Different Maintenance Types and The Need for Energy Centered Maintenance

Remember that preventive maintenance is time-based. Actions such as changing oil are based on time, like calendar time or equipment run time. For example, most people change their oil in their cars every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. “https://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/OM_5.pdf”
Vibration Control of a Car Suspension System Using a Magnetorheological Damper with a Fuzzy Logic Controller
Published in Satya Bir Singh, Prabhat Ranjan, A. K. Haghi, Applied Mechatronics and Mechanics, 2020
The suspension system of a car is responsible for the smooth ride and keeping control of the car. Specifically, the suspension system maximizes the friction between the tires and the road to provide steering stability and good handling. Additionally, suspension systems provide comfort to the passengers by limiting the impact of particular road irregularities to the car, as well as the passengers riding inside.

You have a car. On the internet, you may find information that, depending on average pressing of the brake of your car, the average time to change brake pads is between 25,000 and 65,000 km. Let’s say: The brake pad on your car needs to be changed each 40,000 km. Assume that your car has driven just 10,000 km, but there is mistake in the material used to produce the brake pad. You enter your car to go for a drive, but you are not aware of that mistake (even the manufacturing company is not aware of that!), so you drive your car at a speed of 100 km/h. Suddenly, there is another car which enters highway at a bad place and is immediately in front of you. You press the brakes, but the brakes do not work because at this moment the brake pads just disintegrate. The chances of casualties in the following crash are very, very high.

Suspension is a necessary car component used to isolate and minimize vibration between the car and the road and to support the weight of the spring mass. The used model, shown in Figure 1, consists of the following elements: quarter car body, three arms (or triangle of the suspension) {(1), (2), (3)}, damper, tire, axle, coil spring, control arm (A- arm) and load disturbance (Papegay, Merlet, and Daney 2007). The generalized coordinates considered in this modeling are rotation angle ψ of the A-arm and vertical displacement Y2 of the quarter-car.

A car transmission, i.e. manual gearbox, was chosen for the case study due to its complexity and a relatively large number of different parts. The gearbox is a mechanical device used both to transform torque from the car engine to wheels using different transmission ratios and to enable the reverse drive. It is made up of a large number of gears, shafts, gear levers, bearings, screws, etc. In Figure 3 inner and outer picture of the manual gearbox used in this case study is shown.
