Based on a constant-coefficient dynamic model, a study was made to determine the influence of various hydrodynamic coefficients on the predicted maneuverability quality of submerged bodies. Two types of geometries were considered, a submarine and an axisymmetric slender geometry. For the submarine, the equations of motion used were the revised standard submarine equations (Feldman 1979) while for the latter geometry a dynamic model was developed. From computer simulation of a few selected definitive maneuvers based on these two different dynamic models for the two geometries, the sensitivity of the simulated trajectory on changes in different coefficients was found. The results quantified in form of sensitivity values are presented. It is found that the typical measures from the maneuvers do not depend significantly on most of the nonlinear coefficients. The coefficients having significant effects on the trajectories are found to be the linear damping coefficients for the submarine and the linear inertial force coefficients for the axisymmetric body.

And Performance

The front-end loader is an indispensable machine for the off-road construction equipment industry. It is a classic example of a working machine with complex interactions between its subsystems (hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical). Dynamic models of the full-scale vehicle coupled with event-based operator models are currently used to help quantify the overall system performance, efficiency, and operability. However, these models are complex and not always necessary to characterize the response of individual subsystems. There is great value added to the design process — especially in prototyping of new vehicle platforms — in development of simpler models that can quickly and accurately define first-order measures of system loads and performance. This paper presents a subscale dynamic model, which isolates the boom and bucket manipulator systems of the front-end loader for the purpose of design load characterization. The model includes state equations governing the hydraulic dynamics across the control valves and in the cylinders, as well as soil—tool interaction loads (passive earth loads) at the bucket cutting edge. The governing equations of motion for the multi-rigid body model of the bucket linkage are developed using Kane's method. The proposed model is intended to accelerate the structural design and analysis of the boom and bucket linkage subsystems and may yield useful information for optimization purposes. The output from the dynamic simulation is compared with the field test data of the machine.

Abstract Dynamic models of the cable-driven continuum robots are commonly employed for those robots that are actuated by the cables’ forces. In this paper, a dynamic model is proposed for the cable-driven continuum robots actuated by position and/or force actuated cables, which is appropriate for any desired number of actuation cables and their routing. The robot is supposed to have an extensible backbone with the capability of bending and torsion in three-dimensional spaces. The proposed dynamic model is developed based on the Euler–Lagrange formulation of equations of motion taking into account all the effective forces including gravity force, cable actuation forces, external forces, and cable-disk friction forces. Furthermore, an iterative numerical solution method is presented for the dynamic model which requires much less memory and computational effort in comparison with the closed-form methods. The static model of the robots is also developed based on the dynamic model and the results obtained from the simulations and experiments are used for the validation of the static and dynamic models. The final results indicate the accuracy of the proposed models for estimating the kinematics, statics, and dynamics of the cable-driven continuum robots.

Loads Analysis

A technique is presented for conducting efficient loads analyses of Shuttle-payloads systems with linear or nonlinear attachment interfaces. The technique relies on representing the Space Shuttle and the payloads with physical and modal coordinates. Further, by invoking a standard algorithm of numerical integration of equations of motion, the kinematics of the interface degrees of freedom at a given time are determined without calculating the modes of the combined system involving the Space Shuttle and the payload. If the Shuttle-payloads interface coupling induces a linear dynamic model for the loads analysis, the equations of motion of the Shuttle and the payload are integrated separately step-by-step in time. If the dynamic model is nonlinear, the equations of motion of the Shuttle and the payload are again integrated separately. However, in the latter case an iterative procedure is used within a time step to converge to reliable values of the nonlinear terms of the equations of motion. The usefulness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by conducting a loads analysis for the Shuttle abort landing event with the Inertia Upper Stage (IUS) booster carrying a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) in the payload bay. This combined system has at its interface dry friction and hydraulic nonlinear dampers. For the analysis of this system, the discontinuous signum function used traditionally in modeling dry friction is replaced by an expeditious continuous approximation. Because of its efficiency and versatility, the new technique deserves serious consideration for becoming a standard tool for linear or nonlinear analysis of combined systems, in general, and of Shuttle-payloads systems, in particular.

Theoretical Condition

A computer program for calculating dynamic coefficients of journal bearings is necessary in designing fluid film journal bearings and an accuracy of the program is sometimes checked by the relation that the cross terms of linear damping coefficients of journal bearings are equal to each other, namely “Cxy = Cyx”. However, the condition for this relation has not been clear. This paper shows that the relation “Cxy = Cyx” holds in any type of finite width journal bearing when these are calculated under the following condition: (I) The governing Reynolds equation is linear in pressure or regarded as linear in numerical calculations; (II) Film thickness is given by h = c (1 + κcosθ); and (III) Boundary condition is homogeneous such as p=0 or dp/dn=0, where n denotes a normal to the boundary.

В статье рассматривается определение коэффициентов демпфирования и присоединенных масс, возникающих при совместной качке двух судов в условиях мелководья параллельно вертикальной стенке на основании решения трехмерной потенциальной задачи. Определение гидродинамических коэффициентов осуществляется на основании методов интегральных уравнений и зеркальных отображений. Представленное решение в отечественной практике является новым. В статье приводятся результаты расчетов коэффициентов присоединенных масс и демпфирования, возникающих при качке двух одинаковых судов, расположенных лагом к волнению и параллельно вертикальной стенке в зависимости от изменения расстояний как между судами, так и между судами и вертикальной стенкой. Проводится исследование влияния различных фарватеров на величины гидродинамических коэффициентов, а именно: мелководного фарватера, мелководного фарватера с вертикальной стенкой, мелководного фарватера со вторым параллельно качающимся судном и мелководного фарватера с вертикальной стенкой и вторым судном. Таким образом, в работе учитывается одновременное влияния мелководья, вертикальной стенки и второго судна. Показано увеличение значений коэффициентов присоединенных масс и демпфирования при уменьшении расстояний между судами и между судами и вертикальной стенкой. Также показано значительное совместное влияние вертикальной стенки и второго судна на коэффициенты присоединенных масс и демпфирования по сравнению с другими видами стесненных фарватеров. The article discusses the determination of damping coefficients and added masses arising from the joint motions of two ships in shallow water conditions parallel to the vertical wall based on the solution of a three-dimensional potential problem. Determination of hydrodynamic coefficients is carried out on the basis of the methods of integral equations and mirror images. The solution presented in the national practice is new The article presents the results of calculating the coefficients of added masses and damping arising from the motions of two identical ships located lagged to the sea and parallel to the vertical wall, depending on the change in the distances between the ships and between the ships and the vertical wall. A study is being made of the influence of various waterways on the values ​​of hydrodynamic coefficients, namely: a shallow waterway, a shallow waterway with a vertical wall, a shallow waterway with a second parallel oscillating ship and a shallow waterway with a vertical wall and a second ship. Thus, the work takes into account the simultaneous influence of shallow water, vertical wall and the second ship. An increase in the values of the coefficients of added masses and damping with a decrease in the distances between ships and between ships and the vertical wall is shown. It also shows a significant combined effect of the vertical wall and the second ship on the added mass and damping coefficients in comparison with other types of constrained waterways.

Abstract This paper presents the effect of foundation flexibility on the optimum design of vibration absorbers. Flexibility of the base is incorporated into the absorber system equations of motion through an equivalent damping ratio and stiffness value in the direction of motion at the connection point. The optimum values of the uncoupled natural frequency and damping ratio of the absorber are determined over a range of excitation frequencies and the primary system damping ratio. The design parameters are computed and compared for the rigid, static, and dynamic models of the base as well as different levels of base flexibility.

Accurate modeling and efficient control of inverted pendulums have always been a challenge for researchers. So, the current research aims to achieve the following objectives: (I) proposing a comprehensive dynamic model for the inverted pendulums which accounts for the flexibility of the pendulum bar and (II) suggesting an appropriate supervisory fuzzy-pole placement control strategy for stabilizing the pendulum system. Using a Lagrangian formulation, the equations of motion are derived and linearized. Then, a state feedback controller with a reduced-order observer is designed to stabilize the system. Closed-loop simulations reveal that at least six modes shall be considered in the dynamic equations. To improve the quality of the transient response, a novel fuzzy system is developed for real-time assignment of the controller poles. Simulation results demonstrate that the control quality is significantly improved by adding a supervisory fuzzy system to the control loop. The developed approach for dynamic modeling of the system, and the idea of multi-level fuzzy-pole placement control architecture developed in this paper, may be successfully applied to improve the response specifications in other dynamic systems.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to achieve the optimal system design of a four-wheel mobile robot on transmission line maintenance, as the authors know transmission line mobile robot is a kind of special robot which runs on high-voltage cable to replace or assist manual power maintenance operation. In the process of live working, the manipulator, working end effector and the working environment are located in the narrow space and with heterogeneous shapes, the robot collision-free obstacle avoidance movement is the premise to complete the operation task. In the simultaneous operation, the mechanical properties between the manipulator effector and the operation object are the key to improve the operation reliability.

Findings The research results show that the mechanical configuration of this robot can complete the tightening operation of the four-split tension clamp bolts and the motion of robot each joint meets the requirements of driving torque in the operation process, which avoids the operation failure of the robot system caused by the insufficient or excessive driving force of the robot joint torque. Originality/value Finally, the engineering practicability of the mechanical configuration and dynamic model proposed in the paper has been verified by the physical prototype. The originality value of the research is that it has double important theoretical significance and practical application value for the optimization of mechanical structure parameters and electrical control parameters of transmission line mobile robots.

Abstract In the present study, surface gravity wave scattering and radiation by a freely floating rectangular buoy placed near a partially reflecting seawall and in the presence of an array of caisson blocks are analyzed. Various hydrodynamic parameters related to the wave scattering and radiation, such as the added mass and radiation damping coefficients, correspond to sway, heave and roll motions of the floating buoy, horizontal force, vertical force and moment acting on the floating structure, and horizontal wave force acting on the partially reflecting seawall are studied for a variety of wave and structural parameters. The study reveals that the resonating pattern in various hydrodynamic coefficients occurs for moderate values of the wavenumber. Further, when the distance between the floater and the sidewall is an integral time of half wavelength, the resonating behavior in the sway, heave and roll added masses, and associated damping coefficients appears, and the aforementioned hydrodynamic coefficients change rapidly around this zone. These resonance phenomena can be diminished significantly with appropriate positioning of the floater with respect to the sidewall and in the presence of partially reflecting seawall.
