kinematic synthesis of a trailing six-member mechanism for automotive steering
Authors
abstract
kinematic synthesis of a trailing six-member mechanism has been carried out to achieve five precision points of an automotive steering mechanism. the inner wheel can be rotated up to forty five degrees with fair accuracy. results show that the divergent end behavior of ackermann steering mechanism has been overcome by the present mechanism. the work is similar to earlier work by the present author. but the present mechanism is a trailing mechanism instead of a leading one. this helps to eliminate the spur gears used earlier to bring the mechanism on the rear side of the front axle.

full textQuasi-kinematic Couplings for Precision Automotive Assemblies
There are an innumerable number of precision automotive assemblies which use pinned joints for alignment. Many of these suffer from poor performance and cost/quality issues because pinned joints are inherently over-constrained. This paper introduces the Quasi-Kinematic Coupling (QKC) as a solution for precision (better than 10 microns) automotive assemblies. For these applications, QKCs require...
full textKinematic Mapping and Forward Kinematic Problem of a 5-DOF (3T2R) Parallel Mechanism with Identical Limb Structures
The main objective of this paper is to study the Euclidean displacement of a 5-DOF parallel mechanism performing three translation and two independent rotations with identical limb structures-recently revealed by performing the type synthesis-in a higher dimensional projective space, rather than relying on classical recipes, such as Cartesian coordinates and Euler angles. In this paper, Study's...
full textA steering mechanism for phototaxis in Chlamydomonas.
Chlamydomonas shows both positive and negative phototaxis. It has a single eyespot near its equator, and as the cell rotates during the forward motion, the light signal received by the eyespot varies. We use a simple mechanical model of Chlamydomonas that couples the flagellar beat pattern to the light intensity at the eyespot to demonstrate a mechanism for phototactic steering that is consiste...
full textdevelopment of a mechanism for measuring forces and aligning moment acting on the steering wheels of a four-wheel vehicle
in this paper, a low-cost dynamometer for rolling, steered wheels is described. the dynamometer was constructed to determine whether such an instrumented mechanism was practical. four s-beam load cells, an opto-counter and a potentiometer were used to obtain all moments, and forces using dynamic and kinematic analysis. minimal simplifying assumptions considered for the required calculations. ov...
full textExperimental and Finite Element Studies on Free Vibration of Automotive Steering Knuckle
The main aim of this research is to determine the best material for manufacturing of steering knuckle in order to reduce the weight using aluminum alloy and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). To achieve this purpose, the Modal test has been performed to study vibrational behavior of steering knuckle. CAD Model has been prepared by using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Finally, the Finite Element...
