Riccati transfer matrix method for multibody systems (RMSTMM) has lower matrix order and better numerical stability than transfer matrix method for multibody systems (MSTMM). In order to make technicians more convenient to apply RMSTMM in practical engineering to improve the computational efficiency of dynamics, in this paper, a linear RMSTMM solver is developed based on the linear RMSTMM theory. A solver input document with good compatibility and extensibility is designed based on extensible markup language (XML); The data structure of multibody system is designed based on object-oriented programming method. The technique of auto selecting the cut hinges of closed-loops of the multibody system is established by introducing the correlation matrix and the dynamic connectivity matrix which depict the connecting state of elements. The automatic generation of the derived tree system by cutting off the closed-loops in the multibody system is realized based on the technique. The automatic regularly numbering of dynamics elements of multibody systems is realized based on the depth first recursive traversal algorithm; Finally, the Riccati transfer matrix recursive technique is implemented based on the regular numbers of dynamics elements of the multibody system. An example is given to verify the effectiveness of the solver which provides a powerful tool for extending the application of RMSTMM in practical engineering.

Abstract The conventional transfer matrix method for multibody systems (MSTMM) with closed-loops (CLs) has superiority of avoiding the global dynamics equations. However, it requires a transfer equation to link Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) rigid body with multi-hinge subset and supplement equations caused CLs. In order to simplify the deduction processing and improve the numerical stability, the Riccati transformation is introduced and the Riccati transfer matrix method for multibody systems (RMSTMM) with CL is proposed. In a system with CLs, each CL is cut off at the connection point, and the new unknowns generated at the cut-off point are introduced into the Riccati recurrence relation. The numerical results of the conventional MSTMM and the RMSTMM are compared, and the reliability of the RMSTMM is verified. Meanwhile, the constrained Jacobian matrix is used to eliminate the non-working reactions of the system. The variations of the constraint violation error are compared to validate necessarily of constraints.

Transfer Matrix Method for Multibody Systems (MSTMM) has the advantages of no need to establish the global system dynamics equations, low order of the system matrix, high programming, and fast calculation speed compared to the ordinary dynamics methods. In this paper, the topological graph of the dynamics model, transfer equations, transfer matrix of overall system and the simulation program of dynamics of the self-propelled artillery system are established by using the new version of the transfer matrix method for multibody systems and the automatic deduction theorem of overall transfer equation of systems. Realize the rapid calculation of the deviation of the pitch angle and the revolution angles of the turret versus time in the self-propelled artillery. It provides a theoretical basis and simulation means for the dynamics analysis of the self-propelled artillery.

The transfer matrix method for linear multibody systems is capable of providing precise solutions for the dynamics of various mechanical systems, but it may also suffer from numerical instability in some cases, where serial chains with a large number of mechanical elements are involved or high-frequency harmonic responses are computed. Combining such a transfer strategy with the Riccati transformation yields the Riccati transfer matrix method (RTMM), which can help improve the numerical stability. According to the existing method, the conventional transfer matrices of all the mechanical elements should be obtained first; in other words, the existence of conventional transfer matrices is a prerequisite for the application of the RTMM. Thus, it seems that the RTMM is incapable of performing the dynamics analysis of linear multibody systems with indeterminate in-span conditions due to the nonexistence of the corresponding conventional transfer matrices. Observe that, for any state variables with indeterminate input–output relationships, the complementary state variables (the complementary state variable of a displacement is the corresponding internal force and vice versa) are identically equal to zero, and that the dimension of the Riccati transfer equation is only half of that of the conventional transfer equation. It reveals that the Riccati transfer equations for the connection points associated with indeterminate in-span conditions can be formulated directly, and that there is no need to rely on the conventional transfer equation. Two numerical examples are simulated and the computational results are compared with those obtained by the finite element method, which verifies the proposed method.
