چکیده

Symbolic Lagrangian formulations of the equations of motion of tree structured constrained mechanical systems have the potential to be both more efficient and more numerically robust than formulations which use nonlinear kinematic constraint equations. We derive a simple recursive factorization of the Lagrangian equations of motion which, along with our extended implementation of the D* symbolic differentiation algorithm, yields empirically measured O(n) inverse dynamics and O(n3) forward dynamics. Complex kinematic constraints such as point on surface, point on curve, and surface on surface are easily handled by the new algorithm. Numerous examples demonstrate the wide range of mechanical systems the algorithm can be applied to. CR Categories: I.3.7 [COMPUTER GRAPHICS ]: ThreeDimensional Graphics and Realism—Animation

Synthesis of Recursive Symbolic Models for Articulated Robotic Systems

We discuss the importance of a recursive, symbolic model of articulated robot dynamics for various aspects of multibody system design. Drawing from and extending the results of recent, seemingly disparate, research into the structure of articulated rigid{body systems, a uniied model is presented. New and intuitive derivations are also presented. The model highlights the unique algebraic structu...

Symbolic Computer Language for Multibody Systems

Methods are developed for describing and manipulating symbolic data objects that are useful for analyzing the kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems. These symbolic objects include 1) vector/dyadic algebraic expressions, 2) physical components in a multibody system, and 3) program structures needed in a numerical simulation code. A computer algebra language based on these methods encourag...

Dynamics of Flexible Multibody Systems with Non-Holonomic Constraints: A Finite Element Approach

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 ...
