Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of the Windshield Wiper Mechanisms Used for Motor Vehicles
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we attempt to analyze and simulate the windshield wiper mechanisms, using the multibody systems software ADAMS. The design algorithm involves three mechanical models: kinematic model – to performe the positional analysis of the wiper system, inverse dynamic model – to determine the torque applied to the motor crank in order to generate the kinematically-prescribed behavior, and dynamic model – to evaluate the “real” behavior of the wiper system.

In this paper, a new structure of axial flux switched reluctance motors (AFSRMs) is proposed. Different combinations of rotors and stators affect motor torque and its performance. In this regard, changing the stator structure of the AFSRM leads to better results for torque and magnetic flux. The advantages of the proposed structure are short flux path, segmental rotor with improved flux density...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications
The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...
