In general the Maglev vehicle is run over the elevated track called guideway. Since the guideway is elevated, the flexibility of the guideway has an effect on the dynamic responses of a vehicle such as its stability and ride quality. To improve the running performance of the Maglev vehicle and design a cost effective guideway using the dynamic analysis, the dynamic analysis of the system requires the coupling model of the Maglev vehicle and guideway. A coupling model based on multibody dynamics is proposed and programmed. With the program, the UTM01, a low speed Maglev vehicle, is analyzed and discussed.

After towing rope connecting a barge to a tug was subdivided into multiple finite elements, then those dynamic models was established using Newton's second law and considering the external force and moment such as tension, drag, Coriolis force, gravity, buoyancy, and impact due to free surface acting on each element. While the previous research on the model of towing rope considered only translation, five-degree-of-freedom equations of motion except roll based on the body-fixed frame were established in this paper. All elements are connected by a spring and a damper, and the stiffness of the spring was set as the equivalent value of the real rope. In order to confirm the established multiple finite element model, various scenarios such as freely falling of towing rope in the air and above the free surface, accelerating of a tug which tows a barge connected by towing rope, and sinusoidal moving of a tug were set up and simulated. As the results, the trajectories of the tug, the barge, and the towing rope showed good tendencies to the ones of real expected situations.

It is essential to perform driving performance tests of military vehicles on rough terrain. A full car test is limited by cost and time constraints, because of which a dynamic analysis via computer simulation is preferred. In this study, a vehicle model is developed using MSC.ADAMS, a commercial multibody analysis program, and compared via experiments. FTire is modeled using the results of a tire performance test to obtain the vertical stiffness. A nonlinear damper is modeled by a characteristic experiment. Leaf springs are modeled with beam force elements and consisted to a vehicle model. The vertical force and acceleration response of the wheel are identified when vehicle is passing over a simple bump as well as a sinusoidal road. The developed vehicle model is verified with the results of a full car test.

Juryeonggu is a cuboctahedral die that was used during the Silla period in ancient Korea. This cuboctahedral die consists of two different penal servitudes of 14 sides; however, its equal probability distribution enables it to be used as a die. In this paper, a precise cuboctahedral die, Juryeonggu, was manufactured, and its probability was measured through experiments. Next, the probability was verified through Multibody-dynamics (MBD) modeling and analysis, and the effect of the coefficient of friction on the probability distribution was studied.

To identify the dynamic characteristics of the Auto-leveling system applied to the Tractor-Trailer type Transporter for mounting a large scale precision equipment, Dynamics Modeling & Simulation were performed using general Dynamics Analysis Program - RecurDyn(V9R2). The axial load data, transverse load data and pad trace data of leveling actuators were obtained from M&S. And they were analyzed and compared with each other by parameters, i.e. friction coefficients on the ground, landing ram speed of actuators, and direction & quantity of ground slope. It was observed that ground contact friction coefficients affected to transverse load and pad trace; the landing ram speed of actuators to both amplitude of axial & transverse load, and this phenomena was able to explain from the frequency analysis of the axial load data; the direction of ground slope to driving sequence of landing ram of actuators. But the dynamic behaviors on the two-directional slope were very different from them on the one-directional slope and more complex.

Most of large scale solar panel handling robots adopt the timing-belt drive system for its driveline because of the simplicity and the easiness of implementation. The vibration caused by the flexure of the timing belt would increase as the size and the weight of the panel that the robot handles increase and the vibration would deteriorate the precision and/or productivity of the whole robot system. For the development of a proper control system and for the improvement of the design of the robot it is important to estimate the oscillatory response of the robot system including the flexible drive system properly. In this paper a flexible multi-body dynamics model of a large-scale solar-panel-handling robot with the flexible timing-belt drive system is developed using a generic multi-body dynamics analysis program, RecurDyn.

In this paper, dynamic modeling with viscoelastic properties of a human body resting on a seat is presented to quantitatively analyze ride quality of passengers exposed to vertical vibrations. In describing the motions of a seated body, a 5 degree-of-freedom multibody model from the literature is investigated. The viscoelastic characteristics of seats used in railway vehicles are mathematically formulated with nonlinear stiffness characteristics and convolution integrals representing time delay terms. Transfer functions for the floor input are investigated and it is found that these are different in accordance with the input magnitude due to nonlinear characteristics of the seat. Measured floor input at the railway vehicle is used to analyze realistic human vibration characteristics. Frequency weighted RMS acceleration values are calculated and the effects of the seat design parameters on the frequency weighted RMS acceleration values are presented.

인공위성이 발사체로부터 분리되면, 인공위성은 가장 먼저 태양 전지판을 전개한 후 전력을 생산한다. 전력은 인공위성의 운영에 반드시 필요하므로, 태양전지판의 성공적인 전개는 인공위성의 성공적 임무 수행의 필수 요소이다. 따라서, 태양전지판 또는 태양전지판의 전개장치 개발시에는 태양전지판이 이상없이 전개되는지를 확인할 수 있는 태양전지판 전개해석을 반드시 필요로 한다. 현재 개발중인 저궤도 지구관측위성의 경우, 3장의 태양전지판이 사용이 되며, 각 태양전지판의 전개 및 고정은 힌지 및 스트럿으로 이루어진 태양전지판 전개장치에 의하여 이루어진다. 이 논문에서는 다물체 동역학 해석프로그램인 Recurdyn을 이용하여, 상세 태양전지판 전개해석을 수행하고자 한다. 이전 연구에서는 기본적인 전개해석 모델을 수립하여, 태양전지판의 기본 전개거동을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나, 태양전지판이 완전히 전개된 이후에 고정되는 부분의 모델링이 복잡하여, 단순하게 가정하여 전개해석을 수행하였다. 이러한 가정은 태양전지판의 전개 입장에서는 좀 더 극한상황이 되었으며, 이러한 환경하에서도 충분히 태양전지판이 잘 전개됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 논문에서는 간략화된 태양전지판 고정장치 및 기타 다른 부분들을 좀 더 상세모델링 하여, 전개 거동이 좀 더 실제에 가깝도록 하였다.

The effects of the statistical properties of the Coulomb friction coefficients on the dynamic responses of a galloping quadruped robot are investigated in this paper. In general, the Coulomb friction coefficients are assumed to be deterministic for a controller design to achieve required motion characteristics. However, the friction coefficients between the ground and the robot legs are not constant in reality. Therefore, statistical characteristics of the friction coefficients need to be considered for a multi-body modeling of the robot galloping on the ground. The effects of the statistical properties on the dynamic responses of the quadruped robots are investigated.

Since the performance of the circuit breaker mainly depends on the spring operating mechanism, the analysis of the spring operating mechanism is required. The spring, especially closing spring, stores the deformation energy due to the compression and then accelerates the big loads rapidly in the circuit breaker. To accurately carry out the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the circuit breaker, the precise modeling of the spring behavior is necessary. In this paper, the static stiffness of the spring is captured by using the tester. A simple mechanism similar to the spring operating mechanism was designed to generate the release motion of the spring. A high speed camera was used to capture the behavior of the spring. Three types of spring models such as a linear spring model, modal spring model, and nodal spring model are suggested and compared with the experimental results.
