• Here we have performed the linear static analysis and all the conditions is only for linear
analysis.
• Clearly we can see that the force is applied at the very first ( top) portion of the brake pedal
but the stress is not maximum at that part of the pedal but it is maximum at the middle part or
else we can say at the design space . Where it is constrained.
• We can compare this structure as a cantilever beam, where the load is applied at he hanged
part and constrained at the back.

• At some place the stress is high and at some place it is minimum. So the material is
removed from that place.
• We can’t remove the material from the Non Design Space because this part came in direct
contact with the user and if we removed the material from this place then this part will not
work according the use of it.
• By doing the optimization the Production cost of the material would decrease significantly.

Summary
• After attempting this problem statement I got knowledge of this software tool. By doing the
analysis and optimization we can check the product without having the product virtually.
• It tells about most affected region of the product and how we can utilize the product to
increase the life of the product.
• It also tells us how we can get less production cost and easy manufacturing by optimization.
• It also gave us the opportunity to understand the behaviour of a product under different
loading conditions.
• In this particular problem statement we have checked the behaviour of Brake pedal under a
certain load and did the optimization to remove the unnecessary material.

Problem Overview
• In this problem statement we have stirling engine mechanism run by power unit. This power
unit is solar panel actuated. The solar Stirling engine can use the concentrated heat from the
sun as fuel to produce work. Hot side cylinder and piston assembly placed towards large dish
of mirror where solar ray concentrating and cold side cylinder and piston assembly kept at
cold side. Here is the flywheel is rotating at some constant rpm and we have to measure the
displacements, forces and velocities acting on piston-1 and piston-2.
Assumptions-
• If the nodes exceeds from 100,000 then .H3d file will not be generated. So to minimize the
nodes we have done coarse mesh at the power unit portion and fine mesh on the rest of the
portion.

Information-
• No. of joints – 10
• Types of joints – Revolute , Fixed , Translational
• Fixed joint – Between Power Unit and Ground Body
• Fixed joint – Between Power Unit and Fix Base
• Fixed joint – Between Fix Base and Fix Base 2
• Revolute joint – Between Crank shaft and Piston crank connector
• Revolute joint - Between Connecting rod and Crank shaft
• Revolute joint – Between Connecting rod and Cold side piston
• Revolute joint – Between Piston crank Connector and Hot side piston
• Revolute joint – Between Power unit and Crank shaft
• Translational joint – Between Cold side piston and Fix base
• Translational Joint- Between Fix base and Hot side piston

Summary
• Here one flywheel is rotated by two piston or vice versa.
• By doing the Multi body dynamics simulation we have generated the graphs between the
displacement and time.
• By this problem statement we learned that how we can convert reciprocating motion to rotary
motion.
• This tool gives us the opportunity to understand the motion of a mechanism.
• Kinematic analysis of a mechanism is important to understand the behaviour of a mechanism.
