Abstract
Mechanism bears various types of loads. However, the effect of load type and magnitude on the dynamic characteristics of mechanism is less clear. This study investigates the effect of load force on the dynamic characteristics of planar mechanisms with clearance through theoretical modeling and experimental method. The dynamic model of mechanism with clearance is formulated utilizing the Lagrange multiplier method, incorporating a contact force model based on the Lankarani-Nikravesh and modified Coulomb models. Dynamic analysis of a slider-crank mechanism is conducted, revealing a transition from chaotic to periodic behavior with increasing force magnitude. The findings demonstrate the universal behavior across different load force forms, parametric conditions and topological configurations. Experimental validation is conducted on a multi-link mechanism with clearance joints and shows good agreement with theoretical prediction. A comparative analysis between a ball-plane impact model and the slider-crank mechanism with clearance is performed and the effect of load type and magnitude is analyzed respectively. This finding highlights the critical role of load force in determining the dynamic characteristics of planar multibody systems with clearances, offering valuable insights for designing mechanical systems under diverse load conditions.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics provides a specific medium for dissemination of high-quality research results in the various areas of theoretical, applied, and experimental mechanics of solids, fluids, structures, and systems where the phenomena are inherently non-linear.
The journal brings together original results in non-linear problems in elasticity, plasticity, dynamics, vibrations, wave-propagation, rheology, fluid-structure interaction systems, stability, biomechanics, micro- and nano-structures, materials, metamaterials, and in other diverse areas.
Papers may be analytical, computational or experimental in nature. Treatments of non-linear differential equations wherein solutions and properties of solutions are emphasized but physical aspects are not adequately relevant, will not be considered for possible publication. Both deterministic and stochastic approaches are fostered. Contributions pertaining to both established and emerging fields are encouraged.
