In this paper we present the linearized equations of motion for a bicycle as a benchmark. The results obtained by pencil-and-paper and two programs are compared. The bicycle model we consider here consists of four rigid bodies, viz. a rear frame, a front frame being the front fork and handlebar assembly, a rear wheel and a front wheel, which are connected by revolute joints. The contact between the knife-edge wheels and the flat level surface is modelled by holonomic constraints in the normal direction and by non-holonomic constraints in the longitudinal and lateral direction. The rider is rigidly attached to the rear frame with hands free from the handlebar. This system has three degrees of freedom, the roll, the steer, and the forward speed. For the benchmark we consider the linearized equations for small perturbations of the upright steady forward motion. The entries of the matrices of these equations form the basis for comparison. Three diffrent kinds of methods to obtain the results are compared : pencil-and-paper, the numeric multibody dynamics program SPACAR, and the symbolic software system Auto Sim. Because the results of the three methods are the same within the machine round-off error, we assume that the results are correct and can be used as a bicycle dynamics benchmark.

A robust controller with the sliding mode is proposed for stable dynamic walking of the biped robot in this paper. For the robot system to be controlled, which is modeled as 14 DOF rigid bodies by the method of multi-body dynamics, the joint angle trajectories are determined by the velocity transformation matrix. Also Hertz force model and Hysteresis damping element are utilized for the ground reaction and impact forces during the contact with the ground. The biped robot system becomes unstable since those forces contain highly confused noise components and some discontinuity, and modeling uncertainties such as parameter inaccuracies. The sliding mode control is applied to solve above problems. Under the assumption of the bounded estimation errors on the unknown parameters, the proposed controller provides a successful way to achieve the stability and good performance in spite of the presence of modeling imprecisions of uncertainties.

Clearances are essential for the assemblage of mechanisms to allow the relative motion between the joined bodies. This clearance exists due to machining tolerances, wear, material deformations, and imperfections, and it can worsen the mechanism performance when the precision and smoothly-working are intended. Energy is a subject which is less paid attention in the area of clearance. The effect of the clearance on the energy of a flexible slider-crank mechanism is investigated in this paper. A clearance exists in the joint between the slider and the coupler. The contact force model is based on the Lankarani and Nikravesh model and the friction force is calculated using the modified Coulomb's friction law. The hysteresis damping which has been included in the contact force model dissipates energy in clearance joints. The other source for the energy loss is the friction between the journal and the bearing. Initial configuration and crank angular velocity are changed to see their effects on the energy of the system. Energy diagrams are plotted for different coefficients of friction to see its influence. Finally, considering the coupler as a flexible body, the effect of flexibility on the energy of the system is investigated.

파력발전시스템의 에너지 흡수 효율은 입사파의 파력과 발전기 구동 동력의 비로 정의된다. 흡수 효율은 파력발전시스템의 동적 거동에 의존하기 때문에 파력발전시스템의 에너지 흡수 효율을 예측하기 위해서 파력발전시스템의 동적 해석이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 흡수 효율을 예측하기 위하여 파력발전시스템의 동적 해석을 수행하였다. 파력발전시스템의 동적 해석을 위해서 상용 다물체동역학 해석 프로그램인 RecurDyn을 사용하였고, 부유체에 작용하는 파력을 모델링하기 위해서 Morison equation을 적용하였다. 효율분석 결과 파고가 낮고, 주기가 짧을수록 흡수효율이 높아지는 경향을 보인다.

In this study, an embedded system composed of equipment setting, block importing, scenario setting and output reporting is developed in multi-body dynamics program, ADAMS, for conducting dynamic structural analysis of block lifting process. First, equipment used for block lifting process is set in the simulation environment and the shapes and functions of two lifting beams, and six block loaders are provided as the equipment. Second, the modal analysis result of the lifting block is imported from the static structural analysis system, NASTRAN. Third, the lifting scenarios, such as hoisting, waiting, trolley moving, and wire connecting, are set in the system. Finally, output results in the forms of plots, texts and tables, are reported after the dynamic structural analysis. The test examples conducted in a shipyard are applied into the developed system in various condition and scenarios. The loads at the lug points, the stress contours, and the hot spot tables of the developed system are compared with the result of the static analysis system.

자기부상열차에 있어서 분기기는 차량이 가이드레일과 접촉 없이 안전하게 노선을 변경할 수 있도록 설계돼야 한다. 특히, 별도의 안내 전자석이 없이 하나의 U-형 전자석으로 부상력과 안내력을 동시에 얻는 중저속 상전도흡인식 자기부상열차에 있어서는 분기기 통과시 안전성에 대한 검토가 요구된다. 이 방식에서는 안내력을 능동적으로 제어하지 않기 때문에 작은 곡률 반경이면서도 다수의 직선을 연결하여 곡선을 형성하는 관절형 분기기 통과시 전자석의 횡공극이 과도하게 발생하여 가이드레일과 기계적 접촉을 일으킬 수 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 개발 중인 관절식 분기기에서 차량의 주행안전성 향상을 위하여 관절식 분기기의 주 설계 변수의 안전성에의 영향을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 그를 통하여 분기기에서의 주행안전성을 향상하고자 한다. 이를 수행하기 위하여 2 량 1 편성으로 구성된 3 차원 전체차량 다물체 동역학 모델의 적용이 제안된다. 제안된 모델을 이용하여 분기기 통과시의 주행안전성척도 중의 하나의 횡공극 시뮬레이션이 이루어진다. 분석되는 설계 변수들은 단경간 거더의 길이와 굴절각, 끝단 고정궤도 중심 사이의 거리, 거더의 수량이다. 이러한 설계 변수들의 영향을 분석하여 안전성 향상을 위한 분기기 설계 방향을 제시한다.

본 연구에서는 자동차 현가장치의 정적설계인자를 계산하기 위한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 기호계산기법을 사용하여 구속방정식의 자코비언에 대한 편미분을 계산하여 자코비언의 변형률 행렬을 유도하였다. 상용프로그램에서는 자코비언의 변형률 행렬을 계산하기 위하여 유한차분법 등을 사용하기도 하지만 본 연구에서는 이를 정확하게 고려하기 위하여 기호계산기법을 사용하여 계산하였다. 계산된 구속방정식 자코비언의 변형률 행렬을 사용하기 쉽도록 모듈화해 프로그램을 구성하였다. 계산된 자코비언 행렬을 사용한 결과를 1/4차량 더블위시본 현가장치에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 상용프로그램의 결과와 비교하여 정확성을 검증하였다. 향후 계산된 자세정보로부터 정적설계인자를 자동으로 추출하는 모듈과 함께 이를 이용하여 가상 테스트를 수행할 수 있는 융합 모듈을 추가할 예정이다.

This study aimed to investigate the random vibration characteristic of train-slab track-bridge interaction system subjected to both track irregularities and earthquakes by use of pseudo-excitation method (PEM). Each vehicle subsystem was modeled by multibody dynamics. A three-dimensional rail-slab- girder-pier finite element model was created to simulate slab track and bridge subsystem. The equations of motion for the entire system were established based on the constraint condition of no jump between wheel and rail. The random load vectors of equations of motion were formulated by transforming track irregularities and seismic accelerations into a series of deterministic pseudo-excitations according to their respective power spectral density (PSD) functions by means of PEM. The time-dependent PSDs of random vibration responses of the system were obtained by step-by-step integration method, and the corresponding extreme values were estimated based on the first-passage failure criterion. As a case study, an ICE3 high-speed train passing a fifteen-span simply supported girder bridge simultaneously excited by track irregularities and earthquakes is presented. The evaluated extreme values and the PSD characteristic of the random vibration responses of bridge and train are analyzed, and the influences of train speed and track irregularities (without earthquakes) on the random vibration characteristic of bridge and train are discussed.

Visual effects are important cues for providing occupants 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 human 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 lane-change for acquiring the accelerations of chassis of the vehicle model. A hybrid III 50%ile adult male dummy model was selected and modeled in an ellipsoid model. Multibody system analysis software, MADYMO, was used in the motion analysis of an occupant model in the seated position under the acceleration field of the vehicle model. Acceleration data of the head were collected as inputs to the viewpoint movement. Based on these data, a back-propagation neural network was composed to perform the real-time analysis of occupant motions under specified driving conditions and validated output of the composed neural network with MADYMO result in arbitrary driving scenario.
