Dynamical simulation of planar systems with changing contacts using configuration spaces

چکیده
This paper presents a contact analysis algorithm for pairs of rigid, curved, planar parts based on configuration space computation. The algorithm is part of a dynamical simulator for planar systems with changing contact topologies. The configuration space of a pair of parts is a data structure that encodes the contact configurations for all pairs of part features. The configuration spaces of the interacting pairs in the mechanical system are constructed before the simulation. At each time step, the simulator queries the configuration spaces for contact changes instead of performing collision detection. The simulator demonstrates the efficacy of the configuration space approach to contact analysis. It achieves real-time performance on systems with complex contact geometry, curved parts, and changing contacts. Journal of Mechanical Design, 120, 1998.

متن کاملLarge eddy simulation of propane combustion in a planar trapped vortex combustor
Propane combustion in a trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is characterized via large eddy simulation coupled with filtered mass density function. A computational algorithm based on high order finite difference (FD) schemes, is employed to solve the Eulerian filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, a Lagrangian Monte-Carlo solver based on the filtered mass density function is inv...

In this paper, a new technique has been designed to capture the outline of 2D shapes using cubic B´ezier curves. The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curv...

In this paper, we focus on naturally incorporating contact modes estimation in a dynamical simulation of an object with multiple contacts. More specifically, this paper presents an algorithm to simulate a meter stick trick using a Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP) formulation. A meter stick, modeled as a planar uniform horizontal rod in gravity, is supported by two point contacts or ”fingers...
