Multibody Dynamics of Cross Groove Constant Velocity Ball Joints for High Performance Racing Applications

Vibration in the System of the Birfield-Rzeppa Constant Velocity Universal Joint

“…If the kinematic condition for homokinetism is fulfilled then the sufficient condition for the constant velocity of the Birfield-Rzeppa joint is the observation of the dynamically enforced condition [2]. In order to determine the sufficient condition one must define the function f (ϕ 1 ,ϕ 2 ), which in this case represents the dependence between the passive torsional moment (12) city plane is determined explicitly with the equation: (13) f the plane𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋will meet the dependence (13) then the Birfieldah. The plane 𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋 with so determined position , from the point s a constant velocity plane.…”

“…The kinematics of the constant velocity joint at various angles were analyzed by, among others: [12,16,17]. The dynamics analysis in terms of structural synthesis or analysis of the energy efficiency of the junction was dealt with by [9,13,18]. In [18], the influence of some significant dimensional and geometric errors on the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the Rzepp automotive ball joint was examined.…”
