In this investigation, a modeling procedure of a telescopic boom of cranes is developed using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation together with the sliding joint constraints. Since telescopic booms are extracted and retracted under various operating conditions, the overall length of the boom changes dynamically, leading to the time-variant vibration characteristics. For modeling the telescopic...
This paper examines a computer program developed to analyze the vibration of rotating machineries based on theories of vibration and multibody dynamics (MBD). Bending vibration problems of rotating machineries have generally been categorized as either linear or nonlinear. Linear problems can be formulated by standard methods and nonlinear problems can be formulated by MBD methods. In our study, nonlinear...
Recursive formulations have significantly helped in achieving real-time computations and model-based control laws. The recursive dynamics simulator (ReDySim) is a MATLAB-based recursive solver for dynamic analysis of multibody systems. ReDySim delves upon the decoupled natural orthogonal complement approach originally developed for serial-chain manipulators. In comparison to the commercially available...
The dynamics for multi-link spatial flexible manipulator arms is investigated. The system considered here is an N-flexible-link manipulator driven by N DC-motors through N revolute flexible-joints. The flexibility of each flexible joint is modeled as a linearly elastic torsional spring, and the mass of the joint is also considered. For the flexibility of the link, all of the stretching deformation,...
This paper deals with the modeling of a multibody system in which some pairs of bodies are connected by more than one joints with the same kinematic constraints. In such system, the redundant joints must be removed out artificially to ensure the solvable condition of the equations of motion being satisfied. It is believed but not obvious that the redundant joints have no effect on the system acceleration...
Rotating disk subjected to stationary slider loading system is a very common mechanical structure. This paper investigates the multibody dynamics of a rotating flexible annular thin disk subjected to double slider loading systems. Along the rotating disk radial and circumferential directions, two stationary slider loading systems are distributed. System dynamic model is solved by Galerkin's method,...
The subsystem synthesis method has been developed in order to improve computational efficiency for a multibody vehicle dynamics model. Using the subsystem synthesis method, equations of motion of the base body and each subsystem can be solved separately. In the subsystem synthesis method, various coordinate systems can be used and various integration methods can be applied in each subsystem, as long...
Electro-hydraulic servo valve is a typical complicated multi-domain system constituted by mechanical, electric, hydraulic and magnetic components, which is widely used in electro-hydraulic servo systems such as construction machinery, heavy equipment, weapon and so forth. The traditional method of modeling and simulation of servo valve is based on block diagram or signal flow, which cannot describe...
Based on exact Green strain of spatial curved beam, the nonlinear strain-displacement relation for plane curved beam with varying curvature is derived. Instead of using the previous straight beam elements, curved beam elements are used to approximate the curved beam with varying curvature. Based on virtual work principle, rigid-flexible coupling dynamic equations are obtained. Physical experiments...
In this study, the 3-dimensional discrete element method is firstly introduced to explain the fracturing damage process of the dynamic split experiment of a special brittle glass ZnS. The corresponding dynamic split experiment is also performed by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. Then the numerical results correspond closely to those obtained by experiments, and the fracturing damage mode shows...

Then methods based on second order sensitivity are used to solve the unconstrained problem, where the sensitivity is solved by hybrid method. Generalized-α method and generalized-α projection method for the differential-algebraic...
