Scissor Lifts are widely used for lifting significant load at required height safely and efficiently. The area of application includes vehicle loading, pallet handling, work positioning, etc. Scissor Lifts come in varied form which can be built to facilitate specialized industrial activities and tasks. They can be driven by hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic sources and also push chains or hydraulic foot pump in case of light load. This paper deals with analysis and optimization of hydraulic scissor lift. Catia is used for modelling purpose, MSC Apex for meshing and SimXpert for analysis work i.e. to check stress, strain, displacement and deformation induced in the system. The main aim is to reduce lift weight by modifying parameters like the cylinder position and replacing supporting link of cylinder ultimately reducing the cost.

Page	::	24-29

In this paper the validation of both linear and non-linear behaviour of the spring is studied. Mathematical model for the suspension system is created and equation of motion is derived. Passive suspension system is taken into consideration for the validation. Two approaches are performed i.e. State space and SIMULINK. The State space equation is derived from the mathematical model for the linear and non-linear suspension systems. Simulation of the model is created in MATLAB SIMULINK for both the systems. The analytical model is validated with SIMULINK model. Both the results of the State space and MATLAB SIMULINK are validated.

Title	::	Analysis of the Cross Member Designs Used For Improving the Tensional Stiffness of Heavy Commercial Vehicle Chassis Frame
Country	::	India

Page	::	30-37

The chassis frame is the most important part of a heavy duty vehicle. Its main function is to safely carry the maximum load under all designed operating conditions. Hence it should be rigid enough to withstand various forces coming on it like bending forces, twisting forces, vibrations and other forces. An important factor in chassis frame design is to have adequate strength as well as torsional stiffness for better handling characteristics. Therefore, maximum shear stress induced in the frame and deflections during various operating conditions are important criteria for the chassis frame design. Cross-member assist the side rails to overcome lateral, bending and mainly torsional loads..............
