ASOM as a tool for car manufacturers and suppliers: Examples and features
Using three brief examples (car seat, rear hatch and spoiler), we demonstrate how car manufacturers and suppliers can use the kinematics software ASOM v7 to solve typical industry-specific problems.
Bow and arrow with ASOM
Experimental example for bow and arrow, animated and computed in the kinematics software ASOMv7.
Kinematics for a door closer
Basic example of a door closer, simulated with the kinematics design software ASOM v7
Kinematics of a truck lift gate
Basic example of the kinematics of a tailgate lift or lift gate in a medium duty truck.
Kinematics of a furniture hinge
Basic example for a furniture hinge, simulated in ASOMv7. The example shows a hinge system, connecting the door and side wall of a cabinet.
Multi-bar system for a foot pedal in a car
Basic example of a multi-bar system for a pedal or foot pedal.
Kinematics of a pop-up roof of a mobile home
In the following you will see an example of the kinematics for a pop-up roof, generated with the kinematics design software ASOMv7, which is often found in the caravan industry for camping vans and caravans.
Table kinematics, linkage for lifting a table top
Basic kinematics example of a folding dining table. The middle plate in the table shown here is automatically lifted into the center position by four-bar systems on each of the two sides. The two partial systems are kinematically independent of each other.
Kinematics of a hospital bed or an examination couch
This example illustrates a part of the kinematics of a hospital bed with two different actuators or spindle drives, one for the height adjustment of the entire bed and one for lifting of the foot area.
Kinematics example: friction cone and self-locking
Basic kinematics example for self-locking under force-dependent friction. Friction occurs between a vertical guideway and a fork with a mass in the center of gravity and two contact points on the guideway. This friction is described in each case by a coefficient of friction or a friction value in the two sliding bearings, which, for
Mechanism idea for an aircraft stowage compartment
Basic kinematics example for a hinge system.
Basic kinematics example for an idealized block and tackle
Here, a block and tackle is combined with a linear guide. The ratios between stroke and path length and the required forces are computed in compressed time.
Kinematic and kinetostatic analysis of a table being pushed
This example created with the kinematics software ASOMv7 shows how the normal forces in the two table legs change or adapt when a horizontal force is applied to move the table.
Rear Spoiler Kinematics with Joint Friction
Basic example for the kinematics of a rear spoiler with masses, forces and bearing friction.
Forces on a sloping plane with force-dependent friction
Idealized kinematics example with a block that rests on a plane and can be moved with a corresponding actuating force.
Aircraft Landing Gear with Bearing Friction (Joint Friction)
This is a basic kinematics example for deploying and retracting an aircraft landing gear with force-dependent bearing friction (joint friction) in the kinematics software ASOMv7.
