An error analysis is very important for a precision machine to estimate its performances. This study proposes a new parallel device, cubic parallel manipulator. Errors of the proposed cubic parallel manipulator include upper and down universal joint errors, due to the directional changes in the forces in the links, and actuation errors. An error analysis is presented based on an error model formed through the relation between the universal joint errors of the cubic parallel manipulator and the end effector accuracy. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of other cubic parallel devices.

This paper suggests a way to improve the strength of the driveshaft, which is a vulnerable part of the drive axle system, for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle. The driveshaft is composed of a universal joint with a spider and yoke, yoke shaft, etc. The driveshaft is developed by choosing design parameters for the spider and yoke such as the diameter and distance through the structural analysis of the driveshaft's components. Some driveshaft design cases have been made and analyzed with ANSYS; the strength of the driveshaft parts are validated from these results to propose an optimal design case. Finally, we suggest a driveshaft system that satisfies the working conditions for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle.

This paper suggests how to improve the fatigue strength of an axle shaft, which is the vulnerable part of an axle shaft system for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle. The axle shaft is composed of a universal joint with a spider and yoke, yoke shaft, and so on. Structural analysis of the initial axle shaft was conducted to select the exact area for structural strength fatigue improvement, and as a result, the inner/outer yoke shaft and spider were selected. Four cases considered design variables, such as length and thickness, to verify the enhanced durability of the axle shaft, and fatigue analysis was conducted. Finally, we suggest that the axle shaft system satisfied the working conditions for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle.

According to the axial torsion applied at power transmission and the vibration from the roughness of road surface, this paper analyzes the stresses on two kinds of universal joint model. As stress and deformation at model 2 becomes smaller than model 1 on structural analysis, model 2 is more stabilized than model 1. The natural frequencies at model 1 and 2 are 7,040 and 9,540 Hz respectively. As the natural frequency range of model 2 becomes higher than model 1, model 2 becomes safer than model 1. Critical frequencies at these models are calculated through harmonic response analyses. On critical frequencies at model 1 and 2, the stress at model 2 becomes lower than 2 times as much as model 1 and the deformation at model 2 becomes lower than 4 times as much as model 1. Model 2 on durability is thought to become better than model 1. This study result is applied with the design of safe universal joint and it can be useful to improve the durability by predicting prevention against the deformation due to its vibration.

An error analysis is very important for a precision machine tool to estimate its performance. This study proposes a new parallel device, a cubic parallel manipulator. Errors of the proposed cubic parallel manipulator include universal joint errors, errors occurring due to changes in the fore directions in the links, and actuation errors. An error analysis is performed for the manipulator platform moving at uniform velocity. The analysis shows how the position and orientation of the platform influences the directional link forces that change the errors in the manipulator. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of parallel devices.

Purpose : This paper is a comparative analysis results of the fatigue test for dental implants and accelerated life test by using a static type loading device commonly used in Korea and a dynamic type loading device (universal-joint) recommended by FDA. Methods : Fatigue tests of dental implant is based on ISO 14801 and classified into static load test and dynamic load test. The tests were carried out on three test specimens by four load stress steps under each loading device. For analysis on failure mode such as crack, fracture and permanent deformation of test specimens, we used X-ray three-dimensional computed tomography on test specimens before and after the fatigue tests. The design of the accelerated life test was based on the analysis results of the fatigue life data obtained from the dynamic load test and the statistical analysis software (Minitab ver.15) was used to analyze the appropriate life distribution. Results : As a result of the fatigue tests and the accelerated life tests at same acceleration condition under each test method, the fatigue life under the dynamic type loading device (universal-joint) was shorter than when static type loading device was applied. Conclusion : This paper can be used as a reference when the universal-joint type loading device for implants fatigue test is applied as ISO 14801.

Mechanical components are to be produced with accurate dimensions in order to function properly in assemblies of a machine. Once designs of mechanical components are created, designers examine the designs by adopting many known experimental methods. A primary test method includes stress and strain evaluation of structural parts. In addition, fatigue test and vibration analysis are an important test method for mechanical components. Real experiments at a laboratory are established when products are manufactured. Since design changes should be done before producing the designs in factories, rapid modifications for new designs are required in production industries. FEM simulation is a proper choice for a design evaluation with speed at a detail stage in design process. This research focuses modeling and mechanical simulation of a mechanical component in order to ensure structural safety. In this paper, a universal joint, being used in driving axels of vehicles, is studied as a target component. A design model is created and tested in some ways by using commercial software of FEM. The designed component is being twisted to transmit heavy power and thus, torsional stress should be under strengths of the component's material. The next is fatigue analysis to convince fatigue cycles to be within the endurance limit of the material. Another test is a vibration analysis for rotational components. This research draws final conclusions from these test analyses and recommends whether the designed model is under safety condition in terms of mechanical structure.
