Introducing the planes of symmetry into an oscillating rigid body suspended by springs simplifies the complexity of the equations of motion and decouples the modes of vibration into in-plane and out-of-plane modes. There have been some research results from the investigation into the conditions for planes of symmetry in which prior conditions for the simplification of the equations of motion are required. In this article, the conditions for the planes of symmetry that do not need prior conditions for simplification are presented. The conditions are derived from direct expansions of eigenvalue problems for stiffness and mass matrices that are expressed in terms of in-plane and out-of-plane modes and the orthogonality condition with respect to the mass matrix. Two special points, the planar couple point and the perpendicular translation point are identified, where the expressions for stiffness and compliance matrices can be greatly simplified. The simplified expressions are utilized to obtain the analytical expressions for the axes of vibration of a vibration system with planes of symmetry.

A general description of the dynamics of a deformable body experiencing large displacements is presented. These displacements are resolved into displacements due to deformation and displacements due to rigid body motion. The former are approximated with a linear combination of assumed displacement fields. D’Alembert’s principle is used to derive the equations of motion. For this purpose, the rigid body displacements and the displacements due to deformation have to be independent. Commonly employed conditions for achieving this are reviewed. It is shown that some conditions lead to considerably simpler equations of motion and a sparser mass matrix, resulting in CPU time savings when used in a multibody program. This is illustrated with a uniform beam and a crank-slider mechanism.

The geometrical properties of vibration modes of a single rigid body with one plane of symmetry are presented. When in-plane vibration modes are represented by the axes normal to the plane of symmetry, three intersecting points of those axes and the plane of symmetry constitute two triangles whose orthocentres are coincident with the mass centre and planar couple point, while the induced wrenches of three out-of-plane modes are found to form two triangles whose orthocentres are lying on the mass centre and the perpendicular translation point. Examining these triangles reveals that the triangular areas are proportional to the distributions of the mass and stiffness in the vibrating system and the shapes of the triangles are related to the natural frequencies. A numerical example is provided to verify the proposed findings.

This paper is concerned with non-linear coupling of in-plane rigid-body and flexural motion in capacitive MEMS ring sensors due to shock excitation. A Lagrangian approach is used to derive the equations of motion for the system, including non-linear electrostatic forces. The shock acceleration is modelled as a half-sine wave input and acts on the rigid-body motion only. The mechanism of modal coupling is derived theoretically, and numerical simulations are performed to quantify the coupling. Different electrode configurations are considered by including electrostatic plates both inside and outside the ring, and insights into modal coupling are gained.

AbstractDerivatives of equations of motion (EOM) describing the dynamics of rigid body systems are becoming increasingly relevant for the robotics community and find many applications in design and control of robotic systems. Controlling robots, and multibody systems comprising elastic components in particular, not only requires smooth trajectories but also the time derivatives of the control forces/torques, hence of the EOM. This paper presents the time derivatives of the EOM in closed form up to second-order as an alternative formulation to the existing recursive algorithms for this purpose, which provides a direct insight into the structure of the derivatives. The Lie group formulation for rigid body systems is used giving rise to very compact and easily parameterized equations.

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.

We analyze the existence of equilibrium points for a particle or dust grain in the framework of unperturbed and perturbed Robe’s motion. This particle is moving in a spherical nebula consisting of a homogeneous incompressible fluid, which is considered as the primary body. The second primary body creates the modified Newtonian potential. The perturbed mean motion and equations of motion are found. The equilibrium points (i.e. collinear, noncollinear and out–of–plane points), along with the required conditions of their existence are also analyzed. We emphasize that this analysis can be used to study the oscillations of the Earth’s core under the attraction of the Moon and it is also applicable to study the motion of underwater vehicles.

We apply the empirical quark mass matrices to the lepton sector and study the solar neutrino problem and the atmospheric vμ deficit problem simultaneously. We show that their consistent explanation is possible on the basis of these matrices. The lepton sector mass matrices need the phase structure which is different from the ones of the quark sector. However, even if the phase structure of the mass matrices is identical in both sectors, an interesting suppression mechanism of sin 2 2θ12 which is related to the solar neutrino problem can be induced from the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass matrix. We discuss such a possibility through the concrete examples.

Abstract The paper presents a new hybrid parallelizable low order algorithm for modeling the dynamic behavior of multi-rigid-body chain systems. The method is based on cutting certain system interbody joints so that largely independent multibody subchain systems are formed. These subchains interact with one another through associated unknown constraint forces f¯c at the cut joints. The increased parallelism is obtainable through cutting the joints and the explicit determination of associated constraint loads combined with a sequential O(n) procedure. In other words, sequential O(n) procedures are performed to form and solve equations of motion within subchains and parallel strategies are used to form and solve constraint equations between subchains in parallel. The algorithm can easily accommodate the available number of processors while maintaining high efficiency. An O[(n+m)Np+m(1+γ)Np+mγlog2Np](0<γ<1) performance will be achieved with Np processors for a chain system with n degrees of freedom and m constraints due to cutting of interbody joints.

Abstract In this paper the global motion of a rigid body subject to small periodic torques, which has a fixed direction in the body-fixed coordinate frame, is investigated by means of Melnikov’s method. Deprit’s variables are introduced to transform the equations of motion into a form describing a slowly varying oscillator. Then the Melnikov method developed for the slowly varying oscillator is used to predict the transversal intersections of stable and unstable manifolds for the perturbed rigid body motion. It is shown that there exist transversal intersections of heteroclinic orbits for certain ranges of parameter values.

Numerical solution of the dynamics equations of a flexible multibody system as represented by Hamilton’s canonical equations requires that its generalized velocities q˙ be solved from the generalized momenta p. The relation between them is p = J(q)q˙, where J is the system mass matrix and q is the generalized coordinates. This paper presents the dynamics equations for a generic flexible multibody system as represented by p˙ and gives emphasis to a systematic way of constructing the matrix J for solving q˙. The mass matrix is shown to be separable into four submatrices Jrr, Jrf, Jfr and Jff relating the joint momenta and flexible body mementa to the joint coordinate rates and the flexible body deformation coordinate rates. Explicit formulas are given for these submatrices. The equations of motion presented here lend insight to the structure of the flexible multibody dynamics equations. They are also a versatile alternative to the acceleration-based dynamics equations for modeling mechanical systems.
