This paper is concerned with the dynamic response of straddle-monorail with single-axle bogie under curve condition. A 15 degrees-of-freedom(DOF) dynamic model is established for straddle-type monorail vehicle with single-axle bogie, which consists driving wheels, steering wheels and stabilizing wheels. The motion equations of the straddle-type monorail vehicle are derived using the Lagrange's equation, and the wheel-rail contact model and the curving track beam model are created. Compared with the test results, the accuracy of the method is verified. Finally, the influence of curve radius, curve superelevation rate, number of passengers and stiffness of driving wheels on dynamic response is discussed.

The flexibility of the driving shaft affects the dynamic behavior of a cam mechanism. On the basis of a dynamic model this effect can be determined theoretically. The results of different dynamic models are then compared with test results. The drawing up of rules concerning the design of cam mechanisms makes use of a model which is sufficiently accurate as well as sufficiently simple, so that the dynamic response can be characterized by merely two dimensionless parameters, one for the follower and one for the camshaft.

A discrete linear-elastic, multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) dynamic model developed for the dynamic analysis of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures with flexible diaphragms is presented. The discrete MDOF dynamic model represents the dynamic response of the structure in a given direction by a reduced number of discrete masses associated to translational degrees of freedom acting in that direction. The discrete model considers the flexibility of the diaphragms and the rotations of the walls, which are included into the global translational degrees of freedom through static condensation. Soil-structure interaction effects can be easily incorporated in the method. The applicability of the method in the study of the dynamic response of a URM structure with flexible diaphragms is presented. The structure, an old firehouse located at Gilroy, California, has been instrumented by California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP). Instrumented records of the dynamic response of the firehouse of Gilroy during the Loma Prieta Earthquake are available. The firehouse survived the earthquake with little damage. The discrete dynamic model presented in this work has been able to reproduce well the recorded dynamic response of the firehouse of Gilroy during the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

In this study, a dynamic model of a single-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine has been created, and the crankshaft speed fluctuations have been simulated and validated. The dynamic model of the engine consists of the motion equations of the piston, conrod, and crankshaft. Conrod motion was modeled by two translational and one angular motion equations, by considering the kinetic energy resulted from the mass moment of inertia and conrod mass. Motion equations involve in-cylinder gas pressure forces, hydrodynamic and dry friction, mass inertia moments of moving parts, starter moment, and external load moment. The In-cylinder pressure profile used in the model was obtained experimentally to increase the accuracy of the model. Pressure profiles were expressed mathematically using the Fourier series. The motion equations were solved by using the Taylor series method. The solution of the mathematical model was performed by coding in the MATLAB interface. Cyclic speed fluctuations obtained from the model were compared with experimental results and found compitable. A validated model was used to analyze the effects of in-cylinder pressure, mass moment of inertia of crankshaft and connecting rod, friction, and piston mass. In experiments for 1500, 1800, 2400, and 2700 rpm engine speeds, crankshaft speed fluctuations were observed as 12.84%, 8.04%, 5.02%, and 4.44%, respectively. In simulations performed for the same speeds, crankshaft speed fluctuations were calculated as 10.45%, 7.56%, 4.49%, and 3.65%. Besides, it was observed that the speed fluctuations decreased as the average crankshaft speed value increased. In the simulation for 157.07, 188.49, 219.91, 251.32, and 282.74 rad/s crankshaft speeds, crankshaft speed fluctuations occurred at rates of 10.45%, 7.56%, 5.84%, 4.49%, and 3.65%, respectively. The effective engine power was achieved as 5.25 kW at an average crankshaft angular speed of 219.91 rad/s. The power of friction loss in the engine was determined as 0.68 kW.

Backlash is a key internal excitation on the dynamic response of planetary gear transmission. After the gear transmission running for a long time under load torque, due to tooth wear accumulation, the backlash between the tooth surface of two mating gears increases, which results in a larger and irregular backlash. However, the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear is generally neglected in lots of dynamics analysis for epicyclic gear trains. In order to investigate the impact of backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear on dynamic behavior of compound planetary gear set, in this work, first a static tooth surface wear prediction model is incorporated with a dynamic iteration methodology to get the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear for one pair of mating teeth under the condition that contact ratio equals to one. Then in order to introduce the tooth accumulated wear into dynamic model of compound planetary gear set, the backlash excitation generated by tooth accumulated wear for each meshing pair in compound planetary gear set is given under the condition that contact ratio equals to one and does not equal to one. Last, in order to investigate the impact of the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear on dynamic response of compound planetary gear set, a nonlinear lumped-parameter dynamic model of compound planetary gear set is employed to describe the dynamic relationships of gear transmission under the internal excitations generated by worn profile, meshing stiffness, transmission error, and backlash. The results indicate that the introduction of the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear makes a significant influence on the bifurcation and chaotic characteristics, dynamic response in time domain, and load sharing behavior of compound planetary gear set.

Abstract An exact method is developed to eliminate the accelerometer error in dynamic response calculations for damped multi-degree of freedom systems. It is shown that the exact responses of a system can be obtained from the approximate responses which are conventionally calculated from an accelerogram. Response calculations were performed for two typical systems with three degrees of freedom for an assumed pseudo-earthquake. The results showed that the approximate responses may contain large errors, and that the correction developed effectively eliminates these errors.

This paper proposes a new approach for computing the real eigenvalues of a multiple-degrees-of-freedom viscoelastic system in which we assume an exponentially decaying damping. The free-motion equations lead to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem. If the system matrices are symmetric, the eigenvalues allow for a variational characterization of maxmin type, and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be determined very efficiently by the safeguarded iteration, which converges quadratically and, for extreme eigenvalues, monotonically. Numerical methods demonstrate the performance and the reliability of the approach. The method succeeds where some current approaches, with restrictive physical assumptions, fail.

The drive shaft system with a tripod joint is known to cause lateral vibration in a vehicle due to the axial force generated by various contact pairs of the tripod joint. The magnitude of the generated axial force, however, is related to various operating factors of the drive shaft system in a complex manner. The generated axial force due to a drive shaft system with a tripod joint and a ball joint was experimentally characterized considering ranges of operational factors, namely, the input toque, the shaft rotational speed, the articulation angle, and the friction. The data were analyzed to establish an understanding of the operational factors on the generated axial force. Owing to the observed significant effects of all the factors, a multibody dynamic model of the drive shaft system was formulated for predicting generated axial force under different operating conditions. The model integrated the roller–track contact model and the velocity-based friction model. Based on a quasi-static finite element model, a new methodology was proposed for identifying the roller–track contact model parameters, namely, the contact stiffness and force index. To further enhance the calculation accuracy of the multibody dynamic model, a new methodology for identifying the friction model parameters and the force index was proposed by using the measured data. The validity of the model was demonstrated by comparing the model-predicted and measured magnitudes of generated axial force for the ranges of operating factors considered. The results showed that the generated axial force of the drive shaft system can be calculated more accurately and effectively by using the identified friction and contact parameters in the paper.

A system of multiple degrees of freedom composed out of three masses and three springs has been presented in 2008 for analyzing rockfall impacts on protective structures covered by a cushion layer. The model has then been used for a blind prediction of a large-scale test carried out in Sapporo, Japan, in November 2009. The test results showed substantial deviations from the blind predictions, which led to a deeper evaluation of the model input parameters showing a significant influence of the modeling properties for the cushion layer on the overall results. The cushion properties include also assumptions for the loading geometry and the definition of the parameters can be challenging. This paper introduces the test setup and the selected parameters in the proposed model for the blind prediction. After comparison with the test results, adjustments in the input parameters in order to match the test results have been evaluated. Conclusions for the application of the model as well as for further model improvements are drawn.
