Introduction UAEU Multi-terrain Vehicle The UAEU multi-terrain vehicle was designed to give information to geologists, experts and scientists in their areas.
UAEU Multi-terrain Vehicle Introduction • This vehicle can be used in hazard areas that humans can’t access like chemical pollution and military areas. • The vehicle can be controlled easily by using a computer.
UAEU Multi-terrain Vehicle Introduction
IntroductionObjectives • In order of priority, here were the objectives: • In this project we mainly focused on how to improve the UAEU multi-terrain vehicle. So we have made continual improvement on the drive system, power transmission system, the power source and the design of the vehicle.
IntroductionObjectives 2. link the academic study with the practical life
Introduction About the project The aim of the project is to modify the UAEU multi-terrain vehicle and to develop an improved and wireless version of the current product by using formal design. Slide 8
Review GPI Existing Design Interpretation Weakness Point
Existing Design Interpretation • Vehicle Assembly Flow Chart More Detail Components • How components • fitted together. Function Slide: 10
Weakness Point • At the end, we can classify the weakness point into four important points: • The wheel’s size • The weight of the chassis • The power source • Uses wired control
Design Analysis • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. • These analyses are used to understand and improve the mechanical performance of a design. • The improvements may include changing the dimension or changing the thickness of the material.
Design Analysis • The SolidWorks application is mechanical design automation software it is one of the best software programs help to know the distribution of the stress on the machines parts. • The analysis will include the stress von Mises and displacement analyses.
Design Analysis Step 1: Setting options Start the work by select the unit which will be apply for the analysis system. Step 2:Assigning Material COSMOSXpress assigns Alloy Aluminum to the part and the text "current material: Alloy Aluminum " appears in the screen.
Design Analysis Step 3: Applying Restraints Restraint tab: information on how the part is supported. Our vehicle is fixed on its two sides. Step 4: Applying Restraints Total Load = 81.91 N
Design Analysis Step 5: Analyzing the Model and Viewing Results: The minimum factor of safety of the model approximately as 3.924 which means that the model is not expected to fail under the specified loads and restraints.
Design Analysis Step 5: Analyzing the Model and Viewing Results: Yield Stress= 2.757 x 10^7 (N/m^2) Maximum Stress= 7.028 x10^6 (N/m^2)
Design Analysis Step 5: Analyzing the Model and Viewing Results: Displacement : 7.429 x10^-2 mm

Pro-Mechanica Structural Analysis is a multi-discipline Computer Aided Engineering(CAE) tool that analyzes the physical behavior of a model to betterunderstand and improve the mechanical performance of a design. It can be used to directly calculate stresses, deflections, thus to predictthe behavior of the design in the real world. Slide 39
