III. DYNAMIC ANALYSIS PROGRAM

A. Software Structure
The objective of the developed program is that it should be

simple to define the design parameters and to obtain the
desired result. Figure 3 shows the data flow of the developed
program. The solver of the program is developed using
MATLAB considering the convenience of the development.
The GUI of the program is developed using MATLAB
Graphic User Interface module considering the interface with
the solver. And the GUI is composed so that the wiper system
model can be simply created. Figure 4 shows the main
windows of the developed program. Figure 5 shows the main
menus and their sub menus. Each sub menu has its own Fig. 6 Geometry parameters menu
function.
Fig. 3 Data flow of the program
Fig. 7 Material property of parts
Fig. 4 Main menus of the developed program
Fig. 8 Display of parameters
When the coordinates of the linkage and blade are entered,

the defined coordinates are displayed in the bottom window.
Figure 7 shows the window where the material property of
the bodies is defined. Figure 8 shows the entered data
displayed in the main windows. So the information of the
current model is easily certificated.
C. Solver

After entering all necessary data, the analysis is started.
B. Pre-processor The solver of the program is developed referring [1]-[3]. The
solver is composed of 21 m-file. Using the entered data in the

where the coordinates of the linkage and blade are defined.

trace of the tip of the blade. Another is to draw a graph of the In this study, the program that analyzes the motion of the
whole wiper system by the time. Figure 11 shows the graphs wiper system is developed. Using the developed program, the
that the wiper moves as time goes. wiper system model is simply created. And the trace of the
blade is certificated by the motion of the wiper. In the future,
the next things can be added.
1) The optimization of the coordinate of the system

2) The calculation of the contact pressure of the blade
considering the characteristic of rubber
3) The improvement of the contact pressure through the
section design of the blade
