Based on the analyzed results, the design of a track suitable for the deformable terrain to be driven and selection of a power source (engine, transmission, etc.) were carried out. A multi-body simulation model of the tracked vehicle reflecting the designed track and the selected power source was developed, and a ground model reflecting the mechanical property of terrain was also developed to analyze the mechanical interaction of the track-terrain through simulation. In addition, each link constituting the track was modeled as a 6 DOF spring/damper system to consider the track's tension force and load distribution under the track, and through this, different ground pressure and soil thrust were applied according to the motion state of each link. Finally, driving performance analyses were performed using the developed tracked vehicle, and as a result, it was confirmed that the driving requirements of the tracked vehicle were satisfied.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75195604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, an existing mathematical model is developed further for the case of cross groove CVJs including an accurate contact mechanics model. The developed model is validated against a published data set from literature. Surface topography of worn raceways are experimentally measured and the results from the developed model are corroborated with the measured surface parameters.

These vibrations are caused by periodic changes in the gas pressure and inertial forces. To reduce these vibrations, dual mass flywheels (DMF) are used in some vehicles. DMFs are usually modelled as two disks connected with linear springs. However large rotation angle in DMFs can invalidate linear assumption. In this research, torsional vibration of a three-cylinder engine with nonlinear DMF is investigated and an analytical solution is obtained for the governing nonlinear equations of torsional vibrations under real engine torsional excitation for the first time. It should be noted that in the previous works, the torsional vibration equations of the DMF had been solved numerically. Analytical solution helps to study the effect of design parameters of DMF more easily. It is shown that the analytical and numerical solutions are well matched in steady-state conditions. Finally, a parametric study is performed and the effects of design parameters on the oscillation amplitude of the engine speed and flywheel output speed are presented.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90576655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The constructed model is verified by the experiment in the literature. In the obtained results, the whirl orbit, poincare map, cage velocity deviation ratio were given for defining the whirl stability of cage motions. The cage whirl stability declined with the enlargement of clearance fit and initial contact angle. Whereas, the cage whirl stability enhanced with the increasing guiding clearance.

An unmanned deformable vehicle is prone to tipping instability when reconfigured between the automotive and humanoid states. The following work reported herein addresses these issues. The kinematic model of an unmanned deformed vehicle during the coupled reconfiguration process was established. The zero moment point (ZMP) theory was used as the stability criterion, and based on the requirement for stability during the reconstruction process, a genetic algorithm was used to find the optimal value of the support state foot landing position for the parking and driving coupled reconfiguration, and for the optimal value of the driving acceleration of the deformed vehicle during the driving coupled reconfiguration. On the basis of the optimal foot landing position, the total reconfiguration time threshold, deformed vehicle driving acceleration threshold, and support surface tilt angle threshold were analysed and calculated in accordance with stability requirements during the reconfiguration. Finally, the stability performance of the optimised system was verified through prototype testing.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83725983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this case, its nonlinear phenomenon largely results from the unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP) and the nonlinear oil film forces, which, however, are not well understood. In this study, a mathematical model for a dual-rotor bearing system is established, the effects of the UMP and the oil-film forces on its nonlinear phenomenon are investigated creatively. Of which, the UMP force is initially calculated by the integration of the air-magnetic energy, and the short journal bearing assumption is employed to derive the oil-film force. The fitness of the developed model is validated through the stability experiments of a 660 MW turbogenerator set. Results indicate that in the idling condition, nonlinear phenomenon of the system can be described as the period-1 and quasi-periodic motions as the rotational speed rises. At low speeds, the amplitude of oil whirl appears. With the rising rotational speed, the oil whirl turns into oil whip in the second quasi-periodic. Interestingly, the electromagnetic force can greatly alleviate the system amplitude and enhance its stability considering the UMP force. The nonlinear effect of air-gap distance of the system under load conditions is also investigated. The system is still in the quasi-periodic state with the increasing air-gap distance at low/high speed. But the system is still unstable owing to oil whirl/whip and UMP force, causing the system experiences multiple states and becomes more stable at the intermediate speed.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80087968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These references define anthropomorphic movements for an exoskeleton robot. The proposed controller implemented the adjustment laws for the variable gains of a state feedback (Proportional-Derivative type) structure. The method to adjust the adaptive gains was determined using a controlled Lyapunov function. The adaptation laws use velocity estimation based on a robust exact differentiator (RED) implemented as a variation of a distributed Super-Twisting algorithm. The adaptive gain controller was evaluated on a simulated exoskeleton structure. The set of simulations considered the presence of external disturbances and modeling uncertainties. The controller proved efficient in rejecting external perturbations/uncertainties affecting the exoskeleton. The proposed controller’s performance was superior to the one obtained if the standard fixed-gain proportional derivative controller was evaluated. As an additional benefit of the adaptive PD controller implementation, a controller power reduction of at least 14 % concerning the non-adaptive version of the feedback controller was attained. An experimental evaluation of the proposed controller confirmed the benefits of the proposed controller with adaptive gains. The successful tracking of nine different biomechanically inspired reference trajectories justified the exoskeleton application, which could be used as a potential tool for rehabilitation purposes.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87089913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a vibration reduction method of 3D modification controlling the strength of vibration source and constrained damping structure restraining vibration transmission energy. For herringbone gear,The 3D modification form of tooth surface combining with two parabolas and one straight line is proposed and the modified tooth surface equation is derived based on the principle of forming grinding.Combined with tooth contact analysis (TCA) technology and loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) technology, three internal excitations of GTS after 3D modification are determined. Through force balance and node connection relationship between each element, the coupling dynamic model of gear-shaft-bearing with three internal excitations i.e., time-varying meshing stiffness, transmission error and meshing impact is established to calculate dynamic load of journal bearing.The load is loaded into the finite element model of the gearbox to obtain its vibration value and six symmetrical pressing plates are applied force to fix the foundation with adding the same constrained damping structure in the middle.The purpose of reducing gearbox vibration is realized by combining 3D modification technology with constrained damping structure.The results of numerical examples show 3D modification can effectively reduce the radial and axial vibration of the gearbox, while the constrained damping structure can availably cut down transverse vibration. Compared with modification, constrained damping structure is more obvious effect. This study will contribute to the in-depth study of vibration reduction measures of marine gearbox system under variable excitations, and analyze its vibration characteristics under different vibration reduction measures, so as to meet the requirements of its vibration reduction and realize safety and stability of ship hull.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79375675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
