A high-fidelity model of a tracked vehicle traversing a flexible ground terrain with a varying profile is presented here. In this work, we employed a recursive formulation to model the track subsystem. This method yields a minimal set of coordinates and hence, computationally more efficient than conventional approaches. Also, in the vehicle subsystem, the undercarriage frame is assumed to be connected to the chassis by a revolute joint and a spring-damper unit. This increase in system mobility makes the model more realistic. To capture the vehicle-ground interaction, a Winkler-type foundation with springs-dampers is used. Simulation runs of the integrated tracked vehicle system for vibrations for four varying ground profiles are provided.

본 논문에서는 이구아나의 저 품질 동작 포착 데이터를 이용하여 고 품질의 애니메이션을 시뮬레이션 하는 방법을 제안한다. 적은 수의 마커를 부착하여 포착한 이구아나의 동작 데이터는 실제 움직임을 정확히 표현하지 못하고, 이 데이터에 스킨 매시(Skinned Mesh)를 입히더라도 부족한 자유도 때문에 부자연스러운 움직임을 보인다. 위와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 스킨 매시의 움직임을 근육과 몸체의 탄성력으로 모델링하는 연체 시뮬레이션(Soft Body Simulation)기법을 응용하여, 자연스럽고 유연한 움직임을 시뮬레이션 하는 과정을 본 논문은 소개한다. 이구아나의 다양한 이동 방법을 표현하기 위하여 동작 포착 데이터로부터 동작 그래프(Motion Graph)를 만들고, 이를 동작 생성시 상황에 적합한 동작을 선택하는데 활용한다. 지형 위에 사용자가 입력하는 좌표를 기초로 이구아나의 목표지점을 설정하고, 이를 바탕으로 그래프 경로를 계획한다. 그 결과 생성된 평지 위를 걷는 이구아나의 동작은 불규칙한 높이를 지닌 지형 위에서 적합한 동작으로 변형 된다. 이와 같이 지형에 적응된 동작은 연체 시뮬레이션 시 필요한 목표 근육길이를 계산하는데 활용된다. 마지막으로 연체 시뮬레이션 기업을 적용하여 다양한 상황에 대응 가능한 이구아나 물리 시뮬레이션을 구현하였다.

With the assistance of typhoon field data at aerial elevation level observed by meteorological satellites and wind velocity and direction records nearby the ground gathered in Guangzhou Weather Station between 1985 and 2001, some key wind field parameters under typhoon climate in Guangzhou region were calibrated based on Monte-Carlo stochastic algorithm and Meng's typhoon numerical model. By using Peak Over Threshold method (POT) and Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD), Wind field characteristics during typhoons for various return periods in several typical engineering fields were predicted, showing that some distribution rules in relation to gradient height of atmosphere boundary layer, power-law component of wind profile, gust factor and extreme wind velocity at 1-3s time interval are obviously different from corresponding items in Chinese wind load Codes. In order to evaluate the influence of typhoon field parameters on long-span flexible bridges, 1:100 reduced-scale wind field of type B terrain was reillustrated under typhoon and normal conditions utilizing passive turbulence generators in TJ-3 wind tunnel, and wind-induced performance tests of aero-elastic model of long-span Guangzhou Xinguang arch bridge were carried out as well. Furthermore, aerodynamic admittance function about lattice cross section in mid-span arch lib under the condition of higher turbulence intensity of typhoon field was identified via using high-frequency force-measured balance. Based on identified aerodynamic admittance expressions, Wind-induced stochastic vibration of Xinguang arch bridge under typhoon and normal climates was calculated and compared, considering structural geometrical non-linearity, stochastic wind attack angle effects, etc. Thus, the aerodynamic response characteristics under typhoon and normal conditions can be illustrated and checked, which are of satisfactory response results for different oncoming wind velocities with resemblance to those wind tunnel testing data under the two types of climate modes.
