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
