Nominal geometry and force measures for solids and fluids
Abstract Understanding solid‐ and fluid‐inertia forces and their coupling with the gravity potential in complex motion scenarios is necessary for evaluating system stability and identifying root causes of system failure and accidents. Because solids and fluids have an infinite number of degrees of freedom and distributed inertia and elasticity, having ...

A novel director-based Bernoulli–Euler beam finite element in absolute nodal coordinate formulation free of geometric singularities [PDF]
A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element for thin beams is proposed within the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). The deformation of the element is described by means of displacement vector, axial slope and axial rotation parameter per ...

Multibody system transfer matrix method: The past, the present, and the future
Abstract The multibody system transfer matrix method (MSTMM), a novel dynamics approach developed during the past three decades, has several advantages compared to conventional dynamics methods. Some of these advantages include avoiding global dynamics equations with a system inertia matrix, utilizing low‐order matrices independent of system degree of ...

Abstract To improve the carrying capacity, double pantographs are normally used to collect the electric current from the catenary. The mechanical wave excited by the leading pantograph affects the contact of the trailing pantograph and the contact wire, which usually deteriorates the current collection quality.

Stable Inversion for Flexible Multibody Systems Using the ANCF
Abstract Flexible robots are often non‐minimum phase systems. Thus, their inverse model must be computed by stable inversion. Here, a simplification to the stable inversion process is proposed, which enables its application to complex underactuated multibody systems.

Dimensionless approach for transient behaviour of flexible body with time-varying length
In this study, transient analysis of flexible body motion with time-varying length is conducted using dimensionless finite element model (FEM). First, the equation of motion for a flexible body with large deformation, displacement and time-varying length

The assessment of wind deflection of the railway overhead contact line (OCL) is of great importance to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the electrified railway. This paper performs a comparative study of the railway OCL wind deflection based on the traditional empirical formula and finite element method (FEM).
