In this paper, an efficient and accurate formulation for the transient analysis of constrained multibody systems is presented. The formulation employs Kane's method along with the null space method. Kane's method reduces the dimension of equations of motion by using partial velocity matrix: it can improve the efficiency of the formulation. Furthermore, the formulation partitions the coefficient matrix of linear and nonlinear equations into several sub-matrices using kinematic uncoupling. This can solve the equations more efficiently. The proposed formulation can be used to perform dynamic analysis of systems which can be partitioned into several sub-systems such as train systems. One numerical example is given to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the formulation, and another numerical example is given to show its application to the train systems.

Visual effects are important cues for providing occupant s with virtual reality in a vehicle simulator which imitates real driving. The viewpoint of an occupant is sensitively dependent upon the occupant´s posture, therefore, the total body motion must be considered in a graphic simulator. A real time simulation is required for the dynamic analysis of complex human body motion. This study attempts to apply a neural network to the motion analysis in various driving situations. A full car of medium-sized vehicles was selected and modeled, and then analyzed using ADAMS in such driving conditions as bump-pass and acceleration. A multibody system analysis software, MADYMO, was used in the motion analysis of an adult male dummy in the seated position. Position data of the head were collected as inputs to the viewpoint movement. Based on these data, a back- propagation neural network was ...

Dynamic analysis of a vehicle is carried out with rigid body and flexible body models. The chassis of the vehicle is treated as flexible body in the flexible body model, and vibration normal modes are considered to account for elastic deformation of the component. Using output from the modal analysis in the finite element program, input data for the dynamic analysis with flexible body is generated. To achieve the computational efficiency, SUPERELEMENT technique is used for the vehicle suspension subsisted. The computer simulation time with suspension superelement was much reduced due to the reduction of coordinates and no kinematic constraint in the system.

The objective of this paper is to develop a solution method for the differential-algebraic equation(DAE) derived from constrained muti-body dynamic systems. Mechanical systems are often modeled as bodies and joints. Differential equations of motion are formulated for bodies. Since the bodies are connected by joint, the differential variables must satisfy the kinematic constraint equations that come from the joints. Difficulties are arised due to drift of the differential variables off the constraint equations. An optimization method is adopted to correct the drift of the differential variables. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method a slider-crank mechanism is analyzed dynamically. Identical results are obtained as these from the commercial program DADS. Dynamic analysis of a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled. Vehicle(HMMWV) is carried out to show the practicalism of the proposed method.

In multibody dynamic analysis, one of the most important problems is to reduce computation times for real-time simulation. This paper presents the derivation procedure of equations of motion of a 6${\times}$6 autonomous vehicle in terms of chassis local coordinates which do not require coordinates transformation matrix to enhance efficiency for real-time dynamic analysis. Also, equations of motion are derived using the VT(velocity transformation) technique and symbolic computation method coded by MATLAB. The Jacobian matrix of the equations of motion of a system is derived from symbolic operations to apply the implicit integration method. The analysis results were compared with ADAMS results to verify the accuracy and approve the feasibility of real time analysis.

The dynamic contact between a high-speed wheel and an elastic beam is numerically analyzed by solving the whole equations of motion of the wheel and the beam subjected to the contact condition. For the stability of the numerical solution, the velocity and acceleration constraints as well as the displacement constraint are imposed on the contact point. Through the numerical examples, it is shown that the acceleration contact constraint including the Coriolis and centripetal accelerations are crucial for the numerical stability.

This research is concerned with the experimental investigation on the vibrations of a flexible two-link system for verifying the theoretical result from simplified equations of motion for the system along with the kinematical synthesis are proposed to simulate the elastic vibrations of a previous study. The structure consists of flexible two-links; The link 2 is attached to the end of the link 1. The link 1 is made of composite fiber reinforced polymer and the link 2 is an aluminum beam. In order to verify the theoretical result, a flexible two-link system operated by the AC and RC servo motors was constructed. Experimental results show that the dynamic modeling approach and the kinematical synthesis proposed in this paper are effective.

For the analysis of dynamic behavior of dynamic behavior of multibody systems by cartesian coordinate method, maximal sets of generalized coordinates and maximum numbers of differential equation and constraints must be considered. Therefore the inefficiency of the increase of CPU time is occurred. This paper is to analyze the dynamic system by using the relative coordinate method without violating the geometric condition of systems. The graph theory and system topology were used for this study. The dynamic systems could be analyzed by the automatic generation of the informations like equation of motion, constraints, and external forces etc. And the results were compared and verified with dynamic commercial package DADS.

A bushing is a device used in automotive suspension systems to reduce the load transmitted from the wheel to the frame of the vehicle. A bushing is a hollow cylinder, which is bonded to a solid steel shaft at its inner surface and a steel sleeve at its outer surface. The relation between the force applied to the shaft and the relative deformation of a bushing is nonlinear and exhibits features of viscoelasticity. A force-displacement relation for bushings is important for multibody dynamics numerical simulations. For the nonlinear viscoelastic axial response, Pipkin-Rogers model, the direct relation of force and displacement, has been derived from Lianis model and the sinusoidal input was used for Pipkin-Rogers model, and the affection of displacement with frequency change was studied with Pipkin-Rogers model.

A computational method for the dynamic analysis of a constrained mechanical system is presented in this paper. The partial velocity matrix, which is the null space of the Jacobian of the constraint equations, is used as the key ingredient for the derivation of reduced equations of motion. The acceleration constraint equations are solved simultaneously with the equations of motion. Thus, the total number of equations to be integrated is equivalent to that of the pseudo generalized coordinates, which denote all the variables employed to describe the configuration of the system of concern. Two well-known conventional methods are briefly introduced and compared with the present method. Three numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the solution accuracy, the computational efficiency, and the numerical stability of the present method.
