The focus of this research is to implement the preparation work and design modifications for testing and evaluation of the safety secure stabilizer device of the gondola. The reliability and user friendliness were the main issues for the system especially on the anchoring subsystems, sucking cup subsystem and piping subsystem. Re-design efforts were also emphasized to simplify the system. The sucking force experiments verified that the sucking cup assembly maintained sucking force of 42.2 to 46.2 kgf on wet surfaces which was close to the theoretical values of 45 kgf. On system dynamics, the discrepancies between computer simulation and field testing were greatly reduced to 8 to 25% after adding the elastic modulus of the sucking cups. Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) was conducted on the system and its components to further predict and prevent future failure and used as system improvement guidelines. Through thorough simulation and experiments, this stabilization device for gondola is reliable and ready for commercial application. |
