The drive shaft system with a tripod joint is known to cause lateral vibration in a vehicle due to the axial force generated by various contact pairs of the tripod joint. The magnitude of the generated axial force, however, is related to various operating factors of the drive shaft system in a complex manner. The generated axial force due to a drive shaft system with a tripod joint and a ball joint was experimentally characterized considering ranges of operational factors, namely, the input toque, the shaft rotational speed, the articulation angle, and the friction. The data were analyzed to establish an understanding of the operational factors on the generated axial force. Owing to the observed significant effects of all the factors, a multibody dynamic model of the drive shaft system was formulated for predicting generated axial force under different operating conditions. The model integrated the roller–track contact model and the velocity-based friction model. Based on a quasi-static finite element model, a new methodology was proposed for identifying the roller–track contact model parameters, namely, the contact stiffness and force index. To further enhance the calculation accuracy of the multibody dynamic model, a new methodology for identifying the friction model parameters and the force index was proposed by using the measured data. The validity of the model was demonstrated by comparing the model-predicted and measured magnitudes of generated axial force for the ranges of operating factors considered. The results showed that the generated axial force of the drive shaft system can be calculated more accurately and effectively by using the identified friction and contact parameters in the paper.

The synchronizer mechanism represents the essential component in manual, automatic manual, and dual-clutch transmissions. This paper describes a multibody dynamic model for analysis of a synchronizer mechanism subjected to different operational conditions. The three-dimensional multi-dynamic model is developed to predict the dynamic response of synchronizer, especially for calculation of synchronization time. For the purpose of validation, three different synchronizers (single-cone, double-cone, and triple-cone synchronizers) were used on the test rig machine. For the purpose of synchronizing time estimation, an analytical formulation is proposed. The results of the analytical and multibody dynamic analyses were compared with the experimental data, showing a good agreement. The results of analytical and numerical approaches show that the predicted time of synchronization is more precise than previous works. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the single-cone synchronizer, and the effect of tolerance dimension on the dynamic behavior of the synchronizer was reported.

Excessive torque and drag in the wellbore can result in the buckling and the failure of the drillstring. Accurate predicting torque and drag is important in drilling operations. Due to the nature of the drilling, determination of torque and drag is a dynamic problem. A multibody dynamic model of the drillstring for the torque and drag analysis is developed here. Unlike traditional softstring models and stiffstring models, the developed model relaxes the assumption of continuous contact between the drillstring and the wellbore. Moreover, this model can account for overall rigid motion, three-dimensional (3D) rotation and large deformation of the drillstring with large-scale slenderness ratio and random contact between the drillstring and the wellbore. The effects of local protuberant components of the drillstring, such as the drillpipe subs and the stabilizers are also incorporated in the current model, which are not considered in most of existing models. Numerical analysis with three cases is carried out to show the application of the developed model in predicting torque and drag in the wellbore.

In this paper, a multibody dynamic model is established to simulate the dynamics and control of moving web with its guiding system, where the term moving web is used to describe thin materials, which are manufactured and processed in a continuous, flexible strip form. In contrast with available researches based on Eulerian description and beam assumption, webs are described by Lagrangian formulation with the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) plate element, which is based on Kirchhoff’s assumptions that material normals to the original reference surface remain straight and normal to the deformed reference surface, and the nonlinear elasticity theory that accounts for large displacement, large rotation, and large deformation. The rollers and guiding mechanism are modeled as rigid bodies. The distributed frictional contact forces between rollers and web are considered by Hertz contact model and are evaluated by Gauss quadrature. The proportional integral (PI) control law for web guiding is also embedded in the multibody model. A series of simulations on a typical web-guide system is carried out using the multibody dynamics approach for web guiding system presented in this study. System dynamical information, for example, lateral displacement, stress distribution, and driving moment for web guiding, are obtained from simulations. Parameter sensitivity analysis illustrates the effect of influence variables and effectiveness of the PI control law for lateral movement control of web that are verified under different gains. The present Lagrangian formulation of web element, i.e., ANCF element, is not only capable of describing the large movement and deformation but also easily adapted to capture the distributed contact forces between web and rollers. The dynamical behavior of the moving web can be accurately described by a small number of ANCF thin plate elements. Simulations carried out in this paper show that the present approach is an effective method to assess the design of web guiding system with easily available desktop computers.

AbstractA 16-degree-of-freedom dynamic model for the load contact analysis of a double helical gear considering sliding friction is established. The dynamic equation is solved by the Runge–Kutta method to obtain the vibration displacement. The method combines the friction coefficient model based on the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory with the dynamic model, which provides a theoretical basis for the calculation of the power loss of the transmission system. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis of the parameters that affect the transmission efficiency is carried out, and an optimization method of meshing efficiency is proposed without reducing the bending strength of the gears. This method can directly guide the design of the double helical gear transmission system.

The contact process of a space docking device needs verification before launching. The verification cannot only rely on the software simulation since the contact dynamic models are not accurate enough yet, especially when the geometric shape of the device is complex. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation is a choice to perform the ground test, where the contact dynamic model is replaced by a real device and the real contact occurs. However, the Hardware-in-the-loop simulation suffers from energy increase and instability since time delay is unavoidable. The existing delay compensation methods are mainly focused on a uniaxial or three-dimensional contact. In this paper, a force-based delay compensation method is proposed for the hardware-in-the-loop simulation of a six degree-of-freedom space contact. A six degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the spacecraft motion is derived, and a six degree-of-freedom delay compensation method is proposed. The delay is divided into track delay and measurement delay, which are compensated individually. Experiment results show that the proposed delay compensation method is effective for the six degree-of-freedom space contact.
