Simulation of Crimping Process for Electrical Contacts to ensure Structural Integrity of Crimped Joint under Static Loads

2024-26-029101/16/2024

The use of electrical contacts in aerospace applications is crucial, particularly in connectors that transmit signal and power. Crimping is a widely preferred method for joining electrical contacts, as it provides a durable connection and can be easily formed. This process involves applying mechanical load to the contact, inducing permanent deformation in the barrel and wire to create a reliable joint with sufficient wire retention force. This study utilizes commercially available Abaqus software to simulate the crimping process using an explicit solver. The methodology developed for this study correlates FEA and testing for critical quality parameters such as structural integrity, mechanical strength, and joint filling percentage. A four-indenter crimping tool CAD model is utilized to form the permanent joint at the barrel-wire contact interfaces, with displacement boundary conditions applied to the jaws of the tool in accordance with MIL-C-22520/1B standard.

Data-Driven Toe Misalignment Detection in Single-Unit Twin-Axle Trucks

2024-26-027801/16/2024

Toe misalignment detection and its correction are important periodic tasks recommended by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for Heavy Commercial Road Vehicles (HCRVs) to prevent premature tyre wear and improve fuel economy. Existing misalignment detection methods need skilled professionals to operate sophisticated equipment, while automated methods require additional sensors, which are not readily available in most trucks, making their implementation challenging. This study explores the effectiveness of a data-driven method to detect toe misalignment in single-unit twin-axle trucks with symmetric and asymmetric toe configurations. This method involves continuous monitoring of lateral dynamics variables measurable using sensors present in most trucks making it practically tractable. Ramp steer manoeuvres with a 45◦ steering angle and a rise time of 3 seconds in two directions (clockwise and anticlockwise) for two toe configurations (symmetric and asymmetric) constituted the four

Halfshaft Joints Lifetime Prediction Method and Tool Development

2022-01-029003/29/2022

This study is inspired by the technological developments across all product development areas for the elimination of physical testing based on data analytics. As one of the important driveline components, halfshaft fatigue performance is mostly limited by CV Joints life. That being the case, product development engineering teams are challenged to deal with black box CV joint designs from various suppliers and validate them for different applications. In this paper, it's mentioned about the method development of road load data usage to have robust lifetime prediction for CV joints. Instantaneous joint angles which are not possible to acquire during vehicle testing with conventional equipments are one of the main parameters for the damage rating. A solution is provided to generate a correlation between theoretical angle calculations and available parameters from the given road load data.

2022-01-072703/29/2022

Mechanical systems accomplish their tasks better when enhanced with cyber technologies. With the rapidly escalating desire for high efficiency, optimization and flexibility, these physical systems ought to be integrated with cyber technologies that enhance exhaustive manipulation of resources and unsurpassed productivity. The gateway for such a synergetic integration can be referred to as digitization. Details regarding the digitization of a High-altitude Simulation chamber are discussed thoroughly in this paper. The simulation chamber was originally designed and developed as a test bench to study the characteristics of alternative fuels used in the engines of handheld tools in different altitudes and thermal conditions. It encompasses all the possible realistic temperature variations with altitude raising to 3500m above sea level.

Synthetic LiDAR Point Cloud Data Generation Tool and Deep Learning Validation

2022-01-017703/29/2022

LiDAR sensors are set to become common in automated driving due to their high accuracy. However, LiDAR processing algorithm development suffers from lack of training data, partly due to the sensors' high cost. The few public datasets (e.g. KITTI) offer poor coverage of edge case scenarios, whereas these are essential to address to support safe self-driving. We address the unmet need for abundant, high-quality LiDAR data with the development of an artificial LiDAR point cloud generation tool and validate this tool's performance against the PIXOR model, which was trained on the KITTI dataset. The tool makes use of a single camera raycasting process to generate synthetic data and is used in conjunction with filtering techniques to create segmented and filtered object class-specific datasets . The tool has the potential to support the low-cost generation of accurate bulk data in support of training advanced self-driving algorithms, with configurability to simulate commercial and yet-to-be

The missing link: Developing a safety case for perception components in automated driving

2022-01-098403/29/2022

Safety assurance is a central concern for the development and societal acceptance of automated driving (AD) systems. Perception is a key aspect of AD that relies heavily on Machine Learning (ML). Despite the known challenges with the safety assurance of ML-based components, proposals have recently emerged for unit-level safety cases addressing these components. Unfortunately, AD safety cases express safety requirements at the system-level and these efforts are missing the critical linking argument connecting safety requirements at the system-level to component performance requirements at the unit-level. In this paper, we propose a generic template for such a linking argument specifically tailored for perception components. The template takes a deductive and formal approach to define strong traceability between levels. We demonstrate the applicability of the template with a detailed case study and discuss its use as a tool to support incremental development of perception components.

Impact of weld fixture clamp force variation on dimensional integrity in low volume Body-in-White build

2021-28-021610/01/2021

Body in White (BIW) is an assembly of multiple sheet metal components. The BIW is the major contributor to the dimensional and structural integrity of an automobile. The accuracy and precision of the BIW is influenced by multiple factors involved in the manufacturing lifecycle of the BIW. Weld fixtures are the tools used for accurately locating and holding sheet metal components during joining. The primary motive of the locating and holding strategy is to arrest all degrees of freedom of a component. Geometric repeatability of the components is also of high importance. Component location is universally achieved by standardized locator pins and mylars that maintain the Principal Location Points (PLP) and Master Control Patches (MCP). In Low volume BIW build employs non-automated clamping methodologies in general, using manual clamps or toggle clamps. This paper studied the dimensional variation of sheet metal assemblies with variation in clamping forces in manual non-automated clamping

Target Development for Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Powertrain Sound Design

2021-01-101708/31/2021

Relative to Combustion Engine vehicles, electric powertrains are a blank canvas for sound. There are an increasing number of applications where sound is added to enhance the driving experience and increase pedestrian safety. In Hybrid vehicles, the combustion engine sound is not always present and must properly blend in with any additional sound added to the vehicle. Vehicle manufacturers have an opportunity to reinforce their brand identity through the addition of the perfect, target sound. Each brand, market segment, and powertrain require unique sounds. In addition, shuttle or ride sharing applications highlight the need for added sound during other scenarios to reinforce the brand sound. Traditional sound quality measurements and preference testing are very limited in defining the perfect sound due to the subjective nature of sound design. This paper describes an improvement over prior sound quality process development through the incorporation of several subjective input tools

Object Tracking Comparison for Automated Vehicles Using MathWorks Toolsets

2021-01-011004/06/2021

Object trackers are a tool to achieve accurate object state estimation over time. Due to their complexity, a framework to experiment with different variations of trackers and their subcomponents is desired. This drove the authors research and experimentation with object tracking using MathWorks toolsets. In this paper, three object trackers - Point Target Tracker (PTT), Gamma Gaussian Inverse Wishart Probability Hypothesis Density (GGIW-PHD), and Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD) - are compared in simulation for track statistics and object/track accuracy. The results show that a rectangular GM-PHD multi object tracker outperforms the other trackers. A follow up is shown using real-world data and the process used to get the sensor data into the appropriate MathWorks format. The impact of COVID-19 prevented the collection of ground truth data so the real-world data cannot be compared using the same metrics. For this reason, the simulation portion of this paper will

Novel Methodology to Compute Halfshaft Joint Forces and Virtually Simulate Powertrain Wiggle

2021-01-066504/06/2021

Vibrations affect vehicle occupants and should be prevented early in design process. Powertrain (PT) wiggle is one of the well-known issues. It is the 3rd order lateral vibration, forced by half shaft inner LH/RH plunging tripod joints [1,2]. Lateral PT resonance (7-15Hz) occurs at certain vehicle speed during acceleration and may excite lateral, pitch and roll PT modes. Typically, PT wiggle occurs in speed range of 5-25kph. Vibration is noticeable on driver and passenger seats mostly in lateral direction. The inner half shaft joints are the major source of vibration. Unfortunately, existing MBD tools like Adams [3] are missing detailed tripod joint representation because of complex mechanical interactions inside the joint. At least three sliding contacts between tripod rollers and joint housing, lubricant inside the can and combination of rotation and plunging make the modeling too complicated. This paper is dedicated to provide a novel methodology in tripod joint modeling which

Development of a Non-Parametric Robot Calibration Method to Improve Drilling Accuracy

2021-01-000303/02/2021

The drilling of large quantities of repetitive holes during the manufacture of large aerospace components is often considered a key limiting factor with regards to production efficiency. Whilst the desire within aerospace is to use relatively cheap six axis robot arms with drilling end effector units, their poor accuracy remains an obstacle. Robot calibration presents a way of improving robot accuracy such that aerospace drilling tolerances can be met, without permanently committing metrology equipment to an automation cell during production. Extensive research has been conducted into robot calibration by correcting the kinematic model, known as parametric calibration. This method is highly complex, and calibrates the robot across the entire working volume. This is often not required in industrial drilling applications, as drilling routines are often contained within a smaller volume of the robot reach. In this paper, a non-parametric method of robot calibration is proposed. This

Multirotor Aircraft Noise Reduction

TBMG-3820112/01/2020

Noise produced by multirotor vehicles may be objectionable to some, especially as industry moves toward drone deliveries and potentially air taxi operations. Multirotor aircraft typically create a significant amount of tonal noise from each rotor. Groups of rotors operating at the same rotation rate with an appropriate phase offset can be used to reduce the tonal noise of the aircraft when there are multiple rotors on each side of the aircraft. Reducing tonal noise, depending on the aircraft design, can effectively reduce the total noise output for a given flight scenario.
