Dynamic behavior of missile which is fired in canister is analyzed by flexible multibody dynamics. The bending elasticity of missile is very important in case that missile is fired in the inclined launcher. In this paper, the force element model for the missile launching stage and the finite element model of missile are developed. The FEA model of missile is condensed into five lumped mass element model and the consistence between FE model and lumped mass model of missile is verified by modal analysis. As a result of analysis, sabot reaction force and pitch rate of missile for the variation of gap size and force element are obtained.

This study investigated the structural behaviors and safety of an electro-mechanical linear actuator and a load simulator with a plate spring. The material and dimensions of the plate spring were determined by theoretically calculating the stress and torsional angle for the rating load of the actuator. Thereafter, a flexible multibody dynamics (FMBD) analysis was conducted on the linear actuator and load simulator to confirm the performance of the load simulator and acquire the reaction forces acting on the actuator and simulator. The structural safety of the linear actuator and load simulator was evaluated via finite element analysis using the aforementioned reaction forces. Consequently, the proposed linear actuator and load simulator were determined to be structurally safe; however, the safety factors for the actuation rod and the housing on the actuator were excessively high. Therefore, the weight and cost must be reduced to improve their design parameters in the future.

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.

This paper deals with the development of computational schemes for the dynamic analysis of flexible and nonlinear multibody systems. Different from the existing method, this paper introduces the quaternion algebra to develop the equation of the conservation of energy. Simultaneously, Rodrigues parameters are used to express the finite rotation for the proposed scheme. The proposed energy scheme is derived such that it provides unconditionally stable conditions for the nonlinear problems. Several examples of dynamic systems are presented which illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the developed energy schemes.

This study aims to investigate dynamic interaction characteristics between Maglev train and 3 span continuous guideway. The integrated model including a 3D full vehicle model based on multibody dynamics, flexible guideway by a modal superposition method, and levitation electromagnets with the feedback controller is proposed. The proposed model was applied to the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway to analyze the dynamic response of the vehicle and guideway from the numerical simulation. Using field test data of air gap and guideway deflections, obtained from the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway, the analysis method is verified. From the results, it is confirmed that Maglev railway system are designed and constructed safely according to the design criteria.

In general, the Maglev vehicle is run over an elevated guideway consisting of steel or concrete structure. Since the running behavior of the vehicle is affected by the flexibility of the guideway, the consideration of the flexibility of guideway is needed for evaluating the dynamics of both the vehicle and guideway. A new method based on flexible multibody dynamics is proposed to model the Maglew vehicle. This method combines the levitation controller, vehicle, and guideway into a coupled model To verify the method, an urban transit is analyzed using the method and discussions are carried out.

Flexible structures are often important components of mechanical assemblies in motion. A flexible structure sometimes must go through assembly steps that cause it to be in a pre-stressed condition when in the starting position for operation. A virtual prototype of the assembly must also bring the model of the flexible structure into the same pre-stressed condition in order to obtain accurate simulation results. This case study is presented regarding the simulation of a constant velocity joint, with a focus on the flexible boot. The case study demonstrates that careful definition of the initial conditions of the boot and flexible body contacts yields high-fidelity simulation results.

Dynamic analysis of a three-axle heavy truck is carried out with rigid body model and flexible body model. To see the effects of chassis flexibility, the chassis is modeled as flexible body. The mass matrix, stiffness matrix, and vibration normal modes of the chassis are obtained by a finite element analysis program, and four vibration normal modes are used in the flexible body model. The vehicle model consisting of a frame, a cab, suspensions, an engine, a deck, a seat, and tires, has total 77 degrees of freedom. The result shows that the peaked acceleration in the flexible model is lower than that of the rigid body model.

In recent years, mechanical systems such as high speed vehicles and railway trains moving on elastic beam structures have become a very important issue to consider. In this paper, a general approach, which can predict the dynamic behavior of a constrained mechanical system moving on a flexible beam structure, is proposed. Various supporting conditions for the foundation support are considered for the elastic beam structure. The elastic structure is assumed to be a non-uniform and linear Bernoulli-Euler beam with a proportional damping effect. Combined differential-algebraic equation of motion is derived using the multi-body dynamics theory and the finite element method. The proposed equations of motion can be solved numerically using the generalized coordinate partitioning method and predictor-corrector algorithm, which is an implicit multi-step integration method.
