Planetary Rover Wheel and Lower Leg Structural Design to Reduce Rock Entanglements

Lawton, Natalie January 2020 (has links)
This thesis looks at the SherpaTT planetary rover. The rover is a hybrid walking and driving rover that has been developed and built by DFKI and has already been deployed on several Mars analogue field studies. The SherpaTT rover wheels were found to become entangled in rocks during the last field deployment in Morocco. As human intervention would be impossible on Mars the aim is to reduce the possibility of rock entanglements by performing a mechanical redesign of the wheels. During this redesign care is taken to ensure the current traction, slip-resistance, weight and strength are not adversely affected. In addition, the durability of the wheels is investigated in terms of materials to review whether the current wheels are suitable for a mars deployment. An investigation into the grousers design results in a changed design that aims to both reduce rock entanglements and increase wheel performance by optimising the grouser height and number over several different wheel and terrain cases. Wheels are produced for four scenarios, a rigid wheel on hard ground, a rigid wheel on soft ground, a flexible wheel on hard ground and a flexible wheel on soft ground. A conceptual investigation into the wheel fork design is carried out to examine the effects of changing three properties of the wheel fork. The magnitude and location of the stress is compared for each. Materials are investigated resulting in the recommendation of several potential material choices which provide an increase in the overall strength and hardness. While SherpaTT is still in development the 6000 class of aluminium is recommended due to the relative ease with which it can be worked with. Once SherpaTT moves onto the final stages it is recommended that at least the grousers are made from the 7000 class of aluminium, which have higher levels of strength and hardness.

LOCALIZED FLOW MODIFICATION TO INCREASE POWER CAPTURE OF A SMALL-SCALE FLOATING UNDERSHOT WATERWHEEL

Unknown Date (has links)
The goal of the work described in this thesis is to design a flow augmentation device to increase the power capture and efficiency of a small-scale floating Under-Shot Water Wheel (USWW) currently being developed by Florida Atlantic University research funded by the U.S Department of Energy. The flow concentrator subsystem is intended to maximize the kinetic energy extracted by the marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy collection device through modification of the local flow field across the capture plane. The primary objective is to increase the velocity and/or rate of mass inflow through the turbine through inserting a streamlined body in the region of interest. By utilizing the resulting flow field to increase hydraulic forcing on the waterwheel blades, the torque and/or RPM of the USWW can be increased. Based on experimental testing in the FAU wave tank at 1:5 prototype scale (280 mm wheel diameter) the flow concentrator was shown to produce an increase in device power coefficient of 17-55% measured over a velocity range of 0.16-0.45 m/s. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Correlation between Fatigae of Automotive Wheel Centre - Discs and Hour-glass Laboratory Specimen

McGrath, PJ, Hattingh, DG, James, MN 29 December 2009 (has links)
Fatigue testing of complete automotive wheels is carried out on rotary bendmachines. These commercial mac hin e s s imulnt e h ar d - c o rn e rin g c o n ditio n s an d mainly testthefatigue performance of the central section of an automotive wheel' . This paper develops a relationship for predicting the fatigue performance of the wheel,based onfatigue tests of hourglass specimens machinedfrom centre discs. This is more economical of material and, in principle, also allows the effect on fatigue performance of change inproduction parameters or starting alloy to be assess ed, by c o n sid e rin g a limit e d numb e r of w h e e I blanks take n from each stage of the production process.

Measuring cost effectiveness of product wheels in food manufacturing

Jensen, Emilie January 1900 (has links)
Master of Agribusiness / Department of Agricultural Economics / Keith Harris / The focus of this research is to create a production schedule that will increase capacity while staying within business constraints of shelf life and warehouse space in a industrial food processing environment. The results support that product wheels maximize process responsiveness by lengthening production runs, and increasing safety stock inventory. In doing so, it maintains acceptable customer service levels and minimizes overtime costs. This study develops a model that simulates the relevant variables impacting the performance of the operation. The results show significant cost reductions are achieved by eliminating changeovers, increasing line capacity, safety stock levels protect against 99% of order variation, and warehouse space is available to house increased cycle stock and safety stock. Given the results on this line, I recommend expanding the model to other food processing locations within the business to further increase capacity and decrease overtime expenses.
