Dynamic modeling and simulation of windshield wiper mechanism


Author(s): Amit Nemade and RZ Deshmukh

Abstract: The large windshield glass surface of the automotive requires to be cleaned for a good visibility. The wiper arm mechanism driven by an electric motor is well adopted to clean the large surface area of the windshield. Most of the Wiper mechanisms adopts the simple four bar mechanism or parallelogram mechanism for the working which works by transmitting the power from an electric motor to the roots of wiper arms converting rotary motion into back and forth motion. The present work attempts to simulate and analyze the dynamic behavior of a wiper tandem mechanism by using the software packages, CATIA V5R20 for modeling; ANSYS for analysis considering the mechanism as multibody system. The paper also presents the distribution of equivalent stress in the coupling linkages and joints of the mechanism to predict the probable area of failure.
