<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We consider the planar double pendulum where its center of mass is attached in an elliptic orbit. We consider the case where the rods of the pendulum have variable length, varying according to the radius vector of the elliptic orbit. We make an Hamiltonian view of the problem, find four linearly stable equilibrium positions and construct the boundary curves of the stability/instability regions in the space of the parameters associated with the pendulum length and the eccentricity of the orbit.</p>

Abstract An analytical model for investigating parametric vibration stability of slider-crank mechanisms with flexible coupler is presented. The continuous model is formulated to account for initial curvature as well as internal material damping in the coupler. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations in terms of the time-dependent modal coefficients. Floquet theory is employed to determine the effects of geometric stiffening as well as relative component mass on parametric stability of mechanism response. Results indicate the existence of instability regions due to combination resonances of various modes. In addition, the stability characteristics of the mechanism is found to improve when slider forces are directed away from the crank-ground pin (i.e. the connecting rod is in tension), and when a relatively smaller slider mass is used.

This article discusses the question of the possibility of improving the roll stability of partially filled tank vehicles while braking. We consider the dangers associated with partially filled tank vehicles. We give examples of the severe consequences of road traffic accidents that have occurred with tank vehicles carrying dangerous goods. We conducted an analysis of the dynamic processes of fluid flow in the tank and their influence on the basic parameters of the stability of vehicle. When transporting a partially filled tank due to the comparability of the mass of the empty tank with the mass of the fluid being transported, the dynamic qualities of the vehicle change so that they differ significantly from the dynamic characteristics of other vehicles. Due to large displacements of the center of mass of cargo in the tank there are additional loads that act vehicle and significantly reduce the course stability and the drivability. We consider the dynamics of liquid sloshing in moving containers, and give examples of building a mechanical model of an oscillating fluid in a tank and a mathematical model of a vehicle with a tank. We also considered the method of improving the vehicle’s stability, which is based on the prediction of the moment of action and the nature of the dynamic processes of liquid cargo and the implementation of preventive actions by executive mechanisms. Modern automated control systems (anti-lock brake system, anti-slip control systems, stabilization systems, braking forces distribution systems, floor level systems, etc.) use a certain list of elements for collecting necessary parameters and actuators for their work. This gives the ability to influence the course stability properties without interfering with the design of the vehicle only by making changes to the software of these systems. Keywords: tank vehicle, roll stability, mathematical model, vehicle control systems.

The most important feature of this paper is to transform the complex motion of robot turning into a simple translational motion, thus simplifying the dynamic model. Compared with the method that generates a center of mass (COM) trajectory directly by the inverted pendulum model, this method is more precise. The non-inertial reference is introduced in the turning walk. This method can translate the turning walk into a straight-line walk when the inertial forces act on the robot. The dynamics of the robot model, called linear inverted pendulum (LIP), are changed and improved dynamics are derived to make them apply to the turning walk model. Then, we expend the new LIP model and control the zero moment point (ZMP) to guarantee the stability of the unstable parts of this model in order to generate a stable COM trajectory. We present simulation results for the improved LIP dynamics and verify the stability of the robot turning.

The Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model was developed to describe center of mass movement patterns observed in animals, using only a springy leg and a point mass. However, SLIP is energy conserving and does not accurately represent any biological or robotic system. Still, this model is often used as a foundation for the investigation of improved legged locomotion models. One such model called Torque Damped SLIP (TD-SLIP) utilizes two additional parameters, a time dependent torque and dampening to drastically increase the stability. Forced Damped SLIP (FD-SLIP), a predecessor of TD-SLIP, has shown that this model can be further simplified by using a constant torque, instead of a time varying torque, while still maintaining stability. Using FD-SLIP as a base, this paper explores a leg placement strategy using a simple PI controller. The controller takes advantage of the fact that the energy state of FD-SLIP is symmetric entering and leaving the stance phase during steady state conditions. During the flight phase, the touch down leg angle is adjusted so that the energy dissipation due to dampening, during the stance phase, compensates for any imbalance of energy. This controller approximately doubles the region of stability when subjected to velocity perturbations at touchdown, enables the model to operate at considerably lower torque values, and drastically reduces the time required to recover from a perturbation, while using less energy. Finally, the leg placement strategy used effectively imitates the natural human response to velocity perturbations while running.

The study was devoted to the analysis of feller buncher platform leveling systems. The widespread use of these systems in the design of modern feller-buncher machines makes the study relevant to assess operational efficiency. The analysis was conducted in five stages using analytical and stochastic mathematical modeling methods. In the first stage, the existing layouts of alignment systems were analyzed from the position of force on the hydraulic cylinder rods of the platform tilt drive. The three-cylinder layout scheme, where the force on the hydraulic cylinder rod was 50…60% less than that on the two-cylinder layout, appeared to be the most expedient. In the second stage, a mathematical model for determining changes in the position of the center of mass of the feller-buncher depending on the inclination angle of the platform was derived. In the third stage, a mathematical model was derived for determining the limiting angle of slope of the terrain when the feller buncher moved up the slope. For this purpose, two calculation schemes were considered when the machine moved up the slope without and with a tilted platform. Zero support reaction on the front roller was taken as the stability criterion. In the fourth stage, a mathematical model for determining the limiting angle of slope of the terrain during the roll of the feller-buncher machine was obtained. In the fifth stage, the efficiency of the application of leveling systems was evaluated. A graph of the dependence of changes in the terrain slope angle on the platform slope angle was plotted, and a regression dependence for an approximate estimate was obtained. A regression analysis was also carried out, and dependencies were obtained to determine the weight of a feller-buncher with a leveling system and the added pressure on the ground caused by the increase in the weight of the base machine. The analysis of platform leveling systems showed the effectiveness of their application in the designs of feller-buncher machines, as it allows the machines to work on slopes with an inclination of 50…60% more than without them.

It is seen that when the hook mass is larger than the load mass or the load has distributed mass property, the load sway of the crane system presents as double-pendulum effect. In this situation, crane system has two different natural frequencies so that the sway characteristic becomes more complex and greatly increases the difficulty of the dynamic performance analysis and controller design. Moreover, the rope length changes significantly affect the stability and control performance of the crane system. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the linear dynamics of a two-dimensional overhead crane with double-pendulum effect is derived based on a disturbance observer, and is decoupled for controller design by modal analysis. Next, a state feedback controller is presented to achieve robust control performance for a given range of rope length changes. The controller gains are obtained via linear matrix inequality optimization method. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental results validate that the proposed method has superior control performance.

A novel theoretical framework for the identification of the balance stability regions of biped systems is implemented on a real robotic platform. With the proposed method, the balance stability capabilities of a biped robot are quantified by a balance stability region in the state space of center of mass (COM) position and velocity. The boundary of such a stability region provides a threshold between balanced and falling states for the robot by including all possible COM states that are balanced with respect to a specified feet/ground contact configuration. A COM state outside of the stability region boundary is the sufficient condition for a falling state, from which a change in the specified contact configuration is inevitable. By specifying various positions of the robot’s feet on the ground, the effects of different contact configurations on the robot’s balance stability capabilities are investigated. Experimental walking trajectories of the robot are analyzed in relationship with their respective stability boundaries, to study the robot balance control during various gait phases.
