Implementation of effective procedures for unilateral contact modeling in multibody dynamics

Modeling Intermittent Contact for Flexible Multibody Systems

This paper consists of two parts. The first part presents a complementarity based recursive scheme to model intermittent contact for flexible multibody systems. A recursive divide and conquer framework is used to explicitly impose the bilateral constraints in the entire system. The presented approach is an extension of the hybrid scheme for rigid multibody systems to allow for small deformation...

Contact Graphs in Multibody Dynamics Simulation

For this costumer placed in Belfast, UK, simulation has been used to investigate the manufacturing process, to evaluate bottlenecks and to prepare the background for simulation based, in-line scheduling. The actual problem at the shop floor deals with synchronizing work flows and optimizing production in conjunction with customer orders . Over 1700 different kinds of orders can be manufactured ...

A Contribution to Computational Contact Procedures in Flexible Multibody Systems

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Forward Dynamics Algorithms for Multibody Chains and Contact

We describe a framework for derivation of several forward dynamics algorithms used in robotics. The framework is based on formulating an augmented system and performing block matrix elimination on this system. Several popular algorithms such as the O(N) Articulated Body method, and Composite Rigid Body method can be easily derived. We also derive an algorithm for simulation of contact between s...
