The wave-driven catamaran is a small surface vehicle driven by ocean waves. It consists of a hull and hydrofoils, and has a multi-body dynamic structure. The process of moving from static state to autonomous navigation driven by ocean waves is called “self-propulsion”, and reflects the ability of the wave-driven catamaran to absorb oceanic wave energy. Considering the importance of the design of the wave-driven catamaran, its self-propulsion performance should be comprehensively analysed. However, the wave-driven catamaran’s multi-body dynamic structure, unpredictable dynamic and kinematic responses driven by waves make it difficult to analyse its self-propulsion performance. In this paper, firstly, a multi-body dynamic model is established for wave-driven catamaran. Secondly, a two-phase numerical flow field containing water and air is established. Thirdly, a numerical simulation method for the self-propulsion process of the wave-driven catamaran is proposed by combining the multi-body dynamic model with a numerical flow field. Through numerical simulation, the hydrodynamic response, including the thrust of the hydrofoils, the resistance of the hull and the sailing velocity of the wave-driven catamaran are identified and comprehensively analysed. Lastly, the accuracy of the numerical simulation results is verified through a self-propulsion test in a towing tank. In contrast with previous research, this method combines multi-body dynamics with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to avoid errors caused by artificially setting the motion mode of the catamaran, and calculates the real velocity of the catamaran.

The combat vehicle gearbox, during the operation, generates vibration signals being related to the technical condition of gearbox. The analysis of the vibration signal could be used to determine accurately the behaviour of gearbox. Along with the development of the computer technology, the multi-body dynamic solution has been used widely to simulate, analyse, and determine the technical condition of gearbox. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the dynamic model of combat vehicle gearbox, and the simulation process based on the multi-body dynamic software, namely MSC.ADAMS. This proposed model allows the detection of failure conditions of individual gears and bearings in the gearbox. In this way, the fault conditions of the individual transmission components are identified. In the future, we would like to include a material wear module in the model, and we would like to model the life of the gearbox. We assume that we would also carry out accelerated tests of the gearbox to verify validity.

There are higher requirements on running stability of the rail vehicle with the incensement of the running speed. The running stability is one of the important indicators of evaluating the dynamic performance of the rail vehicle. In this paper, the whole multi-body dynamic model of the rail vehicle was proposed based on the theory of multi-body dynamics in the software of Simpack. And the lateral and vertical vibrate accelerations of the rail vehicle were simulated when it was inspired by the track irregularities. Then the running stabilities of the rail vehicle were estimated accurately. This will propose basis on the improving design and optimization design of the whole rail vehicle.

The rigid-flex coupled multi-body dynamic model of Motoman HP20 was built in this paper. The parts geometry shapes were modeled in 3D modeling software and imported into the multi-body platform. Then the joints were added to the parts. The arms were analyzed in FE software and modal neutral files were obtained. Then rigid parts were replaced by the modal neutral files. Driven curves of each arm joint were obtained by D-H method. The modal analysis of system was also made to analyze the robot dynamic characters. The results give some suggestions for robot motor selection and structural dynamic optimization.

Based on the theories of aerodynamics, bridge dynamics, and vehicle dynamics, the aerodynamic performances and the vibration characteristics of the wind–vehicle–bridge coupling system of two suspended monorail trains passing each other are analyzed. First, a wind model is presented with spectral representation method, the aerodynamic coefficients of bridge and vehicles before and after meeting are obtained through computational fluid dynamic method, and wind tunnel tests are conducted to verify the aerodynamic coefficients. Then, a vehicle dynamic model and a bridge dynamic model are established with the multi-body dynamic method and finite element method. Finally, a three-dimensional wind–vehicle–bridge coupled vibration model is established in this article using the multi-body dynamic software SIMPACK. The effects of average wind and fluctuating wind on the wind–vehicle–bridge system are studied. It is shown that the aerodynamic coefficients vary greatly under different combinations of vehicle–bridge system. The responses of the leeward vehicle change abruptly at the beginning and the end of the meeting of the two trains. And the mean wind speed has a great negative contribution to the acceleration of leeward vehicle. The lateral responses of suspended monorail vehicle are sensitive to the fluctuating wind. The roll angle of vehicle is presented for describing the running safety of the suspended monorail vehicles.

The multi-body dynamic model of the high-speed train is established in order to study the failure effects of anti-hunting damper. Four kinds of failure case of the anti-hunting damper are compared, specifically including: one anti-hunting damper of the front bogie is broken; two anti-hunting dampers of the front bogie are broken; three anti-hunting dampers of the front bogie are broken; all four anti-hunting dampers of the front bogie are broken. The results have shown: when only one anti-hunting damper is broken, the influence to the dynamic performance of the high speed train is small, but once two anti-hunting dampers or more out of work, the critical speed of the vehicle decreases much more and the curve-passing performance also become worse.
