were low, wheel alignment was simply a matter of ensuring that the wheels rolled along the road in parallel paths. This was easily accomplished by means of using a toe gauge or simple tape measure. The steering wheel could then also simply be repositioned on the splines of the steering shaft. Camber and Caster was easily adjustable by means of shims. Today wheel alignment is of course more sophisticated as there are several angles to consider when doing wheel alignment on the modern vehicle with Independent suspension systems, good performing tyres and high road speeds. Below are the most common angles and their terminology and for the correction of wheel alignment and the diagnoses thereof, the understanding of the principals of these angles will become necessary. Doing the actual corrections of wheel alignment is a fairly simple task and in many instances it is easily accomplished by some mechanical adjustments. However Wheel Alignment diagnosis is not so straightforward and one will need to understand the interaction between the wheel alignment angles as well as the influence the various angles have on each other. In addition there are also external factors one will need to consider. Wheel Alignment Specifications are normally given in angular values of degrees and minutes A circle consists of 360 segments called DEGREES, symbolized by the indicator ° Each DEGREE again has 60 segments called MINUTES symbolized by the indicator ‘.

  • 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.

They are smaller and narrower than conventional vehicles, and thus more susceptible to rollover and stability issues. This thesis explores the unique dynamic behavior of narrow urban vehicles and different control actuation for vehicle stability to develop new reconfigurable and integrated control strategies for safe and reliable operations of urban vehicles. A novel reconfigurable vehicle model is introduced for the analysis and design of any urban vehicle configuration and also its stability control with any actuation arrangement.

  • A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment
    A Novel Universal Corner Module for Urban Electric Vehicles: Design, Prototype, and Experiment by Allison Waters A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 c Allison Waters 2017 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis presents the work of creating and validating a novel corner module for a three-wheeled urban electric vehicle in the tadpole configuration. As the urban population increases, there will be a growing need for compact, personal transportation. While urban electric vehicles are compact, they are inherently less stable when negotiating a turn, and they leave little space for passengers, cargo and crash structures. Corner modules provide an effective solution to increase the space in the cabin and increase the handling capabilities of the vehicle. Many corner module designs have been produced in the hopes of increasing the cabin space and improving the road holding capabilities of the wheel. However, none have been used to increase the turning stability of the vehicle via an active camber mechanism while remaining in an acceptable packaging space. Active camber mechanisms are also not a new concept, but they have not been implemented in a narrow packaging space with relatively large camber angle. Parallel mechanism research and vehicle dynamics theory were combined to generate and analyse this new corner module design.
