Using a flexible rotating beam test bed, experimental verification of a flexible multibody dynamic simulations for a rotating beam model has been carried out. The test bed consists of a flexible arm, harmonic driver reducer, AC servo motor and DSP board with PC. The mechanical ports of the test bed has been designed using 3D CAD program. For the simulation model, mass and moment of inertia of each part of the flexible rotating beam test bed are also obtained from 3D CAD model. In the flexible multibody dynamic simulations, the substructuring model has been established to capture nonlinear effects of the flexible rotating beam. Through the experimental verification, substructuring model provides better results than those from the linear model in the high speed rotation.

In this study, a multi-body dynamic model is developed for a washing machine and the dynamic behaviors of the machine are investigated. The mechanical properties such as spring constants and damping factors are measured from vibrational experiments. With these experimentally obtained mechanical properties, a computer simulation model for the washing machine is established by using a commercial multi-body dynamics software DAFUL. In order to verify the developed simulation model, the dynamic responses computed from simulation are compared to the responses measured from vibration experiments. In addition, the effects of the stiffness and damping factors on the dynamic responses are also analyzed.

Typical helicopter simulation programs rely on differential equations of a closed form. However, since these equations are derived using various assumptions, their usefulness is limited to small flight regions and specific model types. This paper presents a component based rotorcraft simulation program. The program adopts methods of multi-body dynamics and is written in an object-oriented programming language. The program was validated using an AH-1G helicopter simulation. The trim results are well matched with flight test data. It is also shown that program is capable of running in real-time on a desktop computer.

In this paper, computer simulation model of handrail band including pulley-driving system is developed to calculate handrail slippage. This handrail simulation model is validated with test result within operating range and used to predict its slippage behavior with respect to variation of 4 different design parameters considering the applicability into the real handrail system. Based upon this parameter study, optimal condition for handrail slippage improvement is proposed without time-consuming and costly experiments of the real handrail system. And then performance improvement of handrail slippage complied with safety code is achieved after applying the optimal condition into the real handrail band system.

A Internet-based dynamic simulation system, called P-DYN, for multibody dynamic systems is developed. All the interfaces of the system are accessible via Web browsers, such as Netscape or Explorer. The system uses a template type P-DYN/Modeler as a preprocessor. The P-DYN postprocessor composed of P-DYN/Plotter and P-DYN/Animator is developed in JAVA. The P-DYN/Solver for predicting the dynamic behavior is run on the server. Anyone who wants to simulate the dynamics of multibody systems or share results data can access the analysis system over the Internet regardless of their OS, platform, or location.

In this study, computational multi-body dynamics and structural vibration analyses including some impact condition have been conducted for the ground flight test system of the developed smart UAV model. Designed ground test system has four degree-of-freedom motions with limited motion control mechanism. Design safety margin designs for several structural components are tested and verified considering expected critical motions (pitching and rolling) of the test smart UAV model. Computational results for various analysis conditions are practically presented in detail. Futhermore, proper design modifications of the initially designed test equipment in order to guarantee or increase structural safety have been successfully conducted in the design stage.

In this study, a multibody dynamic model of the cervical spine was developed for a virtual in-vitro cadaveric experiment. The dynamic cervical spine model was reconstructed based on Korean CT images and the material properties of joints and soft tissue obtained from in-vitro experimental literature. The model was validated by comparing the inter-segmental rotation, multi-segmental rotations, load-displacement behavior, ligament force, and facet contact force with the published in-vitro experimental data. The results from the model were similar to published experimental data. The developed dynamic model of the cervical spine can be useful for injury analysis to predict the loads and deformations of the individual soft-tissue elements as well as for virtual in-vitro cadaveric experiments.

This paper presents a real-time multibody vehicle dynamic analysis method using recursive Kanes formulation and suspension composite joints. To shorten the computation time of simulation, relative coordinate system is used and the equations of motion are derived using recursive Kanes formulation. Typical suspension systems of vehicles such as MacPherson strut suspension system is modeled by suspension composite joints. The joints are derived and utilized to reduce the computation time of simulation without any degradation of kinematical accuracy of the suspension systems. Using the develop program, a multibody vehicle dynamic model is formed and simulations are performed. Accuracy of the simulation results is compared to the real vehicle field test results. It is found that the simulation results using the proposed method are very accurate and real-time simulation is achieved on a computer with single PowerPC 604 processor.
