Wear-Life Analysis and Optimization of a Typical Folding Mechanism

Abstract:

A method of modeling and kinematics simulating of a typical flexible folding mechanism in multi-software platform was proposed in this paper, which aimed at its complex nonlinear dynamic characters. Based on this method, parameterized modeling and kinematics simulation of a typical folding mechanism was put forward firstly, and then the reliability analysis and wear lifetime analysis of folding mechanism were studied through different reliability analysis methods. Finally, the wear life of such folding mechanism was optimized. The optimization results showed that the Maximum stress level was decreased and the wear life was increased significantly.
