Design of shaped springs for mechanical resonators
Ševčík, Jakub ; Kšica, Filip (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the design of a structural flexible member for mechanical resonators. Such designed member could find application as part of a vibration generator system. Vibration generators are used to power sensors where it is not easy to supply electrical energy, especially in railway transportation, specifically in monitoring the condition of tracks. This thesis provides an overview of current constructions of vibration generators, drawing inspiration for the subsequent design of the flexible component of the mechanical resonator. Subsequently, a suitable construction is created to ensure proper functioning of the resonator at frequencies ranging from 15 to 50 Hz. The design takes into account the manufacturing process using laser cutting and 3D printing. Two versions are created, where the first is suitable for laser cutting, and the second is suitable for 3D printing. The designed flexible components are then kinematically excited, and their maximum deflection at the resonant frequency is determined using the Ansys and Simulink software. Lastly, a spring suitable for 3D printing is manufactured. Its maximum deflection and the maximum generated power are determined. At an acceleration of 1 m/s2, the system achieves a deflection of 0.5 mm, and the generated power in this case is 0.035 mW. With increasing acceleration, the pover values can reach up to 0.8 mW.
