Abstract:
In this thesis, overall design of a multi-purpose vehicle for transportation, repair and cleaning missions in hydro power station water ways during overhaul is presented. Design process is divided into several parts. The main challenges of the project and customer requirements are discussed first. A brief review of electric vehicles history is presented. The conceptual design including initial dimensional calculations, energy analysis and component selection are described in subsequent sections. Finally the structural and dynamic analysis of chassis and suspension system are carried out. To avoid pollution and life hazards to workers, a battery and electric motor drive system is utilized. Due to the fact that the vehicle has no space for U turn in the water ways, a double ended vehicle with two driver cabins is considered. The conceptual sketches and preliminary calculations are presented. Although some detailed calculations for power train is presented but the work requires further detailed calculations and design work before it becomes a workable design for implementation
