Backlash in gears creates nonlinear dynamics in mechanical systems and has been analyzed using a variety of methods and models. In this paper, we present a nonlinear, piecewise model for backlash dynamics that incorporates a coefficient of restitution to account for impact behavior during limit cycling. We analyze the energy absorbed by the collisions and derive a constraint for feedback controllers. We conclude with simulation results using this modeling approach.

In this contribution, measurement data of phase, neutral, and ground currents from real low voltage (LV) feeders in Germany is presented and analyzed. The data obtained is used to review and evaluate common modeling approaches for LV systems. An alternative modeling approach for detailed cable and ground modeling, which allows for the consideration of typical German LV earthing conditions and asymmetrical cable design, is proposed. Further, analytical calculation methods for model parameters are described and compared to laboratory measurement results of real LV cables. The models are then evaluated in terms of parameter sensitivity and parameter relevance, focusing on the influence of conventionally performed simplifications, such as neglecting house junction cables, shunt admittances, or temperature dependencies. By comparing measurement data from a real LV feeder to simulation results, the proposed modeling approach is validated.

The clamp band system is a typical locked and separated device of the launch vehicle (LV) / the spacecraft (SC), and its release-separation process is one of the important factors that affect the LV/SC separation movement. A nonlinear spring-damper model was employed to describe the contact-impact behavior between the V-segment of the clamp band and the LV/SC interface, and lumped mass method was used to depict the clamp band. By using ADAMS, a dynamic model of the clamp band system was established. The simulation results show that the impulse of the explosive bolts and the stiffness of lateral-restraining springs have significant effects on the clamp band dynamic envelope. The shock of the satellite-vehicle separation is very vulnerable to the clamp band pretension and the friction coefficient between the V-segment and the LV/SC interface.

— In this study, an optimized method to simulate the dynamic 3D event of the impact of a rod with a flat surface has been presented. Unlike the 2D FEM based contact models, in this study both the bodies undergoing the impact are considered elastic(deformable) and simulation is the dynamic event of the impact, instead of predefined 2D symmetric contact analysis. Prominent contact models and plasticity models to define material properties in ANSYS are reviewed. Experimentation results of normal and oblique impact of the rod for different rods provided the coefficient of restitution. Experimental results of permanent deformation on the base for different impact velocity is derived out of a prominent impact study. The simulation results are in co-relation with experiment and both indentation and flattening models on the coefficient of restitution (COR) and permanent deformation of the base and rod after the impact. Thus, the presented 3D Explicit Dynamic simulation of impact is validated to analyze the impact behavior of the 2 bodies without any predefined assumptions with respect to boundary conditions or material properties.

This paper investigates the effect of bearing clearance on the impact behavior of microfabricated silicon journal bearings. The design of a novel test apparatus to assess microbearing wear behavior is presented. Microbearing designs, microfabrication processes, and metrology characterization techniques are discussed. A dynamic impact model of the bearing system based on classical impulse-momentum relations is formulated in order to assess the effect of clearance on rotor speed. Coefficient of restitution values obtained over the range of kinematically allowable radial clearance specifications are found to agree well with previously published results for polysilicon microstructures.

This paper dynamically simulates a small running 2DW2C automobile (mouse) and simulates path tracking control. Our purpose was to optimize mouse design using simulation results. We added tire force and DC motor force to A1 Motion, a simulator for analyzing mechanical systems developed in our laboratory, and improved the simulator simulating a running automobile. Experiments with a small 2DW2C automobile compared experimental and simulation results involving dynamic characteristics of an actual mouse. We got correct simulation results using this model and simulator. We studied its running performance, affected by its wheelbase and caster length, and evaluated path tracking control using closoidal curves.
