Although multibody dynamics vehicle simulation has been widely utilized for the vehicle performance evaluation, nonlinearities associated with the air suspension behavior are vastly simplified and the air mass flows of the leveling valve (LV) and differential pressure valve (DPV) are neglected in many cases. It is, however, known that changes in the air spring pressure caused by the LV and DPV make a non-negligible impact on the vertical wheel load variation and the derailment safety in small radius curved tracks. Therefore, this paper presents a numerical procedure for the analysis of the coupled vehicle and air suspension system behavior, considering nonlinearities associated with LV and DPV flow characteristics. To enable quick and accurate prediction of the history-dependent LV-induced wheel load unbalance and its impact on the derailment safety, quasi-static vehicle motion solvers for the fully coupled vehicle and air spring system flow equations are developed. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the simulation capabilities developed in this study and numerical results are validated against the test data.","PeriodicalId":338372,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6: 15th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124997486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complex engineering applications can be simulated in co-simulation setups, in which each subsystem is solved and integrated using numerical methods tailored to its physical behaviour. Co-simulation implies that the communication between subsystems takes place at discrete-time instants and is limited to a given set of coupling variables, while the internals of each subsystem are generally not accessible to the rest of the simulation environment. In non-iterative co-simulation schemes, this may lead to the instability of the integration. Increasingly demanding requirements in the simulation of machinery have led to the coupling, in real-time co-simulation setups, of multibody models of mechanical systems to computational representations of non-mechanical subsystems, such as hydraulics and electronics. Often, these feature faster dynamics than their mechanical counterparts, which leads to the use of multirate integration in non-iterative co-simulation environments. The stability of the integration in these cases can be enhanced using interface models, i.e., reduced representations of the multibody system, to provide meaningful input values to faster subsystems between communication points. This work describes such interface models that can be used to represent nonsmooth mechanical systems subjected to unilateral contact and friction.","PeriodicalId":338372,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6: 15th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128031354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The serious negative influences of the singularities existing in the AVEN on the safety and maneuverability of the aircrafts have not been paid enough attention or aware of by the experts in the field. In this paper, two kinds of singularities existing in the AVEN for the nozzle vectoring drive mechanism of the parallel manipulator and the suspending mechanism of the divergent flaps are analyzed at first.

The primary factors investigated were temperature increase, mass loss, and surface condition of the material. The goal of this research is to identify the best material choice for this application. Eight different thermoplastics were observed in this study. The thermoplastics include variations of polyethylene (PE), polyamide (Nylon), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). An overarching goal of this study is to develop a standard wear property table for the select thermoplastics, as they are not readily available like material property tables for other materials.\u0000 The results obtained show that the temperature of the materials generally increased over time, with some materials experiencing greater temperature increase than others. The PTFE materials exhibited the most substantial material loss while the PE materials had the highest increase in temperature during the testing period. Most Nylon composites generated noise during testing, with the exception of one variant: Bearing Grade Nylon. After all factors were considered, Bearing Grade Nylon was chosen for the aforementioned application due to its negligible mass loss, minor surface damage, and temperature increase relative to other thermoplastics tested throughout all trials.","PeriodicalId":338372,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6: 15th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control","volume":"253 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133207083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the theoretical analysis, the equations of motion are derived for: (1) the physical coordinate system, and (2) modal coordinate system. The modal equations of motion form an autoparametric system, i.e., the excitation acts directly on the first mode of vibration, and the other modes are indirectly excited because they are nonlinearly coupled with the first mode. Van der Pol’s method is employed to obtain the solutions of the harmonic oscillations, and then the expressions of the frequency response curves are given. In the numerical calculations, the frequency response curves of the amplitudes and phase angles in the cases of N = 2 and 3 are presented. The frequency response curves, obtained in the modal coordinate system, demonstrate that localization phenomena occur in the physical coordinate system when multiple vibrational modes simultaneously appear. When imperfections exist in the N Duffing oscillators, the modal equations of motion do not form an autoparametric system because the external excitation directly acts on all modes. Instead, internal resonances may occur in such systems.","PeriodicalId":338372,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6: 15th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117080491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cracks propagate with the passage of time and increase the amplitude of vibration. High vibration amplitudes can give rise to rotor/stator rubs. During the rubbing phase, the crack propagation gets enhanced due to inter-connected nature of these faults. If left unattended, these faults can cause the premature failure of machine components. Hence, there is a need to develop fault detection mechanisms based on the vibration response so that these faults can be diagnosed during initial stages. The effect of gravity and the presence of cracks significantly changes vibration characteristics of the rotor, which is thoroughly investigated in this research for a two-degrees-of-freedom Jeffcott rotor. It has been observed that during rubbing, high harmonics are excited. These harmonics are integer multiple of the rotor spin frequency. Similar type of the response is also observed due to the presence of a transverse rotor crack. It is difficult to distinguish the type of faults based on the steady state dynamic response only. Instead of working only on a steady state vibration response, the transient vibration response during coasting up of the rotor is considered. During coasting up of the rotor, high harmonics are excited for both the crack as well as rotor/stator rubbing. The excitation of higher harmonics starts at much earlier in the spectrogram of the vertical response for the cracked rotor compared to that of rubbing. This fact is used in the development of a fault diagnosis technique based on Short Time Fourier Transform of the vibration response. The proposed technique can efficiently distinguish different types of faults even if multiple faults coexist.","PeriodicalId":338372,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6: 15th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126545543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Investigation of simple tasks can help in this challenging problem. In order to describe the nature of the underlying control mechanism, first of all, the balancing force has to be determined. As a second step one can identify the behaviour of the controller. There are two main problems in the model of the whole control process of balancing, time-delay is unknown and the exact mathematical definition of the control goal is also not known. The explanation for this latter issue the classical inverted pendulum model has 2DoF but only one control forces exists, thus it can be handled as a typical underactuated mechanical system. In under-actuated systems the task of inverse dynamics is not well defined. Some degrees-of-freedom cannot directly be controlled, and the corresponding generalized coordinates depend on the system dynamics only. In this study we model the control mechanism as a time periodically (i.e. clock-driven) switched controller. We investigate the stability properties of the closed-loop system. We show a periodically switched controlled which can be a possible model of human balancing.","PeriodicalId":338372,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6: 15th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114668975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
