Day By Day

The automotive industry has always been concerned with improving day by day all of its vehicle models, developing more comfortable systems for its users, such as rear cameras, automatic parking systems, collision detection, air bags, etc. However, it has neglected certain aspects like the replacement of tires when having a puncture, using devices that have not changed in a long time. We present the design of a protoype coupled to a bottle-type hydraulic jack to elevate automotive vehicles, replacing the mechanical energy provided by the human with electrical energy of direct current provided by the car’s battery. The prototype consists of a 12 V gear motor that moves a gear train mechanism to activate a crank that will be coupled to the jack to produce the lifting.

The Stability

Abstract Brake squeal phenomenon poses serious challenges to the automotive industry due to its technical complexity and the pressing need for mitigating its undesirable effects. More importantly, brake squeal causes significant customer dissatisfaction and adversely affects the subjective quality of the vehicles. These effects have substantial economic impact on the automotive industry. Furthermore, it is essential to properly treat the brake squeal problems in order to avoid unexpected catastrophic failure of the brake system. In this paper, it is proposed to mitigate the brake squeal problems by providing the brake pads with piezoelectric patches which are shunted by properly tuned electric networks. The shunted piezoelectric pads offer a unique ability to convert the mechanical energy induced by the brake squeal into electrical energy which can be dissipated into the network in order to enhance the damping and stability characteristics of the brake system. Accordingly, it is envisioned that the proposed approach would enable the disc brake systems to operate over broad ranges of operating parameters without experiencing the adverse effects of brake squeal. The proposed system is modeled by a simple two Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) disc brake model. The structural DOF are integrated with the constitutive model of the shunted piezoelectric network in order to predict the threshold of brake squeal. The stability limits of the proposed brake system are established as a function of the design parameters of the shunted piezoelectric network. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in expanding the operating range of the brake system without experiencing squeal problems. Application of the proposed system to a distributed disc brake system model is a natural extension of the present work.

<p>A new method of charging a mobile phone with the help of hand crank generator, and solar panel is being presented in this paper. Solar panel is useful during daylight and hand crank generator can be used at night. So this is a dual mode charger which is operated in either way and both ways do not consume system power. This type of mobile charger is very useful when traveling because it uses solar panel to convert renewable source light into electricity. Mechanical hand crank generator is used which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and then charges the mobile. No electrical sources are needed for it. Our design uses a compound gear train for transformation of the mechanical energy generated from the hand crank to the generator. For that reason it is convenient as well as economical to use such kind of mobile charger for our mobile phone.</p>

Euler Bernoulli Beam

It is known that piezoelectric material shunted with external circuits can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, which is so called piezoelectric shunt damping technology. In this paper, a piezoelectric stacks ring (PSR) is designed for vibration control of beams and rotor systems. A relative simple electromechanical model of an Euler Bernoulli beam supported by two piezoelectric stacks shunted with resonant RL circuits is established. The equation of motion of such simplified system has been derived using Hamilton’s principle. A more realistic FEA model is developed. The numerical analysis is carried out using COMSOL® and the simulation results show a significant reduction of vibration amplitude at the specific natural frequencies. Using finite element method, the influence of circuit parameters on lateral vibration control is discussed. A preliminary experiment of a prototype PSR verifies the PSR’s vibration reduction effect.

Isomorphic Graphs

Epicyclic gear trains (EGTs) are used in the mechanical energy transmission systems where high velocity ratios are needed in a compact space. It is necessary to eliminate duplicate structures in the initial stages of enumeration. In this paper, a novel and simple method is proposed using a parameter, Vertex Incidence Polynomial (VIP), to synthesize epicyclic gear trains up to six links eliminating all isomorphic gear trains. Each epicyclic gear train is represented as a graph by denoting gear pair with thick line and transfer pair with thin line. All the permissible graphs of epicyclic gear trains from the fundamental principles are generated by the recursive method. Isomorphic graphs are identified by calculating VIP. Another parameter “Rotation Index” (RI) is proposed to detect rotational isomorphism. It is found that there are six nonisomorphic rotation graphs for five-link one degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) and 26 graphs for six-link 1-DOF EGTs from which all the nonisomorphic displacement graphs can be derived by adding the transfer vertices for each combination. The proposed method proved to be successful in clustering all the isomorphic structures into a group, which in turn checked for rotational isomorphism. This method is very easy to understand and allows performing isomorphism test in epicyclic gear trains.

The main objective of this study is to increase the aerodynamic efficiency of turbine mounted novel wing. The main motive behind this work is to reduce the drag by attaining the positive velocity gradient and generate power by converting the stagnation pressure which also acts as emergency power source. By using the energy source of free stream air, Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The obtained power is presented in terms of voltage generated at various angles of attack with different Reynolds number. Experimental analysis is carried out for NACA4415 airfoil at various angles with respect to free stream ranging from 0deg to 30deg from laminar to turbulent Reynolds number. The results were obtained using the research tunnel at IARE aerodynamic facility center. The aerodynamic advantage of this design in terms of voltage is 9.5 V at 35m/s which can be utilized for the aircraft on board power systems.
