Analysis of actuating forces and joint reaction forces are essential to determine the capacity of actuators, to control the mechanical system and to design its components. This paper presents an algorithm that calculates actuating forces(or torques), depending on the various types of driving constraints, in order to produce a given system motion in the joint coordinate space. The joint coordinates are used as the generalized coordinates of a kinematic system. System equations of motion and constraint acceleration equations are transformed from the Cartesian coordinate space to the joint coordinate space using the velocity transformation method. A numerical example is carried out to verify the algorithm proposed.

This paper presents the method to eliminate the constraint reaction in the Lagrange multiplier form equation of motion by using a generalized coordinate driveder from the velocity constraint equation. This method introduces a matrix method by considering the m dimensional space spanned by the rows of the constraint jacobian matrix. The orthogonal vectors defining the constraint manifold are projected to null vectors by the tangential vectors defined on the constraint manifold. Therefore the orthogonal projection matrix is defined by the tangential vectors. For correcting the generalized position coordinate, the optimization problem is formulated. And this correction process is analyzed by the quasi Newton method. Finally this method is verified through 3 dimensional vehicle model.

This paper presents a numerical analysis method to determine flange contact at variable wheel positions. The shapes of the wheel and rail surface functions with surface parameters. The Newton-Rhapson method for wheel-rail contact can provide fast solutions, but may not yield true values at optimization process with the condition that minimum distance is zero can time-consuming. A compound method, combining the Newton-Rhapson methods the optimization process method is proposed to provide exact solutions efficiently.

In this paper, research on estimation of states of a target of interest using Line Of Sight(LOS) angle measurement is performed. Target's position, velocity, and acceleration are chosen to be the states of interests. The LOS measurement is known to be highly non-linear, making target dynamic modeling hard to be implemented into a filter. To solve this issue, the Pseudomeasurement equation was applied to the LOS measurement equation. With the help of this equation, 3D variable turn target dynamic model is applied to the filter model. For better performance, Kinematic Constraint is also implemented into the filter model. As for the filter, Bias Compensation Pseudomeasurement Filter (BCPMF) is used which is known for its robustness to initial conditions. Moreover, Two-Stage Kalman Filter (TSKF) form was also implemented to benefit from the parallel computation. As a result, TBCPMF 3DVT-KC is proposed and simulated to assess performance.

In multibody mechanical systems, low-degree-of-freedom (DOF) joints such as revolute and translational joints are much more frequently used than high-DOF joints. In order to formulate kinematic constraint equations, especially for low-DOF joints, in an efficient and systematic manner, this paper presents a parametric generalized coordinate formulation as a new approach for describing constraint equations. In the proposed approach, joint constraint equations are formulated in terms of a mixed set of Cartesian and parametric generalized coordinates, which drastically reduces the complexity and computational cost of the partial derivatives of the constraints such as the constraint Jacobian. The proposed formulation is validated using a simple cylinder-crank system with an implicit integrator.

본 논문에는 Euler매개변수를 회전좌표계로 사용하여 구속된 3차원 기계시스템의 역동학력 해 을 수행한 연구결과가 수록되었다. 해석을 위해 문제에 등장하는 비선형 Holonomic구속조건식 들과 운동방정식들을 Cartesian일반좌표계을 사용하여 표시하였으며, 일반좌표계를 구성하는 각 강체의 좌표계로는 변위를 나타내기 위한 3개의 좌표와 회전을 나타내기 위한 4개의 Euler매 개변수가 사용되었다. 구속조건식들과 미분방정식 형태의 운동방정식들을 결합하여 시스템 전 체의 운동방정식을 유도하기 위해 Lagrange승수 기법을 사용하였다. 각 강체의 주어진 시간에 서의 위치, 속도, 가속도는 기구학적 해석(kinematic analysis)을 통해 얻어지고, 이 자료들을 전 체운동방정식에 대입하여 Lagrnage승수의 값을 계산하여 6개의 자유도를 가진 로봇 기구를 원 하는대로 운전하는에 필요한 각 관절의 토오크를 계산하였으며, 계산결과가 정확하다는 사실이 입증되었다. 연구결과 Euler매개변수를 회전좌표로 사용할 경우 특이 경우(singular case)가 발 생하지 않으며, 이 방법은 역동력학 해석용 다목적 전산프로그램 개발에 광범위하게 응용될 수 있음이 밝혀졌다.

In synthesizing and RSSS-SC mechanism that is the kinematic model of the McPherson strut suspension system in automobiles, the design equations for R-S, S-S and S-C dyads should be solved separately for a given set of prescribed positions. The number of prescribed positions that the RSSS-SC mechanism can be synthesized is up to three because of the S-C dyad. This limitation may cause unsatisfactory results in synthesized joint positions. This paper presents a kinematic synthesis method to place the joints of an RSSS-SC mechanism in desired boundaries by varying the prescribed positions of the mechanism within acceptable tolerances. The sensitivity analysis of the joint positions is used determine which displacement parameter should be altered to fulfill this task.

Dimensional Synthesis, which is apart of kinematic synthesis, is to determine the dimensions of a mechanism of preconceived typer for a specified task and prescribed performance. In this paper, in an effort to provide designers with flexibility, a dimensional approximate synthesis method is presented for utilizing prescribed tolerance both the displacement and joint positions of a mechanism to be synthesized. For this, a constrained optimization problem is formulated with displacement parameters and joint positions as variables. The proposed method is applied to the synthesis of a 5-SS multi link suspension mechanism. The method discussed here, however, can be easily applied to any mechanism of which the kinematic constraint equations can be derived.

Basic constraint equations derived from orthogonality conditions between a pair of body-fixed vectors and a body-fixed vector or a vector between two bodies are reformulated by using relative coordinate kinematics between two adjacent reference frames. Arithmetic numbers of operations required to compute derivatives of the constraint equations are drastically reduced. A mixed formulation of relative and cartesian coordinates is developed to further simplify derivatives of the constraints. Advantages and disadvantages of the new formulation are discussed. Possible singularity problem of para llelism constraints is resolved by introducing an extra generalized coordinate. Kinematic analysis of a McPherson strut suspension system are carried out to illustrate use and efficiency of the new formulation.

In this Study, the dynamic equation for vibration analysis of mechanical systems with kinematic constraints is derived. This equations are derived in terms of small displacements of Cartesian coordinates, and are applied to compute the dynamic response and the natural modes of the suspension system of a vehicle. The results are validated through the comparison with the results from conventional nonlinear dynamic analysis and modal test.
