Abstract:

The article is devoted to the problems of simulation of the working process of a truck-mounted crane using modern computer-aided design systems and applications for engineering calculations. Currently, analytical methods are mainly used to model the operation of manipulator technology, such as “manual” compilation and solution of Lagrange equations of the second order, or even simpler evaluative calculations based only on basic concepts of theoretical mechanics. However, such objects consist of many parts that are in a complex rotational motion and contact interaction with each other. If such complex systems are modeled by the indicated analytical methods, one has to introduce a number of assumptions that greatly simplify the mathematical model. The level of its adequacy is low. Also recently, numerical methods for modeling mechanisms that are implemented through programming languages by using a detailed description of the process under study are often used abroad. An alternative to these methods is the use of computer-aided design systems in which numerical methods are built-in at the core level of the program and require setting the basic geometric, dynamic and kinematic parameters of the mechanism and the environment, after which they can calculate the functioning parameters of the object under study. The process of creating a simulation model of a truck mounted crane, which is an analogue of an existing laboratory setup, has been considered. To do this, a 3D model of the manipulator in the SolidWorks CAD environment has been developed. The creation technique and the main features of the obtained simulation model have been described

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the relationship between service quality, customer satisfaction and the loyalty of car owners. The aim is to understand the relative importance of the various service quality dimensions to Ghanaian car owners as to what drive satisfaction and whether this satisfaction has implication on their loyalty. Design/methodology/approach The study used a survey of car owners and relied on partial least squares-structural equation modeling to study the relationship between service quality and its impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Further moderation analysis based on the number of years of dealing with the mechanic was conducted. Findings The result indicates empathy, assurance, responsiveness and tangibles have a significant positive relationship with customer satisfactions. However, the reliability of the mechanic has no significant positive relationship with the satisfaction of customers. The results also indicate that customer satisfaction has a direct positive relationship with customer loyalty. The results further indicate that empathy and reliability of the mechanic have a significant positive relationship with customer loyalty; however, the assurance, responsiveness and tangibles have no significant relationship with customer loyalty. The moderation analysis indicated no significant differences in the hypothesis tested and the length of years of customers dealing with the mechanic. Research limitations/implications There is the need for mechanics to provide caring and individual attention to car owners, it is also important for mechanics to understand that customers want their cars to be serviced by mechanics who exhibit knowledge and courtesy and also deliver service in a very responsive manner. The appearance of the workshop, equipment and directions are also very important to customers. It is, therefore, important for mechanics do their best to satisfy these customers for them to remain loyal. Practical implications The findings indicate the importance of empathy, assurance, responsive and tangibles in mechanic service delivery. It is, therefore, important for mechanics to consistently provide personal attention, attend to customers in a friendly manner, deliver cars after services, provide information to customers when extra repairs are required and should take the time to explain issues to customers. In addition, it is important for mechanics to screen and employ very courteous employees who can tell customers exactly the kind of services needed as well as communicate effectively on the risks of repairs. Prompt services also seem to be the key to the satisfaction of customers. Originality/value The work illustrates and provides some insights and builds on the literature in the area of service quality, customer satisfaction and loyalty from a developing country’s environment. This is one of the few research works investigating the issue of service quality, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in automobile services using data from the sub-Saharan African environment.

ABSTRACT DESIGN OF A MECHANISM FOR OPENING HACTHBACK CAR BAGGAGE DOOR Duran, Yusuf M.S., Department of Mechanical Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Eres Sö
ylemez September 2009, 65 Pages In this thesis, a new mechanism design for opening hatchback-car baggage door is introduced. Unlike the classical hinged doors used, this new design will include a mechanism so that the door will be opened vertically and thus occupy less space behind the car during the opening. In this fashion even the hatchback doors of closely parked cars may be opened. First, considering type synthesis, different mechanism types are investigated. In dimensional synthesis, with the help of Burmester theory, motion generation is applied. Using the circle and center point curves, considering link dimensions, transmission angle characteristics, branching and some order issues possible solutions that satisfy the position requirements are found. To actuate the mechanism, an appropriate gas-spring is sought. As a case study a prototype is manufactured and mounted on a sample hatchback car to check the mechanism performance.

Abstract:

This projects aims to develop design automation in product development. Design automation causes increase in producibility and decrease in product cost and manufacturing lead time. The study at hand is proposed to provide a new method and to introduce procedure to the design of wiring pattern for a car seat heater for Kongsberg Automotive, KA. KA is a Norwegian company and a global provider of engineering, design, and manufacture for seat comfort, driver and motion control systems, fluid assemblies, and industrial driver interface products. The method that currently is used in the company to create a wiring pattern is neither sufficient enough nor automated. In order to design the wiring pattern, at first procedure is handled by the designer. Secondly, car seat heater 2D layout is imported and then, the dimensions of the elements are defined as constraints. Then VBA codes are opened and the program is run. The result will be a wiring pattern in different 2D layouts. To make the design process easier, we have modeled five different layouts; wiring pattern of one element, two elements, three elements, five elements (with two back sides) and one element trapezoidal 2D layout. The algorithm written in VBA (Visual basic for application) creates the pattern according to the dimensions of the elements which are used as inputs to define constrained parameters. The created macros are simple to use and easy to modify, independent from the programming knowledge. The user is only responsible with parameter input and running the program. The solution gives wiring pattern for a car seat heater.

Abstract:

The wPCC project (wind powered car carrier) is carried out by Wallenius Marine, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SSPA Sweden. By developing a car carrier mainly propelled by the wind, the emissions are estimated to be reduced by up to 90 %. This thesis deals with the structural aspects of the design. Specifically, the interface between the sail rigs and hull is considered. Different rig foundation concepts should be developed and compared to each other. The objective is to focus on characteristics such as stress levels, relevant failure mechanisms and cargo capacity. Scantling of merchant vessels is to a large extent governed by rules issued by classification societies such as DNV-GL and Lloyd’s Register. While traditional car carriers are covered to a great extent in terms of scantling loads and structural requirements, there exists a regulatory gap for vessels powered by the wind. Four different concepts for the rig foundations are developed. They are all using transverse and longitudinal bulkheads for transferring loads from the rigs to adjacent hull structure. The foundation concepts are then evaluated by creating a finite element model representing the midship section of the ship. The model includes three rig foundations and generally follows the preliminary scantlings of the wPCC. For reference, a model without rigs is also created. The bow and stern of the vessel are excluded in the model and some other model simplifications are also made. The accuracy of stress levels is thus not sufficient for final sizing of the conceptual solutions but the qualitative differences should be valid. The focus of the study is thus how the four concepts compare with respect to each other. The main strength of the chosen approach is that it allows for comparison of multiple concepts. Had a more advanced approach been chosen, the results would likely prove to be of a higher accuracy but then at the expense of modeling effort and time. The transverse strength is deemed being critical for multiple deck car carriers such as the wPCC. Racking, the transverse shearing of the ship, is a common problem which is covered in detail by class guidelines. These loads, based on rule calculations, are therefore included in the analysis. The rig loads are in turn based on assumptions regarding parameters such as the wing geometry and rig weight. The results of the finite element models are evaluated at several critical areas, chosen as to represent different aspects of the structural response. Results from buckling analyses as well as characteristics such as cargo capacity are also recorded as to broaden the comparison. The different results represent criteria which the evaluation process is based on. Each criterion is given a weight to account for its importance. The Pugh method is then applied, yielding a score for each of the evaluated concepts. The total score consequently depends on the chosen weights. Regardless, the study clearly presents which concepts that are interesting and which should be discarded. Interestingly, the best performing concept turns out to be highly unconventional compared to supporting structures used in traditional shipbuilding. For the future, the rig loads as well as additional load cases should be addressed. Failure mechanisms such as fatigue will likely pose a problem, and at some stage a thorough, full scale finite element model should be created in order to accurately predict the response of the entire hull structure. However, the author believes that the presented study serves as a draft in identifying key aspects to consider when introducing wind propulsion in commercial shipping.
wPCC-projektet (wind powered car carrier) bedrivs gemensamt av Wallenius Marine, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan och SSPA Sweden. Genom att utveckla ett vinddrivet biltransportfartyg beräknas utsläppen minska med upp till 90 %. Detta examensarbete avhandlar delar av fartygsstrukturen med fokus på hållfasthet. Mer specifikt undersöks gränssnittet mellan segelriggarna och skrovet. Olika koncept för riggfundament utvecklas och jämförs med fokus på karaktäristika så som spänningar, brottmekanismer och lastkapacitet. Dimensionering av kommersiella fartyg styrs till stor del av regler utfärdade av klassällskap som DNV-GL och Lloyd’s Register. Medan traditionella biltransportfartyg omfattas av ett antal krav på dimensionerande laster och strukturkrav saknas det ordentliga regelverk för vinddrivna fartyg. Fyra olika koncept för riggfundamenten utvecklas. Samtliga använder sig av transversella och longitudinella skott för lastöverföring från riggarna till omgivande skrovstruktur. Koncepten utvärderas sedan genom att skapa en finita element-modell som representerar midskeppssektionen av fartyget. Modellen inkluderar tre riggfundament och följer till stor del preliminära ritningar av wPCC-fartyget. Som referens skapas även en modell utan riggar. Fören och aktern exkluderas i modellen utöver ett antal andra förenklingar. Precisionen på spänningsnivåer är därmed inte tillräcklig för att bestämma slutgiltiga dimensioner på koncepten men de kvalitativa skillnaderna koncepten emellan bör vara välgrundade. Studiens fokus är därför hur de fyra koncepten jämförs mot varandra. Den främsta fördelen med det valda tillvägagångssättet är att det möjliggör jämförandet av flera koncept. Om ett mer avancerat tillvägagångssätt använts skulle sannolikt resultaten vara mer precisa, men då till en högre kostnad i form av modelleringsarbete och tidsåtgång. Tvärskeppsstyrkan bedöms vara kritisk för biltransportfartyg med flera däck som wPCC-fartyget. Så kallad racking, transversell skjuvning av fartyget, är ett vanligt problem som avhandlas i detalj av klassregler. Rackinglaster baserade på klassregler inkluderas därför i analysen. Rigglasterna är i sin tur baserade på antaganden om parametrar som vinggeometri och riggvikt. Resultaten från finita element-modellerna utvärderas vid ett flertal kritiska områden valda för att representera olika aspekter av hur strukturen svarar på belastningarna. Resultat från bucklingsanalyser såväl som karaktäristika så som lastförmåga inkluderas också för att bredda jämförelserna. De olika resultaten representerar kriterier som utvärderingsprocessen baseras på. Varje kriterium ges en vikt för att ta hänsyn till dess betydelse. Pugh-metoden används sedan, vilket ger en poängsumma för varje koncept. Varje poängsumma beror därmed på valda vikter. Oavsett visar studien tydligt vilka koncept som är av intresse och vilka som kan förkastas. Intressant nog visar studien att konceptet med högst poäng är högst okonventionellt jämfört med bärande strukturer som används inom traditionell skeppsbyggnad. Inför framtiden bör riggbelastningarna såväl som ytterligare lastfall beaktas. Brottmekanismer som utmattning kommer sannolikt att utgöra problem och vid något tillfälle bör en stor, fullskalig finita element-modell skapas för att med högre precision förutse hur hela skrovstrukturen svarar på belastningarna. Författaren bedömer oavsett att denna studie fungerar som ett utkast till att identifiera nyckelaspekter vid introduktion av vind som framdrivning för kommersiell sjöfart.

Abstract:

Both Ca2+ entry and shear stress sensation of vascular cells play important roles not only in vascular physiology, but also pathology. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of these processes could greatly help the therapeutic strategies to treat vascular diseases like atherosclerosis. The overall aim of this research was to develop a better understanding of molecular mechanisms of Ca2+ entry and shear stress sensation in the vasculature. Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) proteins assemble to form channels for calcium and sodium ion entry. TRPC5 readily forms functional homomers, whereas TRPC1 forms functional heteromers with TRPC5 but has weak or no channel function on its own. In this study, impact of cholesterol on these proteins was investigated, because it is an important membrane constituent and driver of cardiovascular and other diseases. I found that TRPC5-mediated calcium entry is suppressed by cholesterol due to internalization of TRPC5 via the caveolin-1-dependent retraction mechanism but that TRPC1 prevents the internalization by heteromerising with TRPC5 and causing segregation to a membrane raft rich in GM1 ganglioside and dissociated from caveolin-1. Endogenous TRPC5 containing channels of vascular smooth muscle cells are stimulated by exogenous GM1 gangliosides and resistant to inhibition by cholesterol. The data suggest that a previously unrecognized purpose of incorporating a subunit in a heteromer is to segregate the protein complex to a membrane raft that is protected against cholesterolevoked internalization. Force sensors used by endothelial cells to detect fluid shear stress are pivotal in vascular physiology and disease but there is lack of clarity about their identity. Here I show that a recently-discovered calcium-permeable channel formed by Piezo1 is important in sensing physiological shear stress and in driving a key downstream functional event. Calcium influx evoked by physiological shear stress depended on endogenous Piezo1. Exogenous Piezo1 confers sensitivity to shear stress on otherwise resistant cells. Real-time subcellular tracking studies showed accumulation of Piezo1 at the endothelial cell leading edge. Depletion of endogenous Piezo1 prevented endothelial cell alignment to shear stress. Calpain activation and focal adhesion is the mechanism of Piezo1-dependent alignment of endothelial cells to shear stress. Piezo1 also crosstalks with CD31, which is a component of a known shear stress sensory complex. The data suggest that Piezo1 has the dual function of sensing physiological shear stress and driving downstream endothelial cell alignment through calcium ion entry and a calpain-focal adhesion mechanism. Alignment of endothelial cells has major roles in physiology and various disease processes which include protection against atherosclerosis. In summary, this research has generated new knowledge and hypotheses about molecular mechanism of Ca2+ entry and mechanical sensation of vascular cells under physiological and pathological conditions, which may help generate new strategies to treat cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract:

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the flexural strength (σf), flexural modulus (Ef) and fracture toughness (KIC) of two new commercially available nano-ceramic resin composite CAD/CAM blocks (Lava Ultimate and Enamic) and compare them to those of a widely-used ceramic CAD/CAM block (IPS e.max), that served as a control, in order to evaluate the clinical suitability of the former. Materials and Methods: Fifty bars of Lava Ultimate and Enamic and twenty-five bars of e.max were made for three-point bending testing (to determine σf and Ef). Testing was completed on an Instron machine whereby a force was applied at a constant crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until failure occurred. Twenty-four 6x6x6x12 mm equilateral triangular prisms were fabricated from Lava Ultimate and Enamic and twelve from e.max for fracture toughness (KIC) testing using the notchless triangular prism specimen (NTP) KIC test. Half of the prepared Lava Ultimate and Enamic samples were stored in 37°C water for 30 days prior to testing, to analyze the aging effect. Weibull statistics were used to evaluate the characteristic strength and the reliability of each material. Two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Scheffé comparisons were used to further analyze the results. Results: The σf, Ef and KIC of Lava Ultimate and Enamic were considerably lower than that of IPS e.max. Aging of Lava Ultimate and Enamic lowered the σf by 27 % and 12 % but increased the KIC by 10 % and 40 %, respectively. Aging also significantly lowered Ef of both samples. The σf of Enamic was statistically significantly lower than that of Lava Ultimate, while the Ef of Enamic was statistically significantly higher. Only in the aged samples were significant differences between KIC detected. Conclusion: When compared to conventional resin composites, the presence of ceramic nano-particles in Lava Ultimate and Enamic did not greatly improve σf or KIC of these materials. The flexural modulus of Enamic was greatly improved to levels not seen before in dental resin composites. Based on the mechanical testing results obtained in this study, their consideration and clinical use should be similar to that of conventional dental resin composites.

Abstract:

As part of an inspection, bridge inspectors assign condition ratings to the main components of a bridge’s structural system and identify any defects that they observe. Condition ratings are necessarily somewhat subjective, as they are influenced by the experience of the inspectors. In the current work, procedures were developed for making inferences on the reliability of reinforced concrete girders with defects at both the cross section and the girder level. The Bayesian network (BN) tools constructed in this work use simple structural m echanics to model the capacity of girders. By using expert elicitation, defects observed during inspection are correlated with underlying deterioration mechanisms. By linking these deterioration mechanisms with reductions in mechanical properties, inferences on the reliability of a bridge can be made based on visual observation of defects. With more development, this BN tool can be used to compare conditions of bridges relative to one another and aid in the prioritization of repairs. However, an extensive survey of bridges affected by deterioration mechanisms is needed to confidently establish valid relationships between deterioration severity and mechanical properties.

Full text

Abstract:

Purpose – The rostrum of a paddlefish provides hydrodynamic stability during feeding process in addition to detect the food using receptors that are randomly distributed in the rostrum. The exterior tissue of the rostrum covers the cartilage that surrounds the bones forming interlocking star shaped bones. Design/methodology/approach – The aim of this work is to assess the mechanical behavior of four finite element models varying the type of formulation as follows: linear-reduced integration, linear-full integration, quadratic-reduced integration and quadratic-full integration. Also presented is the load transfer mechanisms of the bone structure of the rostrum. Findings – Conclusions are based on comparison among the four models. There is no significant difference between integration orders for similar type of elements. Quadratic-reduced integration formulation resulted in lower structural stiffness compared with linear formulation as seen by higher displacements and stresses than using linearly formulated elements. It is concluded that second-order elements with reduced integration and can model accurately stress concentrations and distributions without over stiffening their general response. Originality/value – The use of advanced computational mechanics techniques to analyze the complex geometry and components of the paddlefish rostrum provides a viable avenue to gain fundamental understanding of the proper finite element formulation needed to successfully obtain the system behavior and hot spot locations.
