Dynamics of Flexible Multibody Systems with Non-Holonomic Constraints: A Finite Element Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article it is shown how non-holonomic constraints can be included in the formulation of the dynamic equations of flexible multibody systems. The equations are given in state space form with the degrees of freedom, their derivatives and the kinematic coordinates as state variables, which circumvents the use of Lagrangian multipliers. With these independent state variables for the system the derivation of the linearized equations of motion is straightforward. The incorporation of the method in a finite element based program for flexible multibody systems is discussed. The method is illustrated by three examples, which show, among other things, how the linearized equations can be used to analyse the stability of a nominal steady motion.

Development of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications
The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...
متن کاملParallel computation approaches for flexible multibody dynamics simulations
Finite element based formulations for flexible multibody systems are becoming increasingly popular and as the complexity of the configurations to be treated increases, so does the computational cost. It seems natural to investigate the applicability of parallel processing to this type of problems; domain decomposition techniques have been used extensively for this purpose. In this approach, the...

In this paper a general formulation for finding the maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of flexible link mobile manipulators is presented. The main constraints used for the algorithm presented are the actuator torque capacity and the limited error bound for the end-effector during motion on the given trajectory. The precision constraint is taken into account with two boundary lines in plane w...

متن کاملComputer Implementation of the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation for Flexible Multibody Dynamics
Deformable components in multibody systems are subject to kinematic constraints that represent mechanical joints and specified motion trajectories. These constraints can, in general, be described using a set of nonlinear algebraic equations that depend on the system generalized coordinates and time. When the kinematic constraints are augmented to the differential equations of motion of the syst...
