Heave Compensation system minimizes vessel heave motion during drilling operation of drillship. Heave compensator plays a role as damping form heave motion of drillship such as principle spring of car suspension system. The load transfers on the parts of heave compensator. Stress and deformation of all parts is evaluated to diagnose the stability of the compensator. This study makes a decision on the safety of structure by ANSYS 12.0v workbench.

In order to reduce the influence of the bench extraction equipment from the working deep-water exploration ship when it has swing or heave movement by wind and waves, according to the work condition and the structural parameters of 3000m deep-water exploration ship, Pump-controlled type and valve-controlled type hydraulic transmission system for waves compensation of deep-water exploration ship bench extraction equipment was researched through analysing and calculating. Wire rope which drags the bench is maintained appropriate tensioning status using this wave compensation system, when bench downs to the bottom of the sea. This system can bind and release wire rope to compensate for heave motion automatically, in order to keep the stability and security of the deep-water exploration ship before bench loading the bottom. Dynamic performance of wave compensation system is improved through controlling supplementation pressure and the accumulator parameters precisely.

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.

The curve negotiation ability and lateral stability are the important and contradictory indicators when evaluating the dynamic performance of the rail vehicle. And in order to study the stability of the rail vehicle, its curve negotiation ability will be studied firstly. In this paper, the whole multi-body dynamic model of the rail vehicle was proposed based on the theory of multi-body dynamics in the software of Simpack. And the lateral force, derailment and overturning coefficient of the rail vehicle when it passed through a specific curve track with specific speed. Then the curve negotiation ability of the rail vehicle was estimated accurately.

In this article, a new design scheme of x-by-wire steering suspension system is proposed, which aims to solve the adaptation problem of the traditional steering system, suspension system, and the electric wheel. It meets the requirement of four-wheel independent steering function with large scale. The design keeps wheel steering center axis to coincide with the virtual wheel kingpin, thereby realizing the application of the center point steering independent suspension system in electric wheels. In addition, modular design is adopted to reduce the coupling between the system and the car body, thereby realizing the generalization of the front and rear steering suspension system, and it also decreases the number of components. Furthermore, the theoretical analysis and parameter design of the self-aligning torque of the suspension are carried out. The multi-body dynamics model of system is established, and the performance is simulated in both time domain and frequency domain. The comparison test shows that the center point steering independent suspension has higher feasibility. Finally, a prototype of the system is developed, which provides a new idea for the designing of chassis for electric vehicles.

This paper describes the mathematical modeling and control of a nonlinear active suspension system for ride comfort and road handling performance by using multi-body dynamics software so-called CarSim. For ride quality and road handling tests the integration between MATLAB/Simulink and multi-body dynamics system software is proposed. The control algorithm called the Conventional Composite Nonlinear Feedback (CCNF) control was introduced to achieve the best transient response that can reduce to overshoot on the sprung mass and angular of control arm of MacPherson active suspension system. The numerical experimental results show the control performance of CCNF comparing with Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and passive system.

This work deals with the multi-objective dynamic optimization of the suspension system used for the front wheels of a single-seater vehicle. A half-car model is developed, considering the front suspension system mounted, while the rear suspension is replaced with a fictive spherical joint that is placed at the rear axle level. The purpose of the dynamic optimization is to minimize the chassis oscillations (yaw, pitch and roll), the monitored value for each design objective being the root mean square (RMS) during the dynamic simulation. The locations of some important attachments from the suspension system are used as design variables for the dynamic optimization. The dynamic model is analyzed in the passing over bumps regime, the wheels being anchored on driving actuators, whose motion simulate the road profile. Specific modules of the MBS (Multi-Body Systems) software environment MSC.ADAMS are used in this study.

Based on the Virtual. Lab software, this paper used multi-rigid body dynamics and soft multi-body dynamics theory as the foundation to establish the satellite coupled virtual prototype model including rotary table, rotating arm and the antenna. The simulation model is used to analyze the influence of the flexible rotary arm body on the satellite and obtain the rotating arm stress and deformation under the coupled conditions, which provides theory basis for the satellite design, the material selection of satellite rotary arm and other key component, and strength check under coupling dynamic load conditions. At the same time, this provides data support for the fatigue reliability research of future satellite key component.
