Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, a mathematical model is presented to numerically simulate the dynamical responses in a multi-cable suspension platform taking into account the slack cables and guiding devices. The state change of the cable (slack versus tensioned) is considered and is described mathematically by a complementary condition equation, and the interactions between the guiding wheels and the shaft wall are described by the Heaviside step function. The Lagrange’s equation with constraints is used to derive the dynamic equations of the system, and a non-smooth generalized-α algorithm for non-smooth phenomena of multibody dynamics is applied to numerically solve the equations. The simulation results have shown the dynamic responses of the platform and the cable tension characters when different cables are excited by different longitudinal excitations. Moreover, the results have illustrated how the cable tension differences may affect the pressure on the shaft wall applied by the guiding devices.
期刊介绍:
Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems (MCMDS) publishes high quality international research that presents new ideas and approaches in the derivation, simplification, and validation of models and sub-models of relevance to complex (real-world) dynamical systems.
The journal brings together engineers and scientists working in different areas of application and/or theory where researchers can learn about recent developments across engineering, environmental systems, and biotechnology amongst other fields. As MCMDS covers a wide range of application areas, papers aim to be accessible to readers who are not necessarily experts in the specific area of application.
MCMDS welcomes original articles on a range of topics including:
-methods of modelling and simulation-
automation of modelling-
qualitative and modular modelling-
data-based and learning-based modelling-
uncertainties and the effects of modelling errors on system performance-
application of modelling to complex real-world systems.
