This paper presents a numerical study for the development of a low-noise low-vibration industrial wheel for non-pneumatic wheel to significantly reduce vibration and noise. For this, design, injection molding and performance testing were performed. Various geometric shapes and materials were taken into account. For numerical analysis, ANSYS, LS-Dyna, and ABAQUS were used to predict the behavior of the wheel under different loadings based on various design changes. Based on this, 4 prototypes were fabricated by changing the design of wheels and molds, and various vibration and noise tests were carried out. A vibration tester was developed and tested to perform the vibration noise test considering durability. A prototype and test of the final wheel was performed. In the case of the vibration test, the vibration levels were 81.16dB and 80.66dB, which were below the target 90dB. Noise levels were 53.20 dB and 52.55 dB below the target 65dB. In the case of the impact resistance test, it was confirmed that there was no change in appearance after impact. The product weight was measured to be 174g compared to the target of 190g.

In designing full vehicle, crash safety, fuel efficiency, exhaust gas, and driving stability are very important factors. Especially, automotive wheel which supports total vehicle weight is a critical component in view of driving stability. Most of automotive wheel have been manufactured for beautiful appearance by using aluminum alloy in domestic industry. However, the amount of automotive steel wheel used are on an increasing trend according to developing the advanced high strength steel with good formability property recently. In this study, the circumferential deviation of rim with various thickness and yield strength was investigated. The formability evaluation of the rim was developed by using a finite element module furnished by Forge software.

A tracked vehicle is dependent on performance of power pack and suspension systems. Especially, road wheels which are components of suspension system contribute distributing vehicle weight on soil and preventing from misguiding tracks. In this study, the maximum force was calculated that a tracked vehicle is driven on the worst condition. And then, FE analyses were carried out to evaluate strength road wheel under maximum force condition. In standard of quality evaluation for road wheel, FE simulations and experimental works were carried out under thirty degree slant load of normal direction of shaft. And then, A relationship residual deformation for slant load was investigated. The result of this research is applicable to evaluate strength and to make use of basis data.

In this study, the dynamic characteristics for the wheel-type landing gear system of helicopter have been analyzed. Nonlinear multi-body dynamic models of the landing gear system are constructed and the equations of motion, kinematics and internal forces of shock strut are considered. In addition, flexibility effect of the wheel axle with equivalent beam element is taken into account. General purpose commercial finite code, SAMCEF which includes MECANO module is applied. The results of dynamic simulation for various landing and weight conditions are presented and compared with each other. Based on the results, characteristics of impact dynamic behaviors of the landing gear system are practically investigated.

In this paper, a control algorithm for the improvement of yaw and velocity stability of electrical vehicle with two or four in-wheel motors is proposed. The vehicle is modeled with independently operative in-wheel motor wheels. Different frictions on the wheels are regarded as disturbances, which causes driving instability. In this situation the proposed algorithm enables stabilizing the yaw motion and velocity of vehicle simultaneously. The proposed PID controller is composed with two techniques, which enhance the disturbance reject and point tracking performances. One is nonlinear gain function and the other one is improved integral controller operating as time based weight function. Simulation is conducted to reveal its efficient performance.

The vibration of a running vehicle can be classified on lateral, longitudinal and vertical motions. The important factor on the stability and ride quality of a railway vehicle is the lateral motion. The contact between wheel and rail with conicity influences strongly on the lateral motion. In this study, an experiment for the vibration of a running railway vehicle was performed using a small scale railway vehicle model. Also, the effects on the car body, bogie and wheelset were examined for the weight and the stiffness of the first and second suspension. The experimental results showed that the lateral vibration increases as the wheel conicity and stiffness of the second suspension increase. And the lateral vibration of the bogie increases as the mass ratio between car body and bogie increases. Also, the lateral vibration of the wheel becomes high at low speed, while the wheel of 1/20 conicity makes severe vibration at high speed running.

This paper presents the novel design, implementation and control of a single-wheel mobile robot that can balance by using air power from ducted fans. All of the motions of the single-wheel mobile robot are actuated by air power instead of motor torques. Using air power allows to reduce the total weight of the robot. The complementary sensor fusion algorithm is introduced to estimate the angle correctly. After several design and development, the robot is tested for balancing in the roll direction and yawing motion. In addition, the balancing control of the robot on a single rope is tested to evaluate the control performance.

본 연구에서 다루는 탄소섬유 복합재 인라인 휠은 플라스틱 인라인 휠 허브의 기존 재질을 탄소섬유 직물/에폭시 수지로 구성된 디스크 형의 허브로 대체하는 것이다. 지면으로부터의 충격 하중은 탄소섬유 복합재 휠의 충격 성능 평가를 위해 저속 충격 시험이 수행되었고, 기존의 플라스틱 휠의 성능과 비교하여 수행되었다. 본 연구는 시험 조건으로 70 J의 충격 하중을 적용하였다. 충격 에너지는 타격 추의 높이와 무게를 조정하여 조절되었다. 탄소섬유 복합재 디스크 허브의 사용은 무게를 절감하고 실제 운행 조건과 유사한 조건인 낮은 충격에너지에서 우수한 반발력을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 충격 하중에 따라 최대 하중은 비례적으로 증가하지만, 최대 하중의 성장은 20 J 충격 하중에서 감소되었고, 45 J 충격 하중에서부터 감소되는 경향의 결과를 보였다. 탄소섬유 복합재 휠은 5 J, 10 J의 충격 하중에서 전체 충격 에너지의 35.3, 19.1%가 리바운딩 되는 우수한 특성을 보였다. 반면에 20 J 이상의 충격하중에 대해서는 얇은 탄소섬유 복합재 허브의 크랙 생성으로 인해 전체 에너지의 5% 이하로 리바운드 되었다.
