There is an increasing demand for predicting the dynamic behaviours of carrier-based aircrafts(CBAs) during catapult launch. This paper presents a maximal parameterised dynamic model of the launch process from a new perspective, and conducts a detailed study of its mechanical behaviours. Based on the topological analysis of the multi-body catapult launch system, the natural coordinate method is adopted to establish a comprehensive model including steam catapult, landing gears, ship motion, aerodynamic and multi-body modules. The predictive capability of the model is demonstrated by presenting the CBA launch dynamic properties under different conditions. First, effects of steam flow area rate and the coupling carrier movement in different directions on catapult performance are discussed. Second, the take-off characteristics as well as the initial catapult attitude are analysed. Then, by investigating Lagrange multipliers, the loads of torque arms, holdback bar and launch bar are compared. Finally, the loads of buffer struts and tyres during launch are also discussed. The results show that it is reasonable to keep the steam flow area increasing in a linear way, but the opening velocity needs to be strictly controlled. When the CBA departs from the deck, the possible sink of the bow is the major threat to the take-off safety, the larger the sink is, the more dangerous the flight becomes. The upwash at the bow may be the primary reason of stall and cannot be ignored. The model established is reliable with capacities of capturing the coupled behaviours between different sub-modules as well as the load change of each component in detail. The natural coordinate method proves to be efficient and accurate, which should be given more attention.

Advances in the application of multi-body simulation technology to real world problems have led to an ever increasing demand for higher fidelity modeling techniques. Of these, accurate modeling of friction is of strategic interest in applications such as control system design, automotive suspension analysis, robotics etc. Joints (sometimes referred to as constraints) play an important role in defining the dynamics of a multi-body system. Hence, it is imperative to accurately account for friction forces arising at these joints due to the underlying interface dynamics. In this paper, we discuss the application of LuGre, a dynamic friction model to simulate joint friction. We choose the LuGre model due to its ability to capture important effects such as the Stribeck effect and the Dahl effect. The native 1-d LuGre model is extended to formulate friction computations for non-trivial joint geometries and dynamics in 2 and 3 dimensions. It is also extended to work in the quasi-static regime. Specific applications to revolute, cylindrical and spherical joints in multi-body systems are discussed. Finally, an engineering case study on the effects of joint friction in automotive suspension analysis is presented.

To meet the increasing demand for food around the world, pesticides are widely used and will continue to be widely used in agricultural production to reduce yield losses and maintain product quality. International pesticide trade serves to reallocate the distribution of pesticides around the world. We investigate the statistical properties of the international trade networks of five categories of pesticides from the view angle of temporal directed and weighted networks. We observed an overall increasing trend in network size, network density, average in- and out-degrees, average in- and out-strengths, temporal similarity, and link reciprocity, indicating that the rising globalization of pesticides trade is driving the networks denser. However, the distributions of link weights remain unchanged along time for the five categories of pesticides. In addition, all the networks are disassortatively mixed because large importers or exporters are more likely to trade with small exporters or importers. We also observed positive correlations between in-degree and out-degree, in-strength and out-strength, link reciprocity and in-degree, out-degree, in-strength, and out-strength, while node’s local clustering coefficient is negatively related to in-degree, out-degree, in-strength, and out-strength. We show that some structural and dynamic properties of the international pesticide trade networks are different from those of the international trade networks, highlighting the presence of idiosyncratic features of different goods and products in the international trade.

Zur qualitativen Vorhersage der Schwingungseigenschaften neuer Konstruktionen werden oftmals aufwendige Finite-Elemente- oder Mehrkörper-Simulationen vollständiger Werkzeugmaschinen durchgeführt. Mithilfe der hier vorgestellten Kopplungsrechnungen können experimentell und analytisch basierte Modelle miteinander verbunden werden. Insbesondere für Anpass- und Änderungskonstruktionen ergeben sich damit Vorteile bezüglich der Prognosegenauigkeit und des Modellierungsaufwands.   For the qualitative prediction of dynamic properties of new constructions, elaborate finite element or multi body simulation models are frequently applied. This paper deals with coupling calculations that combine analytical and experimental models. With these coupling calculations better predictions of dynamic properties are possible and less modeling effort is needed. This is particularly true if simple design adaptions or modifications shall be realized.
