Re-design of Car Jack Mechanism 

MIE301 Kinematics & Dynamics of Machines
  • Analyzed the existing scissor jack mechanism such that the problem of inconsistent input force is explained

  • Proposed a new design solution incorporating two sets of gear trains, demonstrated using Solidworks model, which requires consistent input force and outputs uniform upward motion with shorter deployment time 

  • Performed kinematic analysis using MATLAB for both designs by measuring against objectives and constraints (deployment time, displacement, trajectory, and input force requirement)

  • Achieved a score of 100% for the design project final report
