Abstract A formulation of a graph problem for scheduling parallel computations of multibody dynamic analysis is presented. The complexity of scheduling parallel computations for a multibody dynamic analysis is studied. The problem of finding a shortest critical branch spanning tree is described and transformed to a minimum radius spanning tree, which is solved by an algorithm of polynomial complexity. The problems of shortest critical branch minimum weight spanning tree (SCBMWST) and the minimum weight shortest critical branch spanning tree (MWSCBST) are also presented. Both problems are shown to be NP-hard by proving that the bounded critical branch bounded weight spanning tree (BCBBWST) problem is NP-complete. It is also shown that the minimum computational cost spanning tree (MCCST) is at least as hard as SCBMWST or MWSCBST problems, hence itself an NP-hard problem. A heuristic approach to solving these problems is developed and implemented, and simulation results are discussed.

Abstract This paper details a constant stepsize, multirate integration scheme which has been proposed for multibody dynamic analysis. An Adams-Bashforth Moulton integration algorithm has been implemented, using the Nordsieck form to store internal integrator information, for multirate integration. A multibody system has been decomposed into several subsystems, treating inertia coupling effects of subsystem equations of motion as the inertia forces. To each subsystem, different rate Nordsieck form of Adams integrator has been applied to solve subsystem equations of motion. Higher order derivative information from the integrator provides approximation of inertia force computation in the decomposed subsystem equations of motion. To show the effectiveness of the scheme, simulations of a vehicle multibody system that consists of high frequency suspension motion and low frequency chassis motion have been carried out with different tire excitation forces. Efficiency of the proposed scheme has been also investigated.

Abstract This paper presents the dynamic analysis of a six-degree of freedom (dof) parallel robot based on multibody dynamics. The robot is also known as Stewart-Gough platform. The inverse and forward dynamic analysis is presented based on the Newton-Euler formulation with the imposition of the constraints through Lagrange multipliers and the application of the principle of virtual work. The singularity problem within the workspace is also focused and 3D surfaces where the robot reach singular configurations are shown. Finally, simulations for the inverse and forward dynamic of the robot have been carried out showing the computational cost.

Virtual prototype plays an important role in agile designing and manufacturing. Finite Element Analysis and multibody analysis software can also assist engineers with developing and analyzing sophisticated machines. In this paper, a virtual model of an automobile wiper is modeled and used to be simulated under virtual environment of ADAMS, which is a famous tool in mechanical engineering. After simulation, the vibration and noise that the wiper works with have been found and some suggestions are given in discussion and conclusion.
