The dynamic tension of synchronous belt and pulleys forces are obtained by analyzing the dynamic characteristics of timing drive system of a diesel based on muti-body dynamics. The effects of crankshaft speed fluctuation and other excitations on the dynamics characteristics of synchronous belt are illustrated. After the analysis, it is found that crankshaft speed fluctuation has a great influence on the linear and transversal vibrations of synchronous belt. Comparing the simulation results of the original timing system and the one optimized, it is found that the modal frequency of synchronous belt depends on its span. Therefore it is important to control the span of belt and arrange the tensioner pulley properly for timing system design.

Anti-backlash gear can improve the static transmission precision of system. Besides, the dynamic characteristics of anti-backlash gear system have a significant effect on the performance of overall mechanism, and the torsion spring preload of anti-backlash gear is an important factor to affect the dynamic characteristic. In order to study dynamic characteristics of the anti-backlash gear, a rigid-flexible coupling model of single-stage anti-backlash system was established based on ADAMS / Flex, and the simulation accuracy was compared with the pure rigid model. The effect of the torsion spring preload on frequency response of the anti-backlash system was studied by virtual sweep experiments.

This paper presents a simulation study into the characteristics of a vehicle experiencing steering drift under straight line braking. Simulation modelling has been performed using a multi-body dynamics analysis based on a model of an actual vehicle. Front and rear suspension parameters have been modelled as rigid links joined with flexible bushes so as to assess their effect on a vehicle while braking. Suspension geometry and alignment settings, which define characteristic responses such as lateral acceleration, yaw velocity, toe, and caster angles of a vehicle in a transient manoeuvre, are primary to a vehicle's directional stability. Any symmetric inconsistencies in these settings will potentially affect a vehicle's performance. The findings from this research have increased the understanding of the causes of steering drift during braking conditions.

The roller gear indexing cam has irreplaceable superiority in the high-accuracy and high-speed indexing motion, but it can not keep the system’s good dynamic characteristics to improve machining accuracy of cam only. This paper studies the dynamic simulation of the roller gear indexing cam by means of virtual prototype technology, rigid multi-body dynamics, and contact mechanics, and the influences of this system’s parameters on dynamic responds of the mechanism. These works are valuable for designers, makers and users to optimal design, test, and make the mechanism, and give a new method for studying dynamics of roller gear indexing cam.

Bite mechanics and feeding behaviour in Tyrannosaurus rex are controversial. Some contend that a modest bite mechanically limited T. rex to scavenging, while others argue that high bite forces facilitated a predatory mode of life. We use dynamic musculoskeletal models to simulate maximal biting in T. rex . Models predict that adult T. rex generated sustained bite forces of 35 000–57 000 N at a single posterior tooth, by far the highest bite forces estimated for any terrestrial animal. Scaling analyses suggest that adult T. rex had a strong bite for its body size, and that bite performance increased allometrically during ontogeny. Positive allometry in bite performance during growth may have facilitated an ontogenetic change in feeding behaviour in T. rex , associated with an expansion of prey range in adults to include the largest contemporaneous animals.

The theory of screws was largely developed by Sir Robert Stawell Ball over 100 years ago to investigate general problems in rigid body mechanics. Nowadays, screw theory is applied in many different but related forms including dual numbers, Plilcker coordinates and Lie algebra. An overview of these methodologies is presented along with a perspective on Ball. Screw theory has re-emerged after a hiatus to become an important tool in robot mechanics, mechanical design, computational geometry and multi-body dynamics.

Tangential Inlet

On the base of numerical simulation and theoretical analysis, the flow field of a conventional single-tangential-inlet Hydrocyclone and a newly put forward axial-symmetry double-tangential-inlet hydrocyclone were contrasted. The study shows that the inlet structure of the Hydrocylone has a great influence on the radial velocity of the flow field in the hydrocyclone and that the radial velocity in the hydrocyclone with single-tangential-inlet is not symmetry about the axis of the hydrocyclone; and on the other hand the radial velocity in the hydrocyclone with axial-symmetry double-tangential-inlet is symmetry about the axis of the hydrocyclone. The magnitude of the radial velocity of the flow in the hydrocyclone with single-tangential-inlet is greater than that in the hydrocyclone with axial-symmetry double-tangential-inlet hydrocyclone, which means the hydrocyclone with axial-symmetry double-tangential-inlet has greater capability than the rival one with single-tangential inlet. The symmetry about the axis of the hydrocyclone of the radial velocity means the radial velocities in the place where the radio is the same are constant, which means the hydrocyclone has a great separation efficiency. The conclusion is that changing the conventional hydrocyclone into the one with axial-symmetry double-tangential-inlet structure can offer greater separation capability and efficiency.
