In the process of exploiting and trial-manufacturing the bus school, we find the small stiffness is insufficient, and there exits such phenomenon that small skin fractures and deformations. This paper Builds a three-dimensional model of the school bus by using CATIA software, and then imports the model into Workbench software, establishing a body frame finite model for free modal analysis. Analyzing the free modal of the body frame based on Workbench, we get the body frame’s inherent frequency and vibration mode, and evaluate the body frame vibration characteristics, and put forward improvement proposal on the problem of body frame.

This paper researched dynamic characteristics of 5-DOF scraper chain handling robot by finite element modal analysis. Firstly established the whole three-dimensional model with Solidworks, secondly, transferred it into the ANSYS finite element analysis software to analyze dynamic characteristics in two fixed work positions when it was grasping a scraper chain and carrying a scraper chain on a rail line. It was found the weak component which vibrated heavily was the big arm from the analysis of the top 5 order vibration mode. Then studied modal analysis of the big arm to obtain the its inherent frequency and vibration mode. Finally put forward some suggestions about the design of the handling robot and improved its dynamic characteristics which is meaningful to increase its stability and reliability.

A host computer packaging cushion is designed, including deflection, buffering capacity, creep checking. Then g a three-dimensional model of the host buffer packaging systems is established Simulation of the system, including static analysis, modal analysis, harmonic analysis and transient dynamic analysis. Finally, the physical system is used to do the sine frequency, fixed-frequency sinusoidal vibration test. the vulnerability of the buffer package sinusoidal frequency calculate by the computer modal analysis larger than the resonance frequency of the measured test values This is due to host the actual shell of the computer by each side made of thin steel plate riveting, and list them in the computer simulation as a whole in the shell, so that the overall stiffness of the system become larger, so that the analysis of the inherent frequency than the actual value. Transient dynamic analysis of the computer meets the fixed-frequency sinusoidal test results,which are all happened in the prophase of vibration in the balance position. This vibration last a period causing fatigue, so that the acceleration package increases slowly and the product damage.

SUMMARYA mechanical design and dynamics walking simulation of a novel tripod walking robot are presented in this paper. The tripod walking robot consists of three 1-degree-of-freedom (DOF) Chebyshev–Pantograph leg mechanisms with linkage architecture. A balancing mechanism is mounted on the body of the tripod walking robot to adjust its center of gravity (COG) during walking for balancing purpose. A statically stable tripod walking gait is performed by synchronizing the motions of the three leg mechanisms and the balancing mechanism. A three-dimensional model has been elaborated in SolidWorks® engineering software environment for a characterization of a feasible mechanical design. Dynamics simulation has been carried out in the MSC.ADAMS® environment with the aim to characterize and to evaluate the dynamic walking performances of the proposed design with low-cost easy-operation features. Simulation results show that the proposed tripod walking robot with proper input torques, gives limited reaction forces at the linkage joints, and a practical feasible walking ability on a flatten ground.

Hemiplegia is a type of paralysis that affects one side of the body due to stroke, characterizing severe weakness or rigid movement. Many people of different age groups are affected by this condition which cannot be completely cured but can be minimized through proper physiotherapy. A continuous and repeated exercise has to be given to the hemiplegic subjects to regain their motor function. To serve this purpose, a three-dimensional model of wheelchair contrived with lower limb exoskeleton is designed and motion analysis is done using SolidWorks. This virtual model of the object is created with the assistance of computer-aided design software. Professionals can be able to do the experiment on what-if scenarios with their three-dimensional designs, which helps to validate their devices and identify any snags with design quality. The pattern of behaviour of lower limb exoskeleton is predicted using SimMechanics in MATLAB.

This paper is focus on design and analysis of folding mechanism for a new folding car. Through analyzing folding principle of different folding cars, one chassis folding type car is introduced. A group of lever linkage is determined to realize the folding effect according to the main function designed and the overall dimension of bodywork. Based on the prototype made by earlier stage of the research, three-dimensional model is established and simulated in motion by the use of UG package. For the validation of this mechanism, modal analysis of the chassis is conducted in terms of ANSYS package.

Led die bonder used for bond lead frame and chip is one of the key equipment of led production line. The swing-arm is an important component of led die bonder and its dynamic characteristics will directly affect the piece accuracy. At present, the accuracy and efficiency of led die bonder are limited because of the vibration of the swing-arm. In solving this problem, a three-dimensional finite-element model for swing-arm is built to provide analytical frequencies and vibration modes. Then the modal distribution and vibration mode shapes for swing-arm are obtained after analyzing the modal by ansys10.0. Finally the dynamics effects of this structure by modal frequency and vibration mode are analyzed. The modal analysis of structural would provide the reference to dynamics analysis and structural optimization for swing-arm in practical use.
