Abstracts The gears are the simplest gear mechanisms that transmit
rotary motion between two shafts and reductors used in construction of
general use in automotive transmissions. Principal advantages are constant
transmission report and high efficiency while the principal disadvantages
are high precision of execution and high cost of fabrication. Gears are
power transmission elements and they have to be made from special
materials, because the gears decide the torque, speed and direct rotation of
the driven shaft. Today many materials are available to a gear designer.
Material analysis, show us that the theoretical limits of chemical
composition are found in the material structure, which we have analyzed.
Microstructures and the chemical analysis tell us that the material is
homogeneous.
Key words: gears, torque.
Abstract. The paper deals with the main structural, kinematic and
motion characteristics of the fixed sequence walking micro robots. This
point of view is firstly approached in the mechanisms literature.
Key words: walking micro robot, motion characteristics,
displacement model.
Abstract. Plastics materials are used more and more even in those
conditions where safety requirements must be full filled, in static and
dynamic conditions. Using of the plastics materials is based on their
properties that were essentially improved in last period; many plastics
material types were also developed.
In these conditions, many laboratories appeared and these were
accredited in accordance with the recognized International Standard
ISO/IEC 17025. Mechanical tests are the most important experiments to
be passed by the plastics materials and perhaps Charpy and Izod tests are
the most used.
This paper presents the numerical simulation, by Finite Element
Method, of those two dynamical mechanical tests Charpy and Izod.
Special material models of materials were used for simulation of the
material failure. Material models like Plastic-kinematic (Cowper-
Symonds), Johnson-Cook, Modified Johnson-Cook, Picewise linear
plasticity, Modified picewise linear plasticity and many others are
available in professional codes.
After numerical modeling of the mechanical test in a very good
concordance with the experimental results, a lot of different numerical
studies were made regarding to the influence of the material, constructive
and modeling parameters.
Key words: Charpy, Izod, mechanical tests, numerical simulation,
FEM.
Abstract. In the last years, several methods for the optimal design
of machine parts were developed. These modern shape optimisation
techniques based on finite element analyses may help to reduce stresses
in notched machine parts significantly. However, these new procedures
work iteratively and lead to a complex surface design of the machine
parts. Additionally, these methods are often much time consuming. In
this paper, some newer approaches for the optimal design of notched
machine parts were analysed. These proposed methods are based on a
simplified geometric design instead of iterative shape optimisation
techniques. As a result, it can be shown that stresses will be reduced
drastically and the structures weight may be minimized. Furthermore,
these procedures were implemented as user defined commands in a
CAD program which lead to a fast and reliable application in the
industrial practice. As examples, several real-world problems were
investigated, and some simple rods and bars as well.
Key words: stress reduction, notch stress, bionic shapes, stress
optimization.
