Flexible hydraulic robotic arm is a complicated system which coupled by mechanics and hydraulics. It is widely applied in all kinds of large engineering equipments, such as concrete pump truck, bridge monitor truck, arm frame of crane, etc. The arm system of the hydraulic robotic arm is a multi-body system with redundant freedom, strong nonlinear, coupled with rigid and flexible characters. So it is of great theoretic value and real engineering significance to study the arm system of the robotic arm. In this theme, the movement of flexible hydraulic robotic arm and hydraulic cylinders are seperately analyzed with flexible multi-body dynamics, and the mechanical hydraulic dynamic model of the driving system and the arm system is built with Lagrange Equation and Virtual Work Theory. And the dynamic differential equation is built with the driving force of the hydraulic cylinder as the main force. With the track programming and the optimization method, the dynamic converse problem of the arm end track is researched, so as to get the optimized rotation angle when the arm end reaches the expected point. By using the PD control theory, without decoupling and rank-decreasing, only with feed back from the hydraulic system to realize the close loop control of the arm end position, pose and movement, the relationship between the hydraulic system and the end position & pose is studied, so that the flexible distortion is reduced and the libration is restrained. What’s more, the simulation model of the mechanical arms is built by the dynamic simulation software. The simulation result prove that the movement equation built by this way can clearly describe each dynamic character of the mechanical arms.

The flexible robotic arm drived by hydraulic are widely applied in most kinds of large engineering equipments, such as concrete pump truck, bridge monitor truck,etc. Nevertheless, the flexible distortion always break the precision of end-position and cause liberation of the whole arm system. In this paper, the movement of flexible hydraulic robotic arm and hydraulic cylinders are separately analyzed with flexible multi-body dynamics. And the dynamic differential equation is built with the driving force of the hydraulic cylinder as the main force. The equation is based on the theory of flexible multi-body dynamics, building the coupled model of robotic arm system and hydraulic-driving system to study the relation between the end-position, angle and the hydraulic system. What’s more, the simulation model of the mechanical arms is built by the dynamic simulation software. The project will theorectically support the intelligent control or auxiliary control of large engineering equipments.

On the foundation of analyzing the excavator’s working device structure, this paper built its three-dimensional model in Catia embedded in the VL Motion, created the bodies, defined the joints and corresponding drive interface to produce the multi-body dynamic model. According to the analysis on the hydraulic system of the working device, it built the electro-hydraulic system with the interface of Motion in AMEsim and then performed the coupled simulation between the Motion and AMEsim. Aiming at the working device’s performance defects, such as the worse displacement tracking, the slow respond, it designed the PID closed loop control system to improve the system’s performance. The simulation results show that the working device’s combination performance has been improved greatly, respond speed becomes fast and the ability of displacement tracking is better.

This paper presents a generalized, multi-body dynamics model for a tracked vehicle equipped with a winch for towing operations. The modeling approach couples existing formulations in the literature for the powertrain components and the vehicle-terrain interaction to provide a comprehensive model that captures the salient features of terrain trafficability. This coupling is essential for making realistic predictions of the vehicle’s mobility capabilities due to the power-load relationship at the engine output. Simulation results are presented jointly with experimental data to validate these dynamics under conditions where no action is taken by the winch. Extended modeling includes dynamics of the hydraulic system that powers the winch so that the limitation of the winch as an actuator and the load it puts on the engine are realized. A second set of simulation results show that for a set of open loop control actions by the winch, the vehicle is able to maintain its mobility in low traction terrain by paying the towed load in and out.

In order to improve the power performance and fuel economy performance of powered platform lorry, this paper analyses the characteristics of hydraulic system and engine to make three-close-loop control strategy. Its physical model is built with AMESim simulation software and the three-close-loop control strategy controller for the system is constructed in Matlab/Simulink environment. To evaluate the three close-loop control strategy, a co-simulation method with AMESim/Simulink is used. The simulation results show the control strategy is effective to improve the efficiency of the hydraulic drive system, the utilization of engine power, and the life of hydraulic components.

 A quadrotor is a four-rotor aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, hovering, forward flight, and having great maneuverability. Its platform can be made in a small size make it convenient for indoor applications as well as for outdoor uses. In model there are four input forces that are essentially the thrust provided by each propeller attached to each motor with a fixed angle. The quadrotor is basically considered an unstable system because of the aerodynamic effects; consequently, a close-loop control system is required to achieve stability and autonomy. Such system must enable the quadrotor to reach the desired attitude as fast as possible without any steady state error. In this paper, an optimal controller is designed based on a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control method to obtain stability in flying the quadrotor. The dynamic model of this vehicle will be also explained by using Euler-Newton method. The mechanical design was performed along with the design of the controlling algorithm. Matlab Simulink was used to test and analyze the performance of the proposed control strategy. The experimental results on the quadrotor demonstrated the effectiveness of the methodology used.

This chapter discusses virtual work, returning to the Newtonian framework to derive the central Lagrange equation, using d’Alembert’s principle. It starts off with a discussion of generalised force, applied force and constraint force. Holonomic constraints and non-holonomic constraint equations are then investigated. The corresponding principles of Gauss (Gauss’s least constraint) and Jourdain are also documented and compared to d’Alembert’s approach before being generalised into the Mangeron–Deleanu principle. Kane’s equations are derived from Jourdain’s principle. The chapter closes with a detailed covering of the Gibbs–Appell equations as the most general equations in classical mechanics. Their reduction to Hamilton’s principle is examined and they are used to derive the Euler equations for rigid bodies. The chapter also discusses Hertz’s least curvature, the Gibbs function and Euler equations.
