  • Analytic and numerical results of a disc cam bending with a Roller Follower
    SN Applied Sciences, 2020
    Co-Authors: Louay S. Yousuf, Dan B. Marghitu
    Abstract:

    The bending deflection of a disc cam with a Roller Follower was analyzed by using constant angular velocity of the cam. The objective of this paper was to study the effect of the contact load on the bending deflection of the cam profile. Numerical simulations were carried out using SolidWorks and ANSYS Ver. 19.2 package based on finite element analysis. SolidWorks was used to determine the dynamic response of the Follower, while the bending deflection of the cam profile has been investigated using ANSYS package. The modal and harmonic analyses were used to find the natural frequency and the dynamic response of the bending deflection. The theory of circular plate was applied to derive the analytic solution for the bending deflection. The experiment data has been collected with an infrared camera system. The dynamic response of the Follower, at the point of contact, was verified analytically and experimentally. The reduction rate for bending deflection is (73.425%) for path no. (1), (85.925%) for path no. (2), and (61.467%) for path no. (3). The harmonic amplitude peak of the point (18) on the nose (2) is bigger than the peak of the point (4) on the nose (1) because of large values for the radius of curvature of the nose (2).

  • Nonlinear Dynamics Behavior of a Pear Cam With Roller Follower Mechanism
    Volume 4: Dynamics Vibration and Control, 2019
    Co-Authors: Louay S. Yousuf, Dan B. Marghitu
    Abstract:

    Abstract A pear cam and Roller Follower system is studied for distinct values of cam rotational speeds. Different values of clearance (C = 1, 1.5, and 2 mm) are used. SolidWorks is used for the numerical analysis. The largest Lyapunov exponent was calculated for the mechanism and the non-periodic motion is analyzed for different clearances and angular speeds. The displacement of Follower motion is processed using OPTOTRAK / 3020 with a 3-D infrared sensor experimentally. The system with clearance C = 2 mm has largest value of (LLE) at N = 400 rpm, while the lowest value of (LLE) is at N = 100 rpm at the same value of angular speed.

  • Computerized tolerance analysis of disk cam mechanisms with a Roller Follower
    Springer Verlag, 2010
    Co-Authors: Chang Wen-tung
    Abstract:

    [[abstract]]The tolerance analysis is one of the key elements of design and manufacturing of cam mechanisms. This paper presents a computerized method for analyzing the tolerances in disk cam mechanisms with a Roller Follower. By employing the concept of simulated higher-pair contact analysis, the kinematic deviation of the Follower motion arising from the tolerance amount of each design parameter can be determined numerically. The offset translating Roller Follower and the oscillating Roller Follower cases are given to illustrate the proposed method. The tolerance analysis results show that, owing to the combined effects of various design parameters, the position accuracy of the Follower motion may degrade considerably. But, the tolerance amounts of the design parameters may also have a compensating effect to enhance the relative accuracy of the Follower motion between its high and low dwell positions. Hence, it is possible to find the optimal tolerance combination for balancing the kinematic accuracy and the tolerance amounts of disk cam mechanisms with a Roller Follower.[[fileno]]2020209010025[[department]]動機

  • Inspecting profile deviations of conjugate disk cams by a rapid indirect method
    Elsevier, 2010
    Co-Authors: Chang Wen-tung
    Abstract:

    [[abstract]]A rapid indirect method for inspecting profile deviations of conjugate disk cams is proposed. For a conjugate cam mechanism with an oscillating Roller Follower, if the center distance between the cam and the Follower pivots is changed to be variable, when the cams rotate, the variation of the center distance may indicate the profile errors. Equations relating the center distance variation with the cam profile errors are derived. The method was verified by actually measuring a pair of conjugate cams. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

  • lubrication and frictional analysis of cam Roller Follower mechanisms
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Shivam S. Alakhramsing, M.b. De Rooij, Dirk J. Schipper, M. Van Drogen
    Abstract:

    In this work, a full numerical solution to the cam–Roller Follower-lubricated contact is provided. The general framework of this model is based on a model describing the kinematics, a finite length line contact isothermal-EHL model for the cam–Roller contact and a semi-analytical lubrication model for the Roller–pin bearing. These models are interlinked via an improved Roller–pin friction model. For the numerical study, a cam–Roller Follower pair, as part of the fuel injection system in Diesel engines, was analyzed. The results, including the evolution of power losses, minimum film thickness and maximum pressures, are compared with analytical solutions corresponding to infinite line contact models. The main findings of this work are that for accurate prediction of crucial performance indicators such as minimum film thickness, maximum pressure and power losses a finite length line contact analysis is necessary due to non-typical EHL characteristics of the pressure and film thickness distributions.

  • Towards a fundamental understanding of the tribological behaviour of cam-Roller Follower contacts
    1
    Co-Authors: Shivam S. Alakhramsing
    Abstract:

    Cam-Roller Followers are part of the valve train mechanisms found in internal combustion engines. Valve train friction losses may contribute up to 10% of the total engine friction losses. The lubricated cam-Roller Follower unit consists of two lubricated contacts, namely the cam-Roller contact and Roller-pin contact. While the former is a non-conformal contact, the latter is a conformal contact. The traction induced by the cam-Roller contact drives the Roller. It is important to study friction between the cam and Roller as it influences the engine efficiency and the onset of wear – and thus ultimately lifetime – of components. Understanding lubrication conditions in the cam-Roller contact is complicated due to transient variations of the geometry, force and friction in the Roller-pin contact. A very important variable, affecting the cam-Roller lubrication performance, is the frictional force (which resists the motion of the Roller) at the Roller-pin contact. The lubricated cam-Roller contact studied in this thesis is highly loaded with contact forces up to 16 kN. Important lubrication performance indicators of the cam-Roller contact are the pressure, film thickness and frictional force. This thesis focuses on the factors influencing the aforementioned lubrication performance indicators. Relying on the aforementioned, the factors studied in this work are: •The influence of axial shape of the Roller: The axial shape of the Roller and its influence on the generated film thickness, pressure and friction in the cam-Roller contact. This was done by means of a smooth surface finite element method (FEM)-based finite line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model. The model shows the effects of parameters describing the axial shape of the Roller, velocity, load and material properties on the lubrication performance indicators. •The influence of elastic deformation in the Roller-pin contact: In order to better quantify the friction, film thickness and pressure in the Roller-pin contact a similar smooth surface FEM-based EHL model was developed for the Roller-pin contact. The model demonstrates the importance of allowing for elastic deformation of the conformal Roller-pin contact and its effect on film thickness, pressure and friction coefficient. •The influence of Roller-pin contact friction in the high slide-to-roll ratio (SRR) domain of the cam-Roller contact: At increasing levels of friction in the Roller-pin contact the amount of sliding at the cam-Roller contact increases, in turn affecting the film thickness, pressure and cam-Roller contact friction coefficient. In order to analyse the effects of higher values of Roller-pin friction coefficient on the cam-Roller lubrication performance, an infinite line contact mixed-thermo-elastohydrodynamic (TEHL) model was developed for the cam-Roller contact. The mixed-lubrication model is based on the load-sharing concept and uses real surface roughness measurement data as input. The complete model is based on a smooth surface FEM-based EHL line contact model and a boundary element method (BEM)-based dry rough normal contact solver. The model exposes the influence of Roller-pin friction coefficient on non-Newtonian, thermal and surface roughness effects in the cam-Roller contact. •The influence of Roller-pin contact friction in the low SRR domain of the cam-Roller contact: In order to improve mixed friction predictions under low sliding velocities, the dependence of boundary layer friction on sliding velocity was incorporated into the previously developed infinite line contact mixed lubrication model. This was done by means of a BEM-based dry rough tangential contact solver which was added to the previously developed model. The model shows how the shear stress-slip relationship influences the macroscopic frictional force in the cam-Roller contact, under low sliding velocity operating conditions.
