Finding kinematic quantities of a mechanism and a structural analysis of its members after blockage
Zvozil, Ondrej ; Vosynek, Petr (oponent) ; Fuis, Vladimír (vedoucí práce)
The master's thesis, which has originated in cooperation with company AUFEER DESIGN (AFD), focuses on an analysis of particular windshield wiper mechanism of an automobile. First, brief history of windshield wipers is stated. Wiper systems are then divided by their layout and way of their actuation. Particular mechanism which is being analyzed is then introduced. In the following chapter, a problem situation, problem and a system of substantial quantities are formulated. Kinematic quantities of the mechanism's key points are determined using analytic and numeric approach. A computational model for kinematic analysis is developed in Matlab and SimMechanics. The next part is dedicated to creation of a FE model in ANSA. All structural analyses are performed in Abaqus. The first of them is a parametric study, which reveals critical positions of the mechanism in terms of compressional loading of certain parts. Loading of the mechanism with blocked wiper arms in critical positions is then performed. Finally, linear buckling analyses of parts which have possibility of buckling are performed, followed by nonlinear analyses with involved imperfections.
