| Summary: | In this study, experimental rig of automotive wiper System is designed and analyzed using numerical
tool. Generally, this rig utilizes different types of electric motor as a power assist. In addition, a suitable
dimension and material for each part was chose for the rig. There are two main considerations in order
to design the experimental rig. The first consideration is the selection of power assist (electric motor)
and the second is the consideration made pertaining to the criteria the design method. In research
methodology, the design and materials used in this study is needed to be structurally analyzed using
analytical calculation. After the calculation is complete and the desired results is obtained, then only the
experimental rig of automotive wiper system can be fabricated and tested. The platform of the rig was
analyzed to identify the external forces acting on the rig. Structural finite element analysis is conducted
on the completed a best design. It is to ensure the rig has a safety factor during the experiment going
on.
