A review of recent developments in multibody dynamics modeling and analysis is presented. Multibody dynamics is one of the fastest growing fields of applied mechanics. Multibody systems are increasingly being employed as models of physical systems such as robots, mechanisms, chains, cables, space structures, and biodynamic systems. Research activity in multibody dynamics has stimulated research in a number of subfields including formulation methods, system modeling, numerical procedures, and graphical representations. These are also discussed and reviewed.

This article presents a novel design of a flexure-based, piezoelectric actuated, completely decoupled, high-bandwidth, highresolution, and large stroke parallel XY micromanipulator with two amplification levers. The monolithic mechanism is featured with dual working modes, which meets different kinds of requirements in terms of high resolution and large workspace in micro/nano fields. In order to reduce the displacement loss, the modeling and analysis of bending motion of the levers are conducted; thereafter, compliance and stiffness modeling by employing the matrix method are established. Furthermore, the dynamics modeling and analysis via Lagrange equations are performed to improve the dynamic properties of the mechanism. The simulation results of finite element analysis indicate that the cross-coupling between the two axes is kept to 1.2%; meanwhile, the natural frequency of the mechanism is about 700 Hz, and the amplifier ratio is approximately 2.32. Both theoretical analysis and finite element analysis results well validate the performance of the proposed mechanism.

A paper written for and presented at the ASME 2010 Joint Rail Conference explored the science and methodology that BNSF Railway has taken to avoid wind-caused derailments.1 This paper further develops this topic with the approach Norfolk Southern Corp (NS) has taken. The foundational fluid flow dynamics and vehicle dynamics modeling and analysis are reviewed. The modeling included doublestack platforms loaded with empty boxes, trailer-on-flatcar (“piggyback”) equipment, high-cube boxcars, hoppers/coal gondolas, and multilevel (“autorack”) flatcars. The implementation of the modeling is outlined as a description of NS’ Speed Restriction System (SRS). The SRS uses real-time weather data and a lookup table of vehicle responses to provide the traffic controller (dispatcher) with recommended train speeds. Thoughts and suggestions on further development of a blowover risk reduction system are presented.

Due to urbanisation and the economic challenges of traffic, it is urgently necessary to develop an environmentally friendly virtual-track train with suitable speed, high load capacity and low construction cost in China. To guide the design and evaluate this train’s dynamic behaviour, a spatial-dynamics model has been developed based on the dynamics theory and tyre-road interaction. The proposed dynamics model comprises mechanical vehicle systems, traction and braking characteristics and tyre-road dynamic interactions. The coupling effects amongst those systems of virtual track train are derived theoretically for the first time. The nonlinear characteristics of the tyre are modelled by the transit tyre-magic formula with consideration of road irregularities. Based on a designed PID controller and the comprehensive dynamics model, the dynamic performance of the system can be revealed considering motion coupling effects and complicated excitations, especially under traction and braking conditions. The dynamic responses of whole virtual track train can be obtained by numerical integration under different conditions. The vibration characteristics of such train are assessed under running at a constant speed and during the traction/braking process. The results show that the vibrations of the vehicle system are significantly influenced by road irregularities, especially at high speed ranges. The motions and vibrations of different components are intensive coupled, which should not to be neglected in the dynamics assessment of the virtual track train. Besides, the dynamics model can also be applied to dynamics-related assessment (fatigue, strength and some damage conditions, et al.) and parameter optimisation of the virtual-track train.

In order to investigate the electromechanical coupling dynamic behaviors of portal crane's hoisting system, the electromechanical coupling model of the system was established by utilizing Lagrange-Maxwell equation. Taking the MQ2535 portal crane as an example, the electromechanical coupling dynamic characteristic curves of the hoisting system was studied based on the MATLAB simulation platform, in addition that the interrelate and interactive characteristics between the electromagnetic system and mechanical system was presented. It is shown that the results have larger difference compared with the results of neglecting the electromechanical coupling effects. This is because of the energy-stored role of the electromagnetic system and the load tracking property of the driving motor that the dynamic load got buffered and then the dynamic load factor became lower. The research results can provide theoretical supports for matching and optimizing the parameters of electromechanical system and improving the portal crane safety.
