The Cayley transform and the Cayley–transform kinematic relationships are an important and fascinating set of results that have relevance in N –dimensional orientations and rotations. In this paper these results are used in two significant ways. First, they are used in a new derivation of the matrix form of the generalized Euler equations of motion for N –dimensional rigid bodies. Second, they are used to intimately relate the motion of general mechanical systems to the motion of higher–dimensional rigid bodies. This approach can be used to describe an enormous variety of systems, one example being the representation of general motion of an N –dimensional body as pure rotations of an ( N + 1)–dimensional body.

In this study, we investigate the modeling framework for a robotic fish actuated by a flexible caudal fin, which is filled with electrorheological (ER) fluid and thus enables tunable stiffness. This feature can be used in optimizing the robotic fish speed or maneuverability in different operating regimes. The robotic fish is assumed to be anchored and the flexible tail undergoes undulation activated by a servomotor at the base. Lighthill’s large-amplitude elongated-body theory is used to calculate the hydrodynamic force on the caudal fin, and Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the dynamic equations of motion of the caudal fin. The dynamic equations are then discritized using the finite element method, to obtain an approximate numerical solution. In particular, simulation is conducted to understand the influence of the applied electric field on the stiffness and thrust performance of the caudal fin.

Lagrange’S Method

This paper develops the dynamic equations of motion for the planetary roller screw mechanism (PRSM) accounting for the screw, rollers, and nut bodies. First, the linear and angular velocities and accelerations of the components are derived. Then, their angular momentums are presented. Next, the slip velocities at the contacts are derived in order to determine the direction of the forces of friction. The equations of motion are derived through the use of Lagrange's Method with viscous friction. The steady-state angular velocities and screw/roller slip velocities are also derived. An example demonstrates the magnitude of the slip velocity of the PRSM as a function of both the screw lead and the screw and nut contact angles. By allowing full dynamic simulation, the developed analysis can be used for much improved PRSM system design.

Force Displacement

In this study, we derive the general equations of motion for the helical spring with a cup damper by considering the damper’s dilation and varying pitch angle of the helical spring. These dynamic equations are simplified to correlate with previous models. The static force-displacement relation is also derived. The extra stiffness due to the damper’s dilation considered in the force-displacement relation is the first such modeling in this area. In addition, a method is presented to predict the compressing spring’s coil close length and is then verified by experimental data. Moreover, the simulation results of the static force-displacement relation are found to correspond to the experimental data. The maximum error is around 0.6 percent.

Matrix Iteration

A transfer matrix-direct integration combined method is proposed, which employs the transfer matrix method to derive the equations of motion of a “characteristic disk,” and uses the direct integration method to determine the critical speeds, modes and unbalance response of a rotor-bearing system, and to analyze its stability. Despite the complexity of the system, the number of governing equations is not greater than eight. For a single-spool rotating system, the number of equations is only four. A transfer matrix for a uniform shaft is derived to consider its distributed mass, moment of inertia and the effect of shearing force. An impedance matrix iteration method is proposed to consider the effect of a complicated bearing-supporting system on the rotor dynamics. Two examples are given, and the results agree satisfactorily with the experiments.

Abstract This article investigates the dynamic properties of robotic manipulators of parallel architecture. In particular, the dependency of the dynamic equations on the manipulator’s configuration within the workspace is analyzed. The proposed approach is to linearize the dynamic equations locally throughout the workspace and to plot the corresponding natural frequencies and damping ratios. While the results are only applicable for small velocities of the manipulator, they present a first step towards the classification of the nonlinear dynamics of parallel manipulators. The method is applied to a sample manipulator with two degrees-of-freedom. The corresponding numerical results demonstrate the extreme variation of its natural frequencies and damping ratios throughout the workspace.

Parabolic Trajectory

Except for the circle, for which the true anomaly v is proportional to the time t, the position of a body in orbit about a central body at a given time is simplest to derive for a parabola. The classical determination of the time of flight on a parabolic trajectory is through the integration of the dynamic equations of motion. (See Appendix.)

This paper presents an optimal attitude maneuver by Reaction Wheels to achieve desired attitude for a Satellite. At first, Dynamic Equations of motion for a satellite with just three Reaction Wheels of its active actuators are educed, and then State Equations of this system are obtained. An optimal attitude control with the LQR method has exerted for a distinct satellite by its Reaction Wheels. As a result simulation has presented an optimal effort by calculated Gain matrix to achieve desired attitude for chosen Satellite. It shows that satellite becomes stable in desired attitude with a low energy and time consumption. Furthermore equations derivation, coupling of electrical Reaction Wheel equations with dynamic equations of satellite motion, linearizes them and Reaction wheel saturation avoidance approaches are innovative. Simulation results, accuracy of achieving desired attitude and satellite stability support this statement.
