Analyzing and Optimizing Multibody Systems [PDF]

Mechanics of Structures and Machines, 1992
Optimization of holonomic as well as non-holonomic multibody systems is presented as a nonlinear programming problem that can be solved with general-purpose optimization codes. The adjoint variable approach is used for calculating design derivatives of a rather general integral type performance measure with respect to design parameters.

Linear Mechatronic Modeling of Rectangular Tank Sloshing Dynamics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloshing dynamics in partially filled tanks can strongly influence system‐level behavior when fluid motion couples with rigid‐body dynamics. This paper presents a linear and acausal two‐dimensional sloshing model for rectangular tanks, based on the reformulation of established sloshing theory within a modular, multi‐domain modeling framework ...

Enhanced Control Strategies for Residual‐Vibration Suppression and Adaptive Tracking in Flexible Manipulator Under Unknown Bounded Disturbances

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a hybrid control strategy for flexible‐link manipulators that combines offline trajectory planning with adaptive tracking to suppress residual elastic vibration (REV) under unknown bounded disturbances. A rigid–flexible coupling dynamics model is first established using the floating‐frame method and Lagrange's equations ...

On the Modeling of Shells in Multibody Dynamics [PDF]

Volume 6A: 18th Biennial Conference on Mechanical Vibration and Noise, 2001
Abstract Energy preserving/decaying schemes are presented for the simulation of the nonlinear multibody systems involving shell components. The proposed schemes are designed to meet four specific requirements: unconditional nonlinear stability of the scheme, a rigorous treatment of both geometric and material non-linearities, exact ...

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

APTNet: A Condition‐Sensitive Modulation Framework for Surface Pressure Prediction on Supersonic Aircraft

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate surface‐pressure prediction over broad operating envelopes is critical for supersonic aerodynamic analysis and design. To overcome the bottlenecks of traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in real‐time performance and computational efficiency, data‐driven deep learning methods have emerged. However, existing data‐driven models
