This paper presents a numerical method for elastic-kinematics analysis of five-rod suspension based on displacement matrix method and spatial body equilibrium theory. A mathematical model for elastic-kinematics analysis of five-rod suspension is established and equilibrium equations of suspension are derived. The method for calculating equilibrium location of suspension when counterforce of road surface acts on the wheel is discussed on the precondition of considering the influence of the elasticity of each kinematic pair on suspension and not considering it. This method simplifies the solving process of elastic-kinematics analysis of five-rod suspension and is efficient especially for computer-based solving process.

The main objective of the Suspension of a vehicle is to maximize the contact between the vehicle tires and the road surface, provide steering stability and provide safe vehicle control in all conditions, evenly support the weight of the vehicle, transfer the loads to springs, and guaranteeing the comfort of the driver by absorbing and dampening shock. This paper discusses the kinematic design of a double a-arm Suspension system for an FSAE Vehicle. The hardpoint’s location can be determined using this procedure to simulate motion in any kinematic simulation software. Here, Optimum Kinematics is used as kinematic simulation software, and the results are verified using Msc Adams simulation. The method illustrated deals with the basics of Kinematics which helps to predict the characteristics of the Suspension even before simulating it in the kinematic simulation software.

The forward displacement analysis of parallel mechanism is attributed to find the solutions of complicated nonlinear equations and it is a very difficult process. Taking chaotic sequences as the initial values of the damp least square method, we can find all the solutions of equations quickly. Making use of existing chaos system and discovering new chaos system to generate chaotic sequences with good properties is the key to the damp least square method based on Chaos sequences. Based on utilizing hyper-chaotic Hénon mapping to obtain initial points, a new method of finding all real number solutions of the nonlinear questions is proposed. Using cosine matrix method, the author established the mathematical model of forward displacement for the generalized 3SPS-3CCS parallel robot mechanism and a numerical example is given. Compared to the quaternion method building mathematical model, the result shows cosine matrix method building mathematical model and hyper-chaotic damp least square method to find solution is brief and high calculation efficiency as the calculation is done in real number range. The proposed method has universality which can be used in forward displacement of other parallel mechanism.

The mathematical model of kinematic wave, that is widely used in hydrological calculations, is generalized to compute processes in deformable channels. Self-similar solutions to the kinematic wave equations, namely, the discontinuous wave of increase and the “simple” wave of decrease are generalized. A numerical method is proposed for solving the kinematic wave equations for deformable channels. The comparison of calculation results with self-similar solutions revealed a good agreement.

The paper presents a computer-based approach aiming to solve the equilibrium equations of a floating body by means of potential-energy minimization. After a brief and general discussion, the principle that the potential energy of the system must be at a minimum is adopted as the condition for identifying the stable equilibrium positions of a marine vehicle. A consistent mathematical formulation is then developed. The problem is solved, therefore, by searching for the minimum of a function of three variables using a simple and efficient iterative method. This makes it possible for the equilibrium positions to be determined directly, unlike the classic methods-that is, without any previously constructed table of hydrostatic data and regardless of the magnitude of waterplane rotation compared with the initial orientation. No restriction is stipulated on hull form. Some study cases relating to a prismatic barge and a jacket-type platform are presented and analyzed. Relevant numerical results allow the procedure to be optimized so as to improve convergence. Finally, peculiar features of the proposed method are discussed, with particular reference to jacket-type offshore platforms, and further valuable applications are indicated.

It is proposed that the formation of the subglacial bedforms known as drumlins occurs through an instability associated with the flow of ice over a wet deformable till. We pose a mathematical model that describes this instability, and we solve a simplified version of the model numerically in order to establish the form of finite-amplitude two-dimensional waveforms. A feature of the solutions is that cavities frequently form downstream of the bedforms; we allow the model to cater for this possibility and we provide an efficient numerical method to solve the resulting free boundary problem.
