Description
Summary:This work deals with the optimal kinematic design of the guiding mechanism used for the rear axle of a motor vehicle. A guiding mechanism of type 2S1C (S - sphere, C - circle) is taken into consideration, the optimization study being conducted by using the multi-body systems (MBS) software environment ADAMS of MSC. The global cartesian coordinates of some design points (the locations of the joints between the guiding arms and car body) are used as independent design variables for the optimization study. The main design objectives refer to the longitudinal displacement of the axle and its proper rotation (around the transversal axis), the kinematic optimization goal being to minimize these variations.
