WINDSHIELD WIPER MECHANISM DYNAMIC SIMULATION
IN AUTOMOTIVES

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING HUNEDOARA, UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA TIMIŞOARA, ROMANIA
ABSTRACT: For monospaced automotives (MPV), windshield surface is large, which requires that for a
good visibility, the “cleaned” windshield surface to be as large as possible, meaning the driven
components trajectory (windscreen wiper arms) of the wiper mechanism to be well adapted to the
windscreen surface. This paper presents component and functioning of the windshield wiper on
Renault Scenic automotive. Analysis and dynamic simulation was achieved in 3D Autodesk Inventor
Professional modeling and design, considering that the mechanism is a multibody system (mbs). At the
same time it was made finite element method analysis to the mechanism main rod, by isolating her
from the rest of the mechanism in a moment of time where the loading mechanism is maxim.

INTRODUCTION
For monospaced automotives (MPV), windshield surface is large (≈ 1,4 m2), which requires that
for a good visibility, the “cleaned” windshield surface to be as large as possible, meaning the driven
components trajectory (windscreen wiper arms) of the wiper mechanism to be well adapted to the
windscreen surface.
Windshield wiper mechanism arrangement from road vehicles is shown in figure 1.

wiper mechanisms
In practice there are a wide variety of constructive solutions for windshield wiper mechanisms on
road vehicles, the most common being based on articulated parallelogram or anti articulated
parallelogram mechanisms as shown in figure 2.
Windshield wiper mechanism studied (from road vehicles Renault Scenic type), modeled 3D
using Autodesk Inventor Professional is...
