The ALE method incorporates a discretized form of equations of motion with mesh updating algorithms in order to prevent a problem of mesh distortion. This paper focuses on an analytical aspect of such treatments as constrained systems in the formulation of the ALE method. Since the mesh updating algorithms give algebraic relations for nodal coordinates, this study treats these relations as constraints. Then, we introduce formulation for constrained systems based on the method of Lagrange multipliers. As a result of this formulation, equations of motion are given by differential algebraic equations (DAEs) consisting of differential equations for time evolution of physical quantities and algebraic equations (constraints). The present method can be classified into a kind of augmented formulation. In particular, the present approach is motivated by the inherent simplicity of the DAEs. Moreover, we present a matrix size reduction technique used in the Newton-Raphson method in order to remove a part of the redundant degrees of freedom in the iterative procedures, because the resulting set of DAEs involves a larger number of unknowns than the minimal number of degrees of freedom due to the introduction of the constrained formulation. In addition, this study presents a method to introduce damping effects defined in the modal space into the FEM models. The proposed approach is validated by comparisons with experimental data in the time domain analysis.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"250 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352590","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}

With nonlinearities limited to second-order couplings in the formulation, it has been an attractive choice in formulating nonlinear reduced-order models for dynamic analysis and control design in aeroelasticity problems involving large displacements and rotations. Owing to its rotation-free formalism, the intrinsic formulation has not been formulated to accommodate multibody constraints, limiting its use against multibody structures with kinematic constraints. This work aims to address such weakness as we present developments in introducing multibody constraints into the full and reduced-order intrinsic equations while still preserving the beneficial traits of the method. We describe the resolution of displacement-level constraints using index-1 approach and adaptation of constraint stabilisation strategies to the intrinsic formulation using state projection. The numerical behaviour of the full- and reduced-order implementations are assessed using test cases with large static and dynamic deformations with time-domain simulations to demonstrate validity of the approach.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136294331","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 iteration is carried out through a Jacobian matrix (JM) and a residual vector, both updated in each iteration. Though the JM is known to be singular at certain bifurcation points, the singularity is still an open question and could play a pivotal role in real applications. In this study, we define and calculate an expanded JM (EJM) by applying an expanded solution expression in the IHB iteration. The singularity of the EJM at several different bifurcation points is proved in a general manner, according to the bifurcation theory for equilibria in nonlinear dynamical systems. Given the possible bifurcation type, furthermore, the singularity is applied to locate the corresponding bifurcation point directly and precisely. Considered are the cases of the period-doubling, symmetry breaking, and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations of periodic and/or quasi-periodic responses.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135342818","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}

To control and manage increasingly complex traffic networks, it also becomes necessary to study the effects of driver characteristics significantly. In this research, a novel car-following model is proposed which considers both the driver's cautious and aggressive instincts for optimal and relative velocity integrals. To analyze the stability of the new model, a small perturbation method was used. Further, the modified Korteweg-de Vries equations were established with the help of a reductive perturbation method. In bifurcation analysis, we examine the existence and stability of Hopf bifurcation in various systems. This helps to gain deeper insight into the behavior of these dynamical systems and can be used to develop more efficient control strategies. Numerical simulations and theoretical analyses both show that the aspects of the enhanced model related to driver characteristics have a major effect on traffic flow stability. Additionally, the model can adeptly handle traffic congestion and quickly return to its normal state if any disruption occurs.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80389307","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 instrumented axle can be used on any railway vehicle travelling at moderate forward speed to provide measurements in real-time. The proposed methodology, combined with the instrumented axle, enables precise and prompt measurement of track irregularities. An experimental campaign carried out on a 1:10 scale track facility at the University of Seville validated both the system and the methodology. In the testing, 80 meters of scaled track was measured at an operational speed of V = 0.65 m/s in just two minutes.

The theory of projective geometric algebra (PGA) is used to generate the algorithm. It provides a systemic and geometrically intuitive interpretation for the multibody system dynamics, and the resulting algorithm is highly efficient, with concise formula. The algorithm is first applied to the open-chain system and extended for the cases when kinematic loops are contained.
