ANCF Tire Assembly Model for Multibody System Applications

Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, 2015
The aim of this paper is to propose a new numerical approach for modeling tires in multibody system (MBS) applications. In this approach, the tires, including the rigid rim, are modeled using one mesh developed using the finite element (FE) absolute nodal co-ordinate formulation (ANCF).

ANCF Modeling of the Contact Geometry and Deformation in Biomechanics Applications

Volume 2: 32nd Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, Parts A and B, 2012
The purpose of this investigation is to demonstrate the use of the finite element (FE) absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) and multibody system (MBS) algorithms in modeling both the contact geometry and ligaments deformations in biomechanics applications. Two ANCF approaches can be used to model the rigid contact surface geometry. In the first

On the formulation of the planar ANCF triangular finite elements

Nonlinear Dynamics, 2017
This article is concerned with the performance of two new ANCF triangular elements, namely the four-node mixed-coordinate (FNMC) and three-node (TN) elements. Both elements are based on a cubic polynomial interpolation obtained from a cubic Bezier triangular patch using a linear mapping.

Aniotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity: Aortic ancf Endocardial Endothelium Compared

Endothelium, 1996
Vascular endothelial cells release bradykinin (BK), which acts in an autocrine manner to raise intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and release NO, effects which can be modified by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Little is known of the effects of BK and ACE inhibitors on endocardial endothelium however.

The Simplest 3- and 4-Noded Fully-Parameterized ANCF Plate Elements

Volume 6: 1st Biennial International Conference on Dynamics for Design; 14th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle Technologies, 2012
In this research, the simplest kinematical models of triangular and rectangular plate finite elements using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) are presented. The ANCF is the finite-element large-displacement-and-rotation approach, which uses the inertial-frame nodal position vectors and their derivatives (slopes) only, without employing ...
