Modeling Mechanical Systems using Virtual Test Bed
Mechanical Modeling in VTB
VTB can be used to model mechanical systems. Equivalent electro-mechanical systems both linear and rotational can be described using VTB s across and through variables.
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Valve Train Modeling using VTB
A new camless engine is being design in conjunction with AARG, Siemens, and Honda.
A model was built to show valve train component position, velocity, and acceleration.
Below are schematics of the valve train and the model in VTB.
Fully Active Linear Motor, California Linear Devices
Can be incorporated into a vehicle suspension system.
Low Time Constant 15 ms
Simple Control
Increased current = Increased force
Reasonable Max Force = 1125 lbs
