A hierarchical optimization procedure for the optimal synthesis of a double-axle steering mechanism used in truck with dynamic loads is presented. A multibody model of double-axle steering mechanism is presented to characterize the leaf spring effect. The influences of dynamic loads, the motion interference of steering linkage resulted from the elastic deformation of leaf spring, and the effect...

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...

The important field of research on ship operation is related to the high efficiency of transportation, the convenience of maneuvering ships, and the safety of navigation. This paper proposes an ontology-based fuzzy support agent for ship steering control and desires to testify the validity of the proposal by applying the fuzzy control model to the steering control system based on linguistic ins...

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

The piezoelectric actuator (PEA) is a well-known device for managing extremely small displacements in the range from 10 pm (1 pm = 10 12 m) to 100 m. When developing a control system for a piezo-actuated positioning mechanism, the actuator dynamics have to be taken into account. An electromechanical piezo model, based on physical principles, is presented in this paper. In this model, a first-or...

Project work present rigid multi body dynamic analysis approach in design. The application of this methodology simplify design process and give correct result. For the case study here work of design done on Ackerman steering mechanism for tipper. In this first according to Ackerman conditions basic geometry is design and then optimize it for static loading, modal analysis and then for dynamic f...

Electric Power Steering (EPS) is a full electric system, which reduces the amount of steering effort by directly applying the output from an electric motor to the steering system. In this paper, the constitutions and its operational mechanism of electric power steering system, and the construction and the equivalent circuit of the DC motor used in EPS were introduced; and the EPS hardware frame...
