In this paper, we attempt to carry out the dynamic analysis of a motor vehicle, using the virtual prototype developed with the MBS (Multi-Body Systems) software ADAMS. The virtual prototype includes the front and the rear suspension subsystems, the steering subsystem, and the car body subsystem. The experiment designed is one frequently carried by the automotive manufacturers, namely passing over bumps. The connection between wheels (tires) and road (ground) is made using contact forces, which allow modelling how adjacent bodies interact with one another when they collide during the simulation. On the virtual prototype, several measurements have been realized having in view to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle.

Sonic drilling is a novel sampling technology applied in many fields. Based on SolidWorks software, a dynamics virtual prototyping is utilized to develop a physical sonic driller by demonstrating collision detection and optimizing overall layout and key component structures. Key hydraulic and structural parameters are optimized using a mathematical model. Search for the optimized parameters and operating conditions for this multi-body mechanical system is conducted experimentally. The practical results show that the virtual prototype technology not only shortens the design cycle but also improves the quality of the conventional design. The new sonic driller designed by this method is both environmentally friendly and smarter.

Based on UG and Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System (ADAMS), the 3D model of differential was constructed and the real-time dynamic simulation of differential was achieved. The effects of gear backlash between half axle gears and planetary gears on the vibration of differential are studied. To increase the credibility of simulation results , the contact forces between half axle gears and planetary gears were calculated based on the Hertz elasticity impact theory.

The key factors of NC gear shaper working steadily are directly influenced by the mechanical properties of reduction gearbox of NC gear shaper .The reasons of the reduction gearbox of NC gear shaper producing vibration have been studied in condition of unstable load when it works based on ADAMS . The speed of shafts and the meshing force of gears are obtained from the dynamic simulation analysis by the virtual prototyping technology . It shows that the reduction gearbox of strength of the vibration increases from input shaft to output shaft and the vibration strength which reduction gearbox works in the unstable input speed is greater than that in unstable load torque.

The large pendulum is a new kind of amusement devices. Virtual modeling and dynamic simulation based on virtual prototyping technology have been done for the structure analysis of the large pendulum. The speed, acceleration and load curves for each component on the large pendulum under different operation conditions have been acquired, which provides a reliable basis for further strength and security analysis. The result shows that the virtual prototype and dynamic simulation is an effective way to enhance the design reliability of the large pendulum.

The menisci have an important multifunctional role in the human knee. They protect the joint articular cartilage (by acting as a buffer between femoral and tibial surfaces while loading), provide joint lubrication, and increase joint stability (by providing congruity between femoral and tibial articular surfaces) [1]. The menisci also effectively distribute contact forces over the articular surfaces by increasing the contact surface of the joint [2].

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.

In this paper, a virtual prototype has been built for new goose-neck jib gondola with type of CD250 on the basis of ADAMS, and then, the dynamic simulation to the effect of the leveling mechanism is analyzed to obtain the angular velocity curve and angular displacement curve of the basket, which can be regarded as the important evidence to analyze the operation effectiveness of the leveling mechanism of gondola. The approach provides the sufficient theoretical basis for rational design of the structure of gondola as well as product optimization.

Train derailments in railway switches are becoming more and more common, which have caused serious casualties and economic losses. Most previous studies ignored the derailment mechanism when vehicles pass through the turnout. With this consideration, this work aims to research the 3D derailment coefficient limit and passing performance in turnouts through the quasi-static analysis and multi-body dynamic simulation. The proposed derailment criteria have considered the influence of creep force and wheelset yaw angle. Results show that there are two derailing stages in switch panel, which are climbing the switch rail and stock rail, respectively. The 3D derailment coefficient limit at the region of top width 5 mm to 20 mm is much lower than the main track rail, which shows that wheels are more likely to derail in this area. The curve radius before the switch rail is suggested to be set as 350 m. When the curve radius before turnout is 65 m, the length of the straight line between the curve and turnout needs to be larger than 3 m. This work can provide a good understanding of the derailment limit and give guidance to set safety criteria when vehicles pass through the turnout.
