Steering system directly determines the tractor steering characteristics. It has great influence on the driving comfort of a tractor and the life of the tire, etc. Based on the platform of the virtual prototype software ADAMS, the virtual prototype model of tractor steering system and the motion simulation were established. The parameters such as the tractor steering angle displacement were measured and the steering performance of tractor was analyzed. The model and simulation method this article used has significant references on the performance analysis of other vehicle steering system.

The motorcycle dynamics simulation method based on the road simulation test and virtual prototype is developed, and a rigid-flexible coupling virtual prototype with test platform of motorcycle is created with CATIA, NASTRAN and ADAMS software. According to two-channel tire-coupled road simulator of MTS Systems Corporation, the simulation model and platform are repetitively refined to fairly high precision by comparing simulation results with experimental results. The iterated excitation signal based on real road load or typical spectrum of different roads is imported into the virtual test platform, the comfort and durability tests of motorcycle can be undertaken to replace road simulator, the test period and cost are greatly reduced, and test security is increased.

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.

Based on ADAMS CAR module, and the establishment of four - wheel steering vehicle virtual prototype model of the Motor Vehicles ( the WS ). Front and rear comer is proportional to the control strategy, the angle step experimental simulation model and simulation results are analyzed. The results showed that 4WS cars can improve low speed maneuverability and high speed stability, but high speed likely to increase driver fatigue strength.

Abstract This paper examines the effect of complex crack geometry on the J-resistance curves obtained by strain-based ductile tearing simulation of complex cracked tension (CC(T)) specimens. The damage model is determined by analyzing the results of a smooth bar tensile test and a C(T) specimen toughness test on an SA508 Gr.1a low-alloy steel at 316 ?. The validity of the damage model and simulation method is checked by comparing the fracture test data for two CC(T) specimen tests. To investigate the effect of the complex crack geometry on the crack growth profiles and J-resistance curves, two geometric parameters (namely, the through-wall crack length and the surface crack depth) are systematically varied. It is found that the J-resistance curves for the CC(T) specimens with various through-wall crack lengths and surface crack depths are consistently lower than the corresponding 1T C(T) J-resistance curves. The effect of the through-wall crack length upon the J-resistance curve is found to be less significant than that of the surface crack depth. Moreover, the J-resistance curve decreases continuously with increasing surface crack depth.

Abstract In recent years, walking robot research has become an important robotic research topic because walking robots possess mobility, as oppose to stationary robots. However, current walking robot research has only concentrated on even numbered legged robots. Walking robots with odd numbered legs are still lack of attention. This paper presents the study on an odd numbered legged (three-legged) walking robot — Tribot. The feasibility of three-legged walking is first investigated using computer simulation based on a scaled down tribot model. The computer display of motion simulation shows that a walking robot with three legs is feasible with a periodic gait. During the course of the feasibility study, the general design of the three-legged robot is also analyzed for various weights, weight distributions, and link lengths. In addition, the optimized design parameters and limitations are found for certain knee arrangements. These design considerations and feasibility study using computer display can serve as a general guideline for designing odd numbered legged robots.
