Constraint gradient projective method for stabilization of constraint violation during integration of constrained multibody systems is in the focus of the paper. Different mathematical models for constrained MBS dynamic simulation on manifolds are surveyed and violation of kinematical constraints is discussed. As an extension of the previous work focused on the integration procedures of the holonomic systems, the constraint gradient projective method for generally constrained mechanical systems is discussed. By adopting differentialgeometric point of view, the geometric and stabilization issues of the method are addressed. It is shown that the method can be applied for stabilization of holonomic and non-holonomic constraints in Pfaffian and general form.

Short Presentation

Differential-geometric characteristics and structure of optimized generalized coordinates partitioned vectors for generally constrained multibody systems are discussed. Generalized coordinates partitioning is well-known procedure that can be applied in the framework of numerical integration of DAE systems. However, although the procedure proves to be a very useful tool, it is known that an optimization algorithm for coordinates partitioning is needed to obtain the best performance. After short presentation of differential-geometric background of optimized coordinates partitioning, the structure of optimally partitioned vectors is discussed on the basis of gradient analysis of separate constraint submanifolds at configuration and velocity level when holonomic and non-holonomic constraints are present in the system. While, in the case of holonomic systems, the vectors of optimally partitioned coordinates have the same structure for generalized positions and velocities, when non-holonomic constraints are present in the system, the optimally partitioned coordinates generally differ at configuration and velocity level and separate partitioned procedure has to be applied. The conclusions of the paper are illustrated within the framework of the presented numerical example.

Abstract We investigate in this paper the different approaches that can be derived from the use of the Hamiltonian or canonical equations of motion for constrained mechanical systems with the intention of responding to the question of whether the use of these equations leads to more efficient and stable numerical algorithms than those coming from acceleration based formalisms. In this process, we propose a new penalty based canonical description of the equations of motion of constrained mechanical systems. This technique leads to a reduced set of first order ordinary differential equations in terms of the canonical variables with no Lagrange’s multipliers involved in the equations. This method shows a clear advantage over the previously proposed acceleration based formulation, in terms of numerical efficiency. In addition, we examine the use of the canonical equations based on independent coordinates, and conclude that in this second case the use of the acceleration based formulation is more advantageous than the canonical counterpart.

Invariant Formulation

A gauge-invariant formulation for deriving the dynamic equations of constrained multibody systems in terms of (reduced) quasivelocities is presented. This formulation does not require any weighting matrix to deal with the gauge-invariance problem when both translational and rotational components are involved in the generalized coordinates or in the constraint equations. Moreover, in this formulation the equations of motion are decoupled from those of constrained force, and each system has its own independent input. This allows the possibility to develop a simple force control action that is totally independent from the motion control action facilitating a hybrid force/motion control. Tracking force/motion control of constrained multibody systems based on a combination of feedbacks on the vectors of the quasivelocities and the configuration-variables are presented.

Abstract This paper presents an efficient extension of Rosenthal’s order-n algorithm for multibody systems containing closed loops. Closed topological loops are handled by cut joint technique. Violation of the kinematic constraint equations of cut joints is corrected by Baumgarte’s constraint violation stabilization method. A reliable approach for selecting the parameters used in the constraint stabilization method is proposed. Dynamic analysis of a slider crank mechanism is carried out to demonstrate efficiency of the proposed method.
