Design of full electric power steering with enhanced performance over that of hydraulic power-assisted steering

Baharom, Masri B., Hussain, Khalid, Day, Andrew J. January 2013 (has links)
No / This paper presents a method of designing a full electrical power steering system to replace a hydraulic power-assisted steering system with improved performance and benefits including energy saving, improved steering 'feel', simpler construction and environmental gain. The designed performance of the electrical power steering system represented an ideal hydraulic power-assisted steering power boost curve which was mathematically modelled to provide the required control characteristic for the electrical power steering system, including variation in the perceived power assistance with the vehicle's forward speed. A full electrical power steering system provides all the torque necessary to steer the wheels, and the steering feel is artificially generated by an electric 'feedback' motor which provides resistance to the driver's input. The performance of the electrical power steering system described in this paper was enhanced by manipulating the reactive torque to the driver's input at the steering wheel so that it depended upon the driving conditions. Full-vehicle software models were generated using ADAMS/car software based on an actual car fitted with hydraulic power-assisted steering and full electrical power steering. The simulation results from both models were compared, and it is concluded that the steering performances of both systems were similar but the steering feel of the full electrical power steering system could be tuned to provide improved feedback to the driver in use. The performance of the full electrical power steering system could be further improved with the introduction of a controller to manipulate the steering feel during undesired conditions.

Analysis of the properties of a steering shaft used as a back-up for a steer-by-wire system during system failure

Hussain, Khalid, Baharom, Masri B., Day, Andrew J. January 2009 (has links)
Yes / An analysis is presented to determine the best selection criteria for the properties of a steering shaft to be used as a back-up apparatus for a steer-by-wire (SBW) system during system failure. The properties of interest are the steering-shaft stiffness and its damping coefficient. A mathematical model representing the failed state of an SBW system is derived, and a set of experiments to validate the model is presented. Once the model had been validated, further predictions of the car¿s handling behaviour for a range of steering-shaft properties and different road speeds were completed by simulations in MATLAB/Simulink. A minimum stiffness which did not cause the car to become unstable owing to overshoot was determined, and the minimum acceptable damping coefficient value was derived. It is concluded that the suggested stiffness and damping coefficient values increased the steering ratio, and the results of further investigations are presented, which confirm that the vehicle is safe to be driven in the event of SBW system failure if the recommended shaft properties are used.

Návrh algoritmu redukce síly na řídící ploše letadla / Algorithm for Reduction of Force Fight on Airplane Control Surface

Szásziová, Lenka January 2011 (has links)
Digitální Fly-by-Wire systém je novým přístupem k řídícímu systému letadla, na jehož základě firma Honeywell - HTS CZ začala výzkumný projekt s názvem “Next Generation Distributed Fly-by-Wire System” a tato práce je jeho součástí. Řídící plochy letadla jsou řízeny dvěma nebo třemi elektrohydraulickými (či elektrickými) servy a každé servo je ovládáno nezávislou řídící jednotkou. Díky provozním tolerancím systému a drobným odchylkám vstupních dat v řídících jednotkách, dostává každé servo mírně odlišné povely a rozdíl v poloze serv vede k namáhání řídící plochy i k namáhání serv. Hlavním cílem této práce je navrhnout algoritmus, který bude eliminovat rozdíly mezi polohami jednotlivých serv, a tudíž sníží sílu, která namáhá řídící plochu, na přípustnou mez. Implementace řídícího systému letadla byla do detailu analyzována a algoritmus redukce síly na kontrolní ploše letadla byl navržen a implementován v prostředí Simulink. Iterační kriteriální ladící metoda byla vyvinuta a za účelem co nejlepšího nastavení algoritmu redukce síly. Práce také analyzuje vliv časových zpoždení na sběrnici na kvalitu algoritmu redukce síly.
