The main objective of the Suspension of a vehicle is to maximize the contact between the vehicle tires and the road surface, provide steering stability and provide safe vehicle control in all conditions, evenly support the weight of the vehicle, transfer the loads to springs, and guaranteeing the comfort of the driver by absorbing and dampening shock. This paper discusses the kinematic design of a double a-arm Suspension system for an FSAE Vehicle. The hardpoint’s location can be determined using this procedure to simulate motion in any kinematic simulation software. Here, Optimum Kinematics is used as kinematic simulation software, and the results are verified using Msc Adams simulation. The method illustrated deals with the basics of Kinematics which helps to predict the characteristics of the Suspension even before simulating it in the kinematic simulation software.

AbstractThe calibration of areal surface topography measuring instruments is of high relevance to estimate the measurement uncertainty and to guarantee the traceability of the measurement results. Calibration structures for optical measuring instruments must be sufficiently small to determine the limits of the instruments.Besides other methods, micro-milling is a suitable process for manufacturing areal material measures. For the manufacturing by micro-milling with ball end mills, the tool radius (effective cutter radius) is the corresponding limiting factor: if the tool radius is too large to penetrate the concave profile details without removing the surrounding material, deviations from the target geometry will occur. These deviations can be detected and excluded before experimental manufacturing with the aid of a kinematic simulation.In this study, a kinematic simulation model for the prediction of the dimensional accuracy of micro-milled areal material measures is developed and validated. Subsequently, a radius study is conducted to determine how the tool radius r of the tool influences the dimensional accuracy of an areal crossed sinusoidal (ACS) geometry according to ISO 25178-70 [1] with a defined amplitude d and period length p. The resulting theoretical surface texture parameters are evaluated and compared to the target values. It was shown that the surface texture parameters deviate from the nominal values depending on the effective cutter radius used. Based on the results of the study, it can be determined with which effective tool radius the measurands Sa and Sq of the material measures are best met. The ideal effective radius for the application considered is between 50 and 75 μm.

In this study, the lengths of the main links of the transplanting device of a semi-automatic vegetable transplanter were optimized to reduce the weight at the same planting trajectory. The theoretical planting trajectory was obtained from the kinematic analysis for the link structure of the transplanting device and verified through kinematic simulation using commercial software and actual measurement using high-speed camera. Then, the lengths of the main links that have a great influence on the planting trajectory were optimized to have a minimum total length at the same planting trajectory. A genetic algorithm was used as an optimization tool. As a result, with the optimal lengths of the main links, the same planting trajectory was maintained while reducing the total length by 18.32% compared to the conventional one. The transplanting device with the optimal main link lengths would have benefits in terms of agricultural economy by reducing manufacturing and fuel costs.

Quick Return Mechanisms (QRMs) are one of the essential accessories used in machine tools which involve reciprocating cutting action with a quick return stroke and a constant angular velocity of driving crank. The aim of this work was to simulate, design and construct a prototype of a QRM that can be used for demonstration and instrumentation. The QRM was simulated using Solidworks and a prototype was developed from the simulated results. The experiment was conducted using the prototype. The kinematic simulation of the Solidworks model was compared with the kinematics of motion of the prototype. The result showed that the Percentage Stroke Length error was 0.36%. It was observed that, there was no significant difference in the simulated and experimental results, hence, the prototype can be used for demonstration and experimentation to assist students in understanding basic principles of the machine operation.

The simulation and application of industrial robots has developed very quickly in recent decades. Along with the development of computer science, a lot of softwares to perform dynamic simulation have been created. The results of simulation can be used for layout evaluation, kinematic, dynamic study, off-line programming to avoid obstacle and for design mechanical structure of robots. A co-simulation of 2R industrial robots have been performed by Recurdyn and Matlab. The input parameters are executed under Matlab, and then exported to Recurdyn environment. Kinematic parameters will be executed by RecurDyn then exported to Matlab. The main tasks of this paper are performing 2R robotic manipulator kinematic simulation in two postures with the same trajectory and the same time. Thus, the result of simulation can be compared with theories. Finally, a real 2R robot model was used to verify the trajectory with CAE simulation.
