DESIGN AND STRESS ANALYSIS OF A FRAME WITH SUSPENSION TO MULTITASK TERRAIN ROVER

Abstract

: In this paper the design and stress analysis of a frame with suspension used in Modernity terrain rover is presented. The mentioned rover was used in University Rover Challenge 2018 (Utah, USA) and finished the challenge in the first place. The results presented in this paper are achieved with the SolidWorks software. The simulations are concern on maximum stress and displacements distributions and are done for different cases such as standby mode and wheel-rock collision.
