Abstract

This paper presents the dynamic analysis method for estimating the performance of flat-type blades in wiper systems. The blade has nonlinear characteristics since the rubber is a hyper-elastic material. Thus, modal coordinate and absolute nodal coordinate formulations were used to describe the dynamic characteristic of the blade. The blade was structurally analyzed to find the bending characteristics of the cross section of the blade. According to the analysis results, the blade section is divided into three deformation bodies: rigid, small, and large. For the small deformation body, the modal coordinate formulation is used, while the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is used for the large deformation body. To verify the dynamic analysis result, an experiment was performed. The simulation and experiment results were compared to verify the flexible multi-body dynamic model.

본 논문에서는 플랫 타입 블레이드를 장착한 와이퍼 시스템의 성능을 예측하기 위한 동역학 해석방법을 제시하였다. 고무 재질로 이루어진 블레이드는 비선형의 특성을 갖기 때문에, 블레이드의 동적특성을 나타내기 위하여 모달 좌표계와 절대 절점 좌표계를 이용하였다. 블레이드 단면의 굽힘 특성을 파악하기 위해 블레이드에 대한 구조 해석을 실시하였다. 해석 결과에 따라 블레이드 단면을 강체, 유연체 및 대변형체의 3 부분으로 구분하였다. 모달 좌표계와 절대 절점 좌표계를 이용하여 블레이드 단면의 유연체 및 대변형체를 표현하였다. 동역학 해석 결과를 검증하기 위해 실험을 실시하였고, 결과 비교를 통해 본 연구에서 생성한 블레이드에 대한 유연 다물체 모델의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.
