Most rollover accidents involve articulated engineering vehicle due to the center of gravity shift when steering. In this paper, a virtual prototype model of a loader as the typical articulated engineering vehicle is built using multi-body dynamics software. The dynamic simulation of steering characteristic under different slop and speed is made and the roll stability is analyzed. The stable working range of the loader obtained from the simulation results can give reference for the drivers selection of vehicle route and safe operation. This paper has a certain meaning for further study of articulated vehicles roll stability.

According to the insufficient force analysis of the cable in the process of winch retraction, especially the insufficient research on the flexible cable retraction process such as the UHMWPE cable, the dynamic simulation analysis of the retraction process of the parallel grooved multi-layer drum and UHMWPE cable cable is carried out by using the virtual prototype software ADAMS. The simulation model of the cable is created by using the macro command program, and the virtual prototype model of the cable drum is completed, and the force changes of the cable under different rotating speeds are simulated.The simulation results show that the contact force between the cable and the double winding drum can be quickly stable under the specific load, and with the increase of the rotating speed, the maximum value of the tension change of the cable increases, but it is finally stable at a fixed value. The results can provide some reference for structural strength calculation of cable storage drum, selection of high molecular polyethylene cable and dynamic analysis of cable arranger under load.

A multi-body dynamics model and ground model of a small crawler chassis was built on software RecurDyn/Track (LM). The simulations of the small crawler chassis turning on hard and soft terrain are implemented respectively, and the results are analyzed and compared. The steering properties of crawler chassis turning on soft terrain are emphasized. The simulation results can provide some theoretical guidance for crawler chassis steering performance.

This paper presents an effort to use multi-body dynamics with unilateral contact to model the friction wedge interaction with the bolster and the side frame. The new friction wedge model is a 3D, dynamic, stand-alone model of a bolster-friction wedge-side frame assembly. It allows the wedge four degrees of freedom: vertical displacement, longitudinal (between the bolster and the side frame) displacement, toe-in and toe-out, and yaw (rotation about the vertical axis). The dedicated train modeling software NUCARS® has been used to run simulations with similar inputs and to compare — when possible — the results with those obtained from the new stand-alone MATLAB friction wedge model. The stand-alone model shows improvement in capturing the transient dynamics of the wedge better. Also, it can predict not only normal forces going into the frame and bolster, but also use the associated moments to enhance model behavior. Significant simulation results are presented and the main differences between the current NUCARS® model and the new stand-alone MATLAB models are highlighted.

The motion of amplification frame of dumper was simulated by multi-body dynamics simulation software ADAMS, and the danger working conditions of amplification frame were calculated. The stress of amplification frame was simulated and analyzed by Optistruct software. The results show that the stress distribution in amplification frame is not uniform and it is big in the middle and small in the edge zeros. The structure of amplification is optimized according to the simulation results. The utilization ratio of the material increases and the cost of production decreases after structural optimization.

With the gearbox of a large-scale wind turbine as a study object, the virtual prototype model of gearbox is created based on UG and ADAMS softwares according to its design parameters such as structure and size. By rigid and flexible dynamics analysis for gearbox, the angular velocity and acceleration curves of the in-out shaft are obtained. Gear meshing forces and flexible body stress cloud using ADAMS are also obtained. It is verified that these results are coincided with the theoretical value through analysis and the simulation results of ADAMS are valid. The simulation results show that the design level of wind turbine gearboxes can be improved using the virtual prototype technology and lay a good foundation for further optimal design.

The multi-body system analysis has become one of the main simulation techniques to calculate the kinematics characteristics of a car suspension under wheel travel or to build a virtual prototype model of a vehicle in order to predict the vehicle dynamics performance. The modeling of twist beam rear suspensions is always difficult for the unique structural behavior of this component. A non-linear method based on multi-body dynamics software (ADAMS/Car) was used to represent the twist beam within the suspension system. The kinematics characteristic analysis of the rear suspension was realized by means of ADAMS/Car. The main suspension parameters (toe angle, camber angle and wheel track variation) were calculated by changing wheel travel. The result shows that the method of suspension kinematics analysis by using ADAMS/Car can be used in the design of suspensions conveniently.

In this paper, a multi-body dynamics model of amphibious vehicle is established in terms of dynamic simulative software ADAMS/Car. The front and rear suspension system are studied and analyzed respectively. The handling stability performance of front suspension is simulated under step steering input, pulse steering input, steady turning, and meandered test in related to specifications. According to the simulation results, the handling stability of amphibious vehicle is evaluated objectively.

SUMMARYThis paper presents the design, analysis, and experimental validation of a miniature modular inchworm robot (MMIR). Inchworm robots are capable of maneuvering in confined spaces due to their small size, a desirable characteristic for surveillance, exploration and search and rescue operations. This paper presents two generations of the MMIR (Version 1—V1 and Version 2—V2) that utilize anisotropic friction skin and an undulatory rectilinear gait to produce locomotion. This paper highlights design improvements and a multi-body dynamics approach to model and simulate the system. The MMIR V2 incorporates a slider-crank four-bar mechanism and a relative body revolute joint to produce high-frequency relative translation and rotation to increase forward velocity and enable turning capabilities. Friction analysis and locomotion experiments were conducted to assess the systems performance on various surfaces, validate the dynamic model and simulation results, and measure the maximum forward velocity. The MMIR V1 and V2 were able to achieve maximum forward velocities of 12.7 mm/s and 137.9 mm/s, respectively. These results are compared to reported results of similar robots published in the literature.
