Design and Failure Analysis of Track Tensioner Unit for Mobile Robot Using Solidworks

Abstract:

The designer should be familiar with the acceptable dimensions and material for model, which fulfils its performance requirements under stress and deformation. In this paper the design and failure analysis of track tensioner unit (TTU) of hybrid locomotion mobile robot is presented. The TTU is a module that helps the locomotion system transformability while robot moves on wheel or track mechanism. It is made of Aluminium alloy Al6061-T6 and was analyzed for its mechanical behaviour that subjected under different load conditions. The failure analysis gave the results about the material behaviour under loading condition that helps the selection of suitable one for design. The simulation result shows that the model material fails or deform permanently under 1000N load.
