Abstract: Double Wishbone suspension systems are by far the best choice of suspension systems recommended for sports vehicles. It is more stable and stiffer when compared to the other suspension geometries. In this report a brief study of how a double-wishbone suspension system acts under loading conditions when traveling at high speeds is presented, also the forces acting on its components are analysed, and post-processed results are discussed. The geometry of the whole suspension is designed on SolidWorks and analysis is performed on Ansys software. Further the results from the analysis are studied based on material selection and various analysis methods. Finally, the proposed suspension system is concluded safe to use when the values of Equivalent stress, Total Deformation, and Factor of Safety were measured and under threshold limits. Keywords: double wishbone suspension, static structural, suspension system, analysis, deformation, Ansys, stress analysis, FOS, FEA, structural analysis.

Every All-Terrain vehicle right now uses independent suspension system which consists of double wishbones connected to all the tires. As All-Terrain vehicles generally operated on different road conditions it is an absolute necessity to have a robust design of wish bones. A good deformation rate and good FOS determines how good a design. In this study we have designed three types of upper wishbones in Solid Works whose suspension geometry based on wheel base, track width, roll center and pith center of the vehicle is validated in LOTUS software and the following graphs of camber, castor, toe, kingpin inclination are obtained. Linear static structural analysis is performed on all the three types designed in Ansys software and total deformation rate, equivalent stresses generated and FOS is calculated and the based on the results the best design is used for the vehicle. The design provided greater suspension travel, reducing the un-sprung mass of the vehicle, maximizing the performance of the suspension system of the vehicle and better handling of vehicle while cornering. The design is used in SAE BAJA 2020 competition Conducted in Chitkara University Punjab.

The suspension system is a combination of tires, springs, shock absorbers, and connectors that connect the vehicle to its wheels, allowing the vehicle to travel reasonably well.  The primary goal of this research was to mitigate the suspension system's overall weight. And improve the total strength of the vehicle suspension system by using ANSYS. Calculated the total deformation and equivalent stress at different loading conditions and check the durability of the system by using the FEA method. The deployment of FEA (finite element analysis) to analyses the fatigue life and stationary stress of a Vehicle Suspension System resulted in a flexible architecture that can be utilized in Vehicle Suspension Systems implementations. The current carbon alloy VSS can be lowered to a compact Vehicle Suspension Systems with better durable capabilities and good mechanical qualities, as well as emitting low carbon dioxide (CO2) benefits. On comparing The titanium Ti-6Al-4V with Titanium Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al and cast iron, inside this analysis it is concluded that  titanium Ti-6Al-4V outperforms than other two with regards to the material composition.  Seeing as titanium Ti-6Al-4V has a greater yield stress on comparing to titanium Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al.  The cast iron and titanium Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al have high densities while Titanium Ti-6Al-4V has low densities .

To solve the housing damage problem of a fractured compressor blade (CB) caused by an impact on the inner casing of a gas turbine in the seventh stage (from 15 stages), modifications of the trailing edge (TE) of the CB have been proposed, namely 6.5 mm curved cutting and a combination of 4 mm straight cutting with 6.5 mm curved cutting. The simulation results of the modifications in both aerodynamics variables Cl and Cd and the pressure ratio, including structural dynamics such as a normalized power spectrum, frequency, total deformation, equivalent stress, and the safety factor, found that 6.5 mm curved cutting could deliver the aerodynamics and structural dynamics similar to the original CB. This result also overcomes the previous work that proposed 5.0 mm straight cutting. This work also indicates that the operation of a CB gives uneven pressure and temperature, which get higher in the TE area. The slightly modified CB can present the difference in the properties of both the aerodynamics and the structural dynamics. Therefore, any modifications of the TE should be investigated for both properties simultaneously. Finally, the results from this work can be very useful information for the modification of the CB in the housing damage problem of the other rotating types of machinery in a gas turbine power plant.

According to the situation that the dual-friction drums on the new type towing machine lack stress analysis when designed, the safety is difficult to test and verify. The pull of wire rope in various positions was derived and calculated, so both compressive stress and tangent friction force generated by the pull of wire rope were calculated. The result made by ANSYS software demonstrates the safety of the left drum which suffers from larger loads, structure improvement measures are put forward for the drum.

A new stress analysis and thickness design procedure for jointed concrete pavements was developed. On the basis of Westergaard’s edge stress solution and several prediction models for stress adjustments for a variety of loading and environmental (i.e., thermal curling) conditions, a modified Portland Cement Association (PCA) equivalent stress analysis and thickness design procedure was proposed and implemented in a highly user-friendly, Windows-based program, TKUPAV, for practical trial applications. The proposed approach has been further verified by reproducing results very close to the PCA’s equivalent stresses and fatigue damages using a spreadsheet program and the TKUPAV program. The possible detrimental effect of loading plus daytime curling has been illustrated in a case study, which also indicated that the effect of thermal curling should be considered in the thickness design of concrete pavements.

In view of the performance requirements (e.g., ride comfort, road holding, and suspension space limitation) for vehicle suspension systems, this paper proposes an adaptive optimal control method for quarter-car active suspension system by using the approximate dynamic programming approach (ADP). Online optimal control law is obtained by using a single adaptive critic NN to approximate the solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Stability of the closed-loop system is proved by Lyapunov theory. Compared with the classic linear quadratic regulator (LQR) approach, the proposed ADP-based adaptive optimal control method demonstrates improved performance in the presence of parametric uncertainties (e.g., sprung mass) and unknown road displacement. Numerical simulation results of a sedan suspension system are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Bone implants are a tool used as a support of body parts, and bone support in cases of fractures. Scaffold, plate, bone screw, and some other tools can be used in combination to support and fill the connection between broken bones before the tissue grows. The most commonly used implant materials are Titanium, Stainless steel and ceramics, which are very common in the use of medical devices. Biocompatible materials are taken into consideration when planning a medical device. This research intended to know the durability of duralumin material as the latest implant material, as the development and breakthrough in health world. The research methodology used in this study was the optimization in Ansys software 18.1. The implants were designed, the material strength was determined and then given imposition with 6 variations (450 N, 550 N, 650 N, 750 N, 850 N and 950 N). The optimization was a method that identified mat erial strength including Equivalent Stress, Shear Stress and Total Deformation of duralumin material as implant materials with loading variations. Based on the results of the research, the duralumin material had a equivalent stress of 475,700 Pa which was higher than 950000 Pa for ZnO-Al2O3 implants, while the duralumin shear stress of 1084500 Pa was higher than 313720 Pa for ZnO-Al2O3 implants. When compared with titanium implants, the highest equivalent stress of 150000 Pa duralumin material had a higher compression stress than titanium. The highest shear stress of titanium 4358.1 Pa means an implant with a higher shear duralumin material of titanium. Whereas if it was compared to stainless steel with voltage press 564000000 Pa, then the duralumin’s pressure was getting lower. Material hardness affects resistance to wear and tear. Duralumin material hardness was lower than Titanium and ZnO-Al2O3, so total Duralumin deformation (elasticity) was higher than Titanium and ZnO-Al2O3.

Onion farming is more commonly practiced for an irrigated crop, resulting in a high yield with large sized bulbs. Manual harvesting of an onion being meticulous requires a large amount of manpower as well as time. Thus, we have constructed and evaluated a self-propelled onion harvester which will have good performance in terms of productivity, fuel economy, less damage to crop and operator comfort. This paper is intended to discuss the results of the design and analysis of the chassis under the guidelines of the SAE TIFAN rulebook [1]. The chassis is designed using tool CATIA V5 followed by Finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS and the consequent results have been plotted and comparative results of old and modified chassis has proposed. During chassis designing and analysis, several factors are taken into account like material selection, strength, durability, boundary conditions, force distribution, induced stresses, optimum factor of safety, ergonomics and aesthetics. All the decisions for design are based on all pros and cons from testing and results of previous competitions.

This study aims to develop and analyse a finite element model of the endodontic nickel-titanium (NiTi) instrument during the root canal treatment (RCT). The 3D model of the tooth and the endodontic instrument has been created using computer-aided design software. The nonlinear explicit dynamic analysis in the CAE package (ANSYS) has been used to analyse the mechanical behaviour of endodontic instruments such as total deformation, equivalent elastic strain, and equivalent stress during canal preparation. The mechanical behaviour of three commercially available endodontic NiTi alloy instruments such as WaveOne Gold (WOG), 2Shape 1 (TS1) and 2Shape 2 (TS2) endodontic files was evaluated using FEA. Consequently, the effect of deformation, equivalent stress and equivalent elastic strain on endodontic files during cleaning and shaping are investigated and compared. The results show that the total deformation and equivalent elastic strain are maximum in the TS1 endodontic file in comparison to TS2 and WOG files. Graphical abstract [Formula: see text]
