Prof. Hong-Sen Yan 1. Conceptual Design of Fixed Center Steering Wheels This work searches and analyzes related patents of fixed center steering wheels, reviews their development from patents and history of automobiles, and classifies their designs by its topological characteristics. This work provides graphic and notation representation proposed by this work, and proposes advanced joint representations of gears and cams to show the results. Moreover, this work concludes related design requirements and constraints based on the classifications of fixed center steering wheels, and utilized a systematical methodology of creative mechanisms design to generate 31 new design concepts. Based on setting related standards, the best design is evaluated. Finally, according to the design procedure for configuration synthesis of mechanisms with variable chains, this work also proposes the design procedure and principles of mechanical devices with changeable modes. By the proposed procedure and principles, 3 additional changeable modes of fixed center steering wheels are designed.
Prof. Hong-Sen Yan 1. Conceptual Design of Fixed Center Steering Wheels • 31 new design concepts • Better safety and convenient • Changeable modes • 3 Taiwan patents I363015 I385090 I390128
Prof. Hong-Sen Yan 2. Configuration Design of New Transmission Systems for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) The purpose of this work is to develop a systematic design process for synthesizing feasible configurations of hybrid transmissions, subject to design constrains and desired operation modes. HEVs are classified into three main types: series hybrid, parallel hybrid, and series-parallel. Since the series hybrid is not suitable for using in passenger cars due to its restrictions and disadvantages, the systematic design process is developed for configuration designs of the series-parallel and the parallel hybrid transmissions.
