Kinematics analysis and optimisation of drives
Institute for Mechatronic Systemes in Mechanical Engineering
Masterthesis
At VIAME, we are developing new concepts for lightweight design in several sectors (transportation, energy, machining,…). This research project will focus on detailed analysis drives and their influential design and operating parameters. Various optimisation strategies, including tooth profile modifications and bearing conceptions, should be comprehensively evaluation together with developed lightweight concept. To this end, detailed FEM and dynamic modelling will be achieved. The complexity of modelling will lead to a metamodeling stage, in order to deal with different uncertainty sources. The final goal will be on the minimization of cycloid drive mass and backlash effects while maximizing the transmission efficiency and precision. The thesis will be performed remotely at Ecole Central de Lyon, France.
