This paper deals with the comparison of analysis methodologies by applying both Euler angle and quaternion to observe the kinematical behavior of the universal joint system used as an automotive drive-shaft. At first, conventional approaches are applied to predict a kinematical behavior by introducing only Euler angles into the universal joint system, but turns out to be lack in consistency and reliability of the analysis. Then to overcome this deficiency in numerical analysis a different methodology is proposed by using quaternion in this system. Its corresponding advantage is discussed in terms of kinetic energy, rotational velocity and rotational displacement. The application of quaternions in the numerical experiment is shown to be a more useful and valid way of establishing the ideal analytical model of the universal joint system.

본 논문에서는 유니버설 조인트의 동역학적인 해석을 위하여 오일러 각 순서에 의한 방법과 4원수에 의한 방법으로 운동방정식을 유도하였다. 원동축과 종동축의 회전은 물론 세차운동을 하는 회전축을 포함할 때 각 방법의 상이점을 발견하였다. 이러한 시스템의 동역학적 정식화를 바탕으로 한 수치 예제를 통하여 기존의 오일러 각 방법과 제시한 4원수 방법의 해석 결과를 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 유니버설 조인트의 기구학적인 해석을 위하여 원동축이 평면 내에 존재할 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우에 대하여 종동축의 속도를 관찰하였다. 평면 내의 경우는 기존 이론값과 동일하나 평면 외의 경우는 유한회전의 순서에 따라서 독립적인 결과값을 가지게 된다. 이는 오일러 각의 순서를 달리하면 표현되는 속도가 다르기 때문이며 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 원동축에 4원법을 적용하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 기존의 방법과 제시한 방법을 비교하여 제시한 방법이 일관성 있는 결과를 제공함을 확인하였다.

This study proposes an error analysis for a cubic parallel device. There are many sources of errors in the device. An error analysis is presented based on an error model formed from the relation between the universal joint error of the cubic parallel manipulator and the end effector accuracy. The analysis shows that the method can be used in evaluating the accuracy of a parallel device.

Chassis part in automotive body is affected by fatigue load at driving on the ground. Universal joint on this part is influenced extremely by the fatigue load. Fatigue life, damage and natural frequency are analyzed at universal joint under nonuniform fatigue load. The york part at universal joint is shown with the maximum equivalent stress and displacement of 60.755 MPa and 0.21086 mm as strength analysis. The possible life in use in case of 'SAE bracket' is the shortest among the fatigue loading lives of 'SAE bracket', 'SAE transmission' and 'Sine Wave'. The damage at loading life of 'SAE transmission' is the least among 3 types. The frequency of damage in case of 'Sine Wave' is 0.7 with the least among 3 fatigue loading life types but this case brings the most possible damage as 80% at the average stress of 0. Natural vibration at this model is analyzed with the orders of 1'st to 5'th and maximum frequency is shown as 701.73 Hz at 5'th order. As the result of this study is applied by the universal joint on chassis part, the prevention on fatigue damage in automotive body and its durability are predicted.

Seals in a universal joint bearing are important components reinforcing lubrication performance by holding lubricant and preventing infiltration of dust, moisture, etc.. There is a great difference in seal performance according to seal shape and bonding position. Therefore, in this study, as for both the lip type seal and the O-ring type seal, FE analysis is conducted using Mooned-Rivlin Model. The results show that O-ring type seal does not have any effect of misalignment angle compared with lib type seal, which is more profitable.

Therefore, in this study, as for the lib type seal and O-ring type seal, FEM analysis are conducted using Mooney-Rivlin Model. The results are indicate that O-ring having higher contact stress and larger contact area than lib type is more profitable.

There are many sources of errors in the parallel device. This study investigates the effect of a clearance error at a U-joint on the position and orientation errors of the platform of a new parallel device, cubic parallel manipulator. In this study, the limits of errors can be estimated for given conditions.
