AEG Torsional Damper - brief description

By

American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new “Dual Torsional Damper System”. This new AEG system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The torsional damper system will have two elastomer elements with top element functions as a vibration damping element and the bottom spherical elastomer element as a noise & harness damping element.

AEG dual mode damper system includes a spherical soft viscous bushing hub designed for being rigidly connected to a drive shaft, and an inertia ring, connected to the hub by means of a thin Polyurethane material layer. This dual-layer elastomer damper system is designed for torsional vibration reduction of the crankshaft system on multi-cylinder engine for vehicles. AEG polyurethane torsional dampers are designed to provide significant reduction of sound and vibration in various types of powertrain systems, protecting engine and transmission component from excessive wear. By reducing torsional vibration, component life is increased while providing greater operator comfort and better service life. This unique AEG damper design is desirable for truck, off-road vehicle, marine, agricultural, and military vehicle engine application where higher performance torsional damping and vibration eliminating solutions are a major priority.

AEG Torsional Damper performance

  • Dual mode torsional damper(Patent pending)
  • Viscous soft elastomer spherical hub eliminate transmission noise
  • Polyurethane elastomer torsional damper reduces torsional vibration that contributes to gear NVH and wear in transmission.
  • Self-aligning spherical hub eliminate concentricity concerns
  • Torsional stiffness up to 900ft-lbs of torque capacity
  • The design was presented in SAE 2008 World Congress held in Detroit.MI in April 2008 .Please follow the link below for the official publication

Shell-to-solid submodeling and shell-to-solid coupling of a pipe joint

By
Submodeling is the technique used in ABAQUS for analyzing a local part of a model with a refined mesh, based on interpolation of the solution from an initial global model (usually with a coarser mesh) onto the nodes on the appropriate parts of the boundary of the submodel. Shell-to-solid submodeling models a region with solid elements, when the global model is made up of shell elements. Shell-to-solid coupling is a feature in ABAQUS by which three-dimensional shell meshes can be coupled automatically to three-dimensional solid meshes. The analysis is tested as a static process in ABAQUS/Standard

Pressure penetration analysis of an air duct kiss seal

By
Seals are common structural components that often require design analyses. In this example, a nonlinear finite element analysis of seals is performed. Pressure penetration effects between the seal and the contacting surfaces are to be considered in these analyses, to make routine analyses of seals more realistic and accurate. Analyses of clutch seals, threaded connectors, car door seals and air duct kiss seals are some applications where pressure penetration effects are important. The surface-based pressure penetration capability is used to simulate pressure penetration between contacting surfaces.
