Design Evolution of Drive Booster Configuration for Terrain Vehicles
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents the design evolution of drive booster configuration for terrain vehicle to manoeuvre over the roads covered with mud or snow. The proposed design of booster consisted small number of parts whose sizing is accomplished through design calculations. The intended system will take power from engine to do so but in petite proportion. The booster increases the moment of inertia through increment in angular speed of terrain vehicle. Structural design adequacy is assessed using ANSYS commercial finite element analysis software. Available safety margin is extracted through static analysis. The severance of first natural frequency of the intended booster system is ascertained from that of engine by carrying out modal analysis.
