Design and Simulation of Automotive Seat Height Adjuster Driving Mechanism Based on Multi-Body Dynamics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents a technique to simulate driving mechanism in automotive seat height adjuster. Simulation is done using multi-body dynamic software ADAMS. The exercise included development of an accurate model using design tool. The design model is then converted to simulation tool. Selected operating force is applied and simulated. The area of focus is forces between two gear meshing parts. Simulation result is then compared with analytical calculation. Validation is also made for the considered factor of safety.
