The dynamic characteristics of a six bar hinge mechanism as used in home cabinets were investigated using the method of equation of motion. The derived equations of motion were numerically solved and the motion of the hinge mechanism was simulated. The influence of mass and width of the cabinet door on the dynamic characteristics of the hinge mechanism as well as the effect of the hinge number on the force applied on the handle were also investigated. The experimental and simulation results showed good agreement with an error of under 2%, which validated the simulation results. The proposed approach can be used by hinge manufacturers for the design and analysis of similar hinge mechanisms.

Abstract This paper presents a method for analyzing the dynamic characteristics of driving systems consisting of multiple belts and pulleys. First, the algorithm which derives the linear equations of motion of arbitrary multi-coupled belt systems is shown. Secondly, by using the algorithm, the computer program which formulates the equations of motion and calculates the transient responses of the belt system is presented. The fundamental idea of the algorithm is as follows: Complicated belt systems consisting of multiple belts and pulleys are regarded as combinations of simple belt systems consisting of a single belt and some pulleys. Therefore, the equations of motion of the belt systems can be derived by the superposition of the equations of motion of the simple belt systems. By means of this method, the responses of arbitrary multi-coupled belt systems can be calculated. Finally, to verify the usefulness of this method, the simulation results are compared with the experimental results.

By taking into account the three main terms of the equation of motion of the prismatic rod, there is obtained for the frequency a cubic equation which is in good agreement with the experimental results when the thickness of the rod is not negligible compared with its length but does not exceed about one-fifth of the length. It corresponds to the equation obtained for a system with three degrees of freedom.For a composite vibration consisting of a wave of dilatation and a wave of distortion in the direction of the smallest dimension of the rod, and waves of dilatation in the two other directions, the equations of motion combined with some of the boundary conditions yield another cubic equation for the resonance frequencies.

ABSTRACTDistortion and rotation of a molecular dynamics cell used in Parrinello-Rahman molecular dynamics are found to lead to slow convergence, or nonconvergence of fluctuations from thermodynamic averages. The variations are shown to be related to nonconservation of the total angular momentum and translational symmetry variance of the dynamics. A modified equation of motion is presented which eliminates these variations. It is shown that the ergodicity is achieved in the MD ensemble generated by the new equations of motion. However, the rate of convergence is strongly affected by the choice of the MD cell mass W. Simulation results show that not all values of Wcan be used to give a desired convergence of fluctuations from thermodynamic averages in finite simulations. The fastest convergence is achieved by using the optimal cell mass.

In order to improve the measurement of precipitation microphysical characteristics sensor (PMCS), the sampling process of raindrops by PMCS based on a particle-by-particle Monte-Carlo model was simulated to discuss the effect of different bin sizes on DSD measurement, and the optimum sampling bin sizes for PMCS were proposed based on the simulation results. The simulation results of five sampling schemes of bin sizes in four rain-rate categories show that the raw capture DSD has a significant fluctuation variation influenced by the capture probability, whereas the appropriate sampling bin size and width can reduce the impact of variation of raindrop number on DSD shape. A field measurement of a PMCS, an OTT PARSIVEL disdrometer, and a tipping bucket rain Gauge shows that the rain-rate and rainfall accumulations have good consistencies between PMCS, OTT, and Gauge; the DSD obtained by PMCS and OTT has a good agreement; the probability of N0, μ, and Λ shows that there is a good agreement between the Gamma parameters of PMCS and OTT; the fitted μ-Λ and Z-R relationship measured by PMCS is close to that measured by OTT, which validates the performance of PMCS on rain-rate, rainfall accumulation, and DSD related parameters.

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison and analysis for the effect of time delay on the five most representative semi-active suspension control strategies, and refers to four unsolved problems related to semi-active suspension performance and delay mechanism that existed. Dynamic characteristics of a commercially available continuous damping control (CDC) damper were first studied, and a material test system (MTS) load frame was used to depict the velocity-force map for a CDC damper. Both inverse and boundary models were developed to determine dynamic characteristics of the damper. In addition, in order for an improper damper delay of the form t+τ to be corrected, a delay mechanism of controllable damper was discussed in detail. Numerical simulation for five control strategies, i.e., modified skyhook control SC, hybrid control (HC), COC, model reference sliding mode control (MRSMC), and integrated error neuro control (IENC), with three different time delays: 5 ms, 10 ms, and 15 ms was performed. Simulation results displayed that by changing control weights/variables, performance of all five control strategies varied from being ride comfort oriented to being road handling oriented. Furthermore, increase in delay time resulted in deterioration of both ride comfort and road handling. Specifically, ride comfort was affected more than road handling. The answers to all four questions were finally provided according to simulation results.

The objective of this study was to investigate the wear characteristics of the U-shaped rings of power connection fittings, and to construct a wear failure prediction model of U-shaped rings in strong wind environments. First, the wear evolution and failure mechanism of U-shaped rings with different wear loads were studied by using a swinging wear tester. Then, based on the Archard wear model, the U-shaped ring wear was dynamically simulated in ABAQUS, via the Umeshmotion subroutine. The results indicated that the wear load has an important effect on the wear of the U-shaped ring. As the wear load increases, the surface hardness decreases, while plastic deformation layers increase. Furthermore, the wear mechanism transforms from adhesive wear, slight abrasive wear, and slight oxidation wear, to serious adhesive wear, abrasive wear, and oxidation wear with the increase of wear load. As plastic flow progresses, the dislocation density in ferrite increases, leading to dislocation plugs and cementite fractures. The simulation results of wear depth were in good agreement with the test value of, with an error of 1.56%.

Abstract The “pole-skipping” phenomenon reflects that the retarded Green’s function is not unique at a pole-skipping point in momentum space (ω, k). We explore the universality of pole-skipping in different geometries. In holography, near horizon analysis of the bulk equation of motion is a more straightforward way to derive a pole-skipping point. We use this method in Lifshitz, AdS2 and Rindler geometries. We also study the complex hydrodynamic analyses and find that the dispersion relations in terms of dimensionless variables $$ \frac{\omega }{2\pi T} $$ ω 2 πT and $$ \frac{\left|k\right|}{2\pi T} $$ k 2 πT pass through pole-skipping points $$ \left(\frac{\omega_n}{2\pi T},\frac{\left|{k}_n\right|}{2\pi T}\right) $$ ω n 2 πT k n 2 πT at small ω and k in the Lifshitz background. We verify that the position of the pole-skipping points does not depend on the standard quantization or alternative quantization of the boundary theory in AdS2× ℝd−1 geometry. In the Rindler geometry, we cannot find the corresponding Green’s function to calculate pole-skipping points because it is difficult to impose the boundary condition. However, we can still obtain “special points” near the horizon where bulk equations of motion have two incoming solutions. These “special points” correspond to the nonuniqueness of the Green’s function in physical meaning from the perspective of holography.

Fall Arrest

Sports and mountaineering activities are becoming more and more popular. Equipment constructors seek to develop products and devices that are easy to use and that take into account all safety recommendations. PETZL and INSA have collaborated to develop a model for the simulation of displacements and efforts involved during the fall of a climber in the “safety chain”. The model is based on the classical equations of motion, in which climber and belayer are considered as rigid masses, while the rope is considered as a series of non-linear stiffness passing through several devices as brakes and runners. The main goal is to predict the forces in the rope and on the return anchor at the first rebound of the fall. Experiments were first performed in order to observe and determine the dynamic characteristics of the rope, and then to validate results stemming from simulations. Several fall configurations are simulated, and the model performs satisfactorily. It also provides a close approximation of the phenomena observed experimentally. The model enables the assessment of the existing equipments and the improved design of the future one.
