Effects of static loading on motion interchanger module for hybrid mobile robot

To design a mechanical systems, the designer should be proficient in the design of individual elements and components that embrace the system. There are few parametrs commonly needed to consider for its design, such as part dimensions, shape, material, load and nature of application. In this paper the design and effects analysis of static loading on motion interchanger unit of hybrid mobile robot is presented. The motion interchanger is a switchover module that helps the locomotion system transformability while robot moves on wheel or track mechanism. For the effective and reliable robot design, the model were then analyzed under static loading condition. The selected material aluminium alloys Al7075-T6 were subjected under different static load conditions i.e. 200N, 400N, 600N, 800N & 1kN for its mechanical behaviour analysis. The study concluded through the simulation results that the mobile robot with material aluminium alloy Al7075-T6 would failed with the increase of static loading.
