The authors present a three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) model of an in-contact headslider/disk interface (HDI) system by which the dynamic characteristics of the in-contact headslider-suspension assembly can be obtained. Four regimes with respect to the interface of headslider and disk surface are shown to take the meniscus force of lubricant on the disk surface into account. The equations of motion of the in-contact headslider considering the meniscus force at each regime and the calculation results for the disk with sinusoidal undulation are described.

This work carries on a numerical simulation of the touchdown/takeoff (TD/TO) hysterisis of the spherical pad slider. It numerically studies the meniscus bridge’s formation and meniscus force interaction between the spherical pad and lubricant over the disk surface. It proposes a geometry model for the lubricant bridge, and correspondingly, a force model for the meniscus force acting on the spherical pad slider due to the lubricant bridge. By solving the liquid balance state at the meniscus boundary, it obtains the geometry of the liquid bridge. A parametric study is done to study the effects of the geometry of spherical pad, Hamaker constant of lubricant-disk, and surface energy of lubricant on the formation of the liquid bridge. The overflow phenomenon is analyzed to find out the acceptable dimension of the spherical pad design. Moreover, a three-dimensional (3D) model of spherical pad slider/disk interface is built to study the steady-state flying of the spherical pad slider. The different parameters are analyzed to study their effects on the TD/TO hysteresis.

In this paper we present a theoretical investigation of the stability and the dynamics of the non-linear behavior of a slider at very low head media spacing. A single DOF head disk interface (HDI) model, with constant air bearing stiffness and damping has been used to study the effect of disk waviness on the nonlinear slider dynamics in the presence of intermolecular and electrostatic forces. A variational approach based on the principle of least action was used to derive the equations of motion of the slider. Further, a stability criteria was derived that helped to better understand the instabilities that appear in slider when the slider is flying in close proximity to the disk surface. Due to extremely nonlinear nature of the interaction between the slider and the disk, we observed some strange features of the motion of the slider. In particular the effects of the nonlinear interaction force, air bearing stiffness and damping on the instabilities of the periodic motions of the slider are discussed in detail. We found that the branch associated to the disk waviness frequencies larger than the resonance frequency is always stable and the branch associated to the disk waviness frequencies smaller than the resonance frequency exhibits two stable domains and one unstable domain. This analysis was further extended to include the nonlinear nature of air bearing stiffness and damping as well as contact at the HDI.

Our paper realizes a study of the vibrations of an engine excited by a harmonic force and sustained by four identical neo-Hookean springs of negligible masses. The considered model is one with three degrees of freedom (one translation and two rotations) and we obtain for it the equations of motion. Using these equations, we determine for the unexcited system the equilibrium positions and their stability. We also study the small oscillations about the stable equilibrium positions and we find the fundamental eigenpulsations of the system. For the case of the excited system we perform a numerical study considering the situation when the pulsation of the excitation is far away from the eigenpulsations and the situation when the pulsation of the excitation is closed to one eigenpulsation, highlighting the beat phenomenon.

This paper is a further development of the kinematic problem presented in our 1967 paper [1] in which we have obtained the transmission functions for different orders of plane systems with many degrees of freedom. This paper establishes the corresponding system of differential equations of motion beginning with these functions. The purpose of this paper is to facilitate computer programming. Our study is based on the work of R. Beyer [2, 3] and is the first original addition to his papers. A second original contribution to Beyer’s theories is the deductive method of solution, from general to particular, which we have, incorporated in our work. Beyer concluded that the cases having two or three degrees of freedom can be considered as particular solutions to the results obtained.

Three Degrees Of Freedom

The dynamic response of a nonlinear system with three degrees of freedom, which is excited by nonideal excitation, is investigated. In the considered system the role of a nonideal source is played by a direct current motor, where the central axis of the rotor is not coincident with the axis of rotation. This translation generates a torque whose magnitude depends on the angular velocity. During the system operation a general coordinate assigned to the nonideal source grows rapidly as a result of rotation. We propose the decomposition of the equations of motion in such a way to extract the solution which is directly related to the rotation of an unbalanced rotor. The remaining part of the solution describes pure oscillation depending on the dynamical behaviour of the whole system. The decomposed equations are solved numerically. The influence of selected system parameters on the rotor vibration is examined. The presented approach can be applied to separate vibration and rotation of motions in many other engineering systems.

A model of a roll simulator for recreational off-highway vehicles (ROV) is presented. Models of each sub-system are described including the equations of motion, the braking, hydraulic and roll motor systems. Derivation of the equations of motion, obtained using Lagrange’s energy equation, demonstrates that they have three degrees-of-freedom (two dynamic, one static) and are coupled and highly non-linear. Results from the hydraulic sub-system illustrated that the amount of entrapped air in the system can significantly influence the response. Comparisons of the model with experimental data from the actual roll simulator showed close agreement. The greatest difference was with motor pressure. The acceleration levels and roll motions for both the model and experimental data showed excellent correlation.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a motorized spindle with externally pressurized air bearings. The externally pressurized air bearings consist of a journal bearing and a double pad thrust bearing with orifice restrictors. The equations of motion for the rotor-bearing system are established considering five degrees-of-freedom (DOF). The perturbation method and the finite difference method are introduced to calculate the static and dynamic characteristics of the air bearings; and the effects of the rotating speed and tilt angle of the rotor on the dynamic characteristics of the air bearings are analyzed. With the dynamic coefficients of the air bearings and the 5DOF rotor-dynamic model obtained, the stability, the unbalance response, and the forced response of the rotor-bearing system are investigated. Finally, the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle are verified by an experimental study.

Abstract Forging hammers are machines whose operation causes negative effects both at the place of their foundation (the soil settlement) and in their surroundings (e.g., vibrations propagating to the other devices, noise, etc.). Knowledge of the parameters characterizing the time history of the force that arises as a result of impact of a ram on a shaped material is of fundamental importance for the correct analysis of both the structure of the hammer and its impact on the surroundings. In the paper, the effect of the shape and duration of a pulse load on the dynamic response of a hammer-foundation forging system was assessed. An analytical method of description of the forces that arise as a result of impact of the ram on the forged material, using different forms of pulses was presented. The forces defined in this way as loads in a mathematical model of three degrees of freedom forging system were used. The equations of motion derived from d’Alembert’s principle were solved numerically in the Matlab program. The analyses for eight forms of the pulse loads with the same pulse sizes but different durations were performed. The results in the graphs were presented. It was found, among other things, that a greater impact on the maximum displacement, velocity and acceleration of each component of the hammer-foundation system as well as on the maximum forces transmitted to the soil has the duration of a pulse than its shape.

Dynamic characteristics of a bicycle such as handling and stability can be studied during the design phase to comprehend specific aspects associated with the overall layout as well as the frame architecture. Bicycles demonstrate unique properties such as static instability that is overcome by getting them into motion with a minimum velocity threshold. The structural stiffness of a frame plays a critical role in the handling behavior of a bike. However, the influence of structural stiffness has received limited attention in the existing literature. This paper attempts to fill the gap by presenting analytical results from a study that includes the influence of rider positions on three bicycle layouts. The analytical model consists of four rigid bodies: rear frame, front frame (front fork and handle bar assembly), front wheel and rear wheel. The overall model exhibits three degrees-of-freedom: the roll angle of the frame, the steering of the front frame, and the rotation of the rear wheel with respect to the frame. The rear frame is divided into two parts, the rider and the bicycle frame, that are assumed to be rigidly connected. This is done in order to allow the model to account for varying rider positions. The influence of frame flexibility is studied by coupling the structural stiffness of the frame to the governing equations of motion. Layouts from a benchmark bicycle, a commercially manufactured bicycle, and a cargo bicycle are used for this study in conjunction with rider positions ranging from a relaxed position to an extreme prone position. All the results are analyzed and compared with some proven analytical and experimental results in the existing literature. Results indicate that some of the rider positions can play a significant role in influencing the dynamic characteristics of the bike. Structural stiffness is seen to significantly affect the weave mode, only when the stiffness is reduced substantially.
