However, most of the existing researches focus on a single form of hunting instability and only take specific value of equivalent conicity as the worst case of wheel-rail contact relationship. To face this challenging problem, this paper studies the hunting stability of high-speed railway vehicles from the perspective of modal parameters based linearized analysis. The root locus analysis is carried out first to observe the modal information and hunting stability. The continuous modal tracking method is exploited to understand the variation regularity of each mode under the speed parametric excitation, especially when the frequency coupling occurs. Two objective functions related to the minimal damping ratio are proposed to indicate the severity of carbody and bogie hunting instabilities, respectively. The proposed objective functions consider the full range of running speed and wheel-rail contact conicity during operation. Starting from the objective functions, the sensitive analysis and a vector evaluated genetic algorithm are implemented to optimize the suspension parameters. Finally, the optimal solution of the suspension parameters is obtained after a generation of 20. The research method presented in this paper deepens the understanding of hunting motion and improves the vehicle stability in a simple, efficient and effective way.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"47 1","pages":"422 - 439"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73605272","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}

There are also very strong couplings between the longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Therefore, the simultaneous longitudinal and lateral motion control in different road conditions is a challenging problem. This paper presents an integrated adaptive control for longitudinal and lateral vehicle guidance on the highways. The contribution of this work is the design of a robust integrated controller that can handle tyre-road friction changes with low computational cost The proposed controller can adapt to the variations of tyre and road specifications. The strength of this method is that without the use of complex models, the nonlinear tyre dynamic is considered in the design of the controller. Therefore, despite the consideration of a comprehensive nonlinear vehicle dynamic model and the ability to adapt to changes in tyre and road specifications, the computational cost of the algorithm is very small. Besides, due to the controller robustness, there are no concerns about uncertainties. To validate the proposed algorithm, a full vehicle model in CarSim software is used. In obtained results, it is assumed that the yaw rate, longitudinal and lateral acceleration signals are available and have noises. The estimation of longitudinal and lateral velocities and other vehicle states has been done using these signals. Results for different road conditions as well as various vehicle movement modes confirm that tracking of longitudinal and lateral positions has been carried out with high precision. Besides, the results show that the proposed integrated control guarantees the stability of the vehicle, it will manage the tyre-road friction changes well, and also it is resistant to unmodeled uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"1 1","pages":"453 - 469"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91003494","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}

Higher speed has adverse impact on vehicle stability and ride comfort. Therefore, in order to improve critical speed and ride comfort magneto-rheological (MR) based dampers are used. Here, the lateral dynamics of an Indian passenger rail vehicle is expressed with 17 degrees of freedom model and after validation, it is used to examine the effect of suspension parameters such as damping and stiffness on critical speed. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is performed and it is found that critical speed is the most sensitive to secondary lateral damping coefficient. Therefore, these dampers are replaced with MR fluid dampers to evaluate improvement in stability and critical speed. The modified Bouc-Wen model is formulated to characterise the behaviour of the MR damper. Herein, two distinct controllers: disturbance refusal and damper force tracking control algorithms are employed to govern the entire system. Measured random track irregularities are applied as an input to simulate the system. The results reveal that the semi-active suspension improves the critical speed by 19.38 km/h (9.89%) when compared to the existing passive suspension, and significantly reduces the vibration responses of the carbody in a wide frequency spectrum at higher speeds of the train.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"1 1","pages":"440 - 452"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73181059","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}

Zhu","doi":"10.1177/14644193221093214","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/14644193221093214","url":null,"abstract":"In the dynamic simulation of spiral bevel gears (SBGs), the modeling and contact analysis of the SBGs are extremely complicated; therefore, dynamic analysis of the SBGs generally simplifies the SBG model. The vibration in the meshing process will cause the meshing trajectory to deviate, resulting in changes in the meshing stiffness, oil film thickness, and load distribution between teeth. These changes cannot be realized using simplified models. To accurately calculate the dynamic behavior of the SBG pair of the intermediate reducer of a helicopter under the influence of vibration displacement, a load-tooth contact analysis(LTCA) of the SBG with error was performed based on the finite element method(FEM) and gear meshing principle. A calculation method for the meshing stiffness, considering the errors and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) factors, is proposed. To establish the coupling nonlinear dynamic model of the tail drive thin-walled shaft Timoshenko beam element and SBG lumped mass methods, applied the Newmark conjugate gradient method. Changes in parameters such as vibration displacement, meshing trajectory, tooth side clearance, oil film thickness, and meshing stiffness were obtained. The results show that the contact stiffness after considering the oil film stiffness is reduced by 17.7% compared to that without considering the effect of the oil film, and the oil film stiffness fluctuates more because the coupled model takes into account the vibration effect of the time-varying system, and the amplitude increases by 18.5% compared to the commercial software. The coupled kinetic model calculates the dynamic meshing force, normal relative displacement, single tooth meshing period and oil film thickness, and finds that the amplitude of the relevant parameters increases. The obtained time-varying lubrication parameters provide a theoretical basis for studying the evolution of the transmission system under the loss of lubrication.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"86 2 1","pages":"291 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74616840","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}

Our approach improved upon previous studies by introducing a gravity term, optimising the calculation method, and using a function diagram to represent the asymptotically stable region to produce more accurate results. Our finding that the influence of gravity on the stability of the CPVA system is reflected in the change of the tuning order prompted us to define new terminology—’gravity mistuning factor ( Δ σ η )’ and ‘zone yielding to gravity ( ZY )’—to intuitively reflect the influence of gravity. Comparison of the results obtained from numerical simulation based on a fully nonlinear equation of motion with analytical results revealed nonlinear dynamic characteristics such as bifurcation to asynchrony response, nonlinear jump, and beat phenomena. The approach and results of this study are more practical in settings in which gravity plays an important role, including vehicle engine idling, low-speed locomotive or marine engines, and drum washing machines.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"10 1","pages":"260 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76373174","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 previous bearing dynamic models were mainly established based on the idealised lubrication conditions, which may not uncover the influence of thermal effect of lubricant on vibration characteristics of defective bearing. This paper presented the influence of thermal effect on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) performances of ball bearing and the vibration characteristics of defective bearing under thermal EHL. Considering the point contact thermal EHL and the time-varying displacement excitation, a dynamic model of ball bearing with a localised defect on outer raceway was developed. The model was validated by the experimental results. Compared with isothermal EHL, the simulation results with thermal EHL reveal larger pressure and thinner film thickness in the ball-raceway contact interface. Meanwhile, the rotating speed and radial load have significant effects on the thermal EHL performance of ball bearing. The effects of three contact conditions (dry friction, isothermal and thermal EHL) on vibration amplitude of defective bearing in frequency domain are discussed. The results show that the lubricant could improve the vibration of defective bearing, whereas the addition of thermal effect of EHL could increase the vibration amplitude and deteriorate the lubricating performance. The model is beneficial to the bearing model optimisation and the rational selection of lubricants.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"8 1","pages":"488 - 500"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82308759","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}

Considering the key role of the ankle, the second most injured joint after the knee and the only link of the body to the ground, for human motion, the aim of this study is to provide a general overview of generic foot multibody models and their application to the analysis of ankle biomechanics during running. Searches for studies published until February 2021 were performed in scientific databases. The selected studies contemplated original foot multibody models and their running applications. Multibody models of the foot included kinematic and dynamic approaches with the foot being modelled by 3 to 26 segments. Some models have been used to understand the ankle biomechanics regarding running, but most considered only simplified models of the foot. Moreover, their application in the understanding of running mechanics is still very shallow, focusing mainly on the study of joint angle variation and ground reaction forces. This narrative review shows that detailed multibody models of the ankle, which represent its high complexity, are still scarce. An understanding of the different parameters that influence sports performance and injury prevalence has yet to be achieved. Future research should address these topics to create intervention strategies on injury prevention and to maximise sports performance.","PeriodicalId":54565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part K-Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics","volume":"203 1","pages":"338 - 353"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89314556","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}
