Lift Off

The mechanism of the slip of a rectangular rigid body during free lift-off motion is investigated analytically and experimentally. Equations of motion of slipping rectangular rigid body during free lift-off motion are derived by the variational approach. The time histories of both slip and lift-off motions are numerically computed and compared with corresponding experimental results to discuss the analytical accuracy; given an initial enforced lift-off angle to the rectangular rigid body and then gently released. The mechanical energy balance of simultaneous slip and lift-off motions is clarified to explain the considerable reduction of lift-off angle due to the slip.

A dynamic model for multi-rigid-body systems which consists of interconnected rigid bodies based on particle dynamics and a recursive approach is presented. The method uses the concepts of linear and angular momentums to generate the rigid body equations of motion in terms of the Cartesian coordinates of a dynamically equivalent constrained system of particles, without introducing any rotational coordinates and the corresponding rotational transformation matrix. For the open-chain system, the equations of motion are generated recursively along the serial chains. A closed-chain system is transformed to open-chain by cutting suitable kinematical joints and introducing cut-joint constraints. An example is chosen to demonstrate the generality and simplicity of the developed formulation.

The equations of motion and boundary conditions for a free-free Timoshenko beam with rigid bodies attached at the endpoints are derived. The natural boundary conditions, for an end that has an attached rigid body, that include the effects of the body mass, first moment of mass, and moment of inertia are included. The frequency equation for a free-free Timoshenko beam with rigid bodies attached at its ends which includes all the effects mentioned above is presented and given in terms of the fundamental frequency equations for Timoshenko beams that have no attached rigid bodies. It is shown how any support / rigid-body condition may be easily obtained by inspection from the reported frequency equation. The mode shapes and the orthogonality condition, which include the contribution of the rigid-body masses, first moments, and moments of inertia, are also developed. Finally, the effect of the first moment of the attached rigid bodies is considered in an illustrative example.

Planar Systems

The Euler–Lagrange equation is frequently used to develop the governing dynamic equilibrium expressions for rigid-body or lumped-mass systems. In many cases, however, the rectangular coordinates are constrained, necessitating either the use of Lagrange multipliers or the introduction of generalized coordinates that are consistent with the kinematic constraints. For such cases, evaluating the derivatives needed to obtain the governing equations can become a very laborious process. Motivated by several relevant problems related to rigid-body structures under seismic motions, this paper focuses on extending the elegant equations of motion developed by Greenwood in the 1970s, for the special case of planar systems of rigid bodies, to include rigid-body rotations and accelerating reference frames. The derived form of the Euler–Lagrange equation is then demonstrated with two examples: the double pendulum and a rocking object on a double rolling isolation system. The work herein uses an approach that is used by many analysts to derive governing equations for planar systems in translating reference frames (in particular, ground motions), but effectively precalculates some of the important stages of the analysis. It is hoped that beyond re-emphasizing the work by Greenwood, the specific form developed herein may help researchers save a significant amount of time, reduce the potential for errors in the formulation of the equations of motion for dynamical systems, and help introduce more researchers to the Euler–Lagrange equation.

We provide a tutorial and review of the state-of-the-art in robot dynamics algorithms that rely on methods from differential geometry, particularly the theory of Lie groups. After reviewing the underlying Lie group structure of the rigid-body motions and the geometric formulation of the equations of motion for a single rigid body, we show how classical screw-theoretic concepts can be expressed in a reference frame-invariant way using Lie-theoretic concepts and derive recursive algorithms for the forward and inverse dynamics and their differentiation. These algorithms are extended to robots subject to closed-loop and other constraints, joints driven by variable stiffness actuators, and also to the modeling of contact between rigid bodies. We conclude with a demonstration of how the geometric formulations and algorithms can be effectively used for robot motion optimization.

In this article, we systemize some results on the study of the equations of motion of dynamically symmetric fixed four-dimensional rigid bodies–pendulums located in a nonconservative force fields. The form of these equations is taken from the dynamics of real fixed rigid bodies placed in a homogeneous flow of a medium. In parallel, we study the problem of the motion of a free four-dimensional rigid body also located in a similar force fields. Herewith, this free rigid body is influenced by a nonconservative tracing force; under action of this force, either the magnitude of the velocity of some characteristic point of the body remains constant, which means that the system possesses a nonintegrable servo constraint. We also show the nontrivial topological and mechanical analogies.

In this paper, we deal with the nonlinear dynamics, the transfer of energy and control of the vibrations of a Micro Electro-mechanical System (MEMS) gyroscope. The MEMS are micro-transducers whose operation is based on elastic and electrostatic forces that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice-versa. These systems can be modeled by 2-DOF spring-mass-damper system and the coupling of the system equations is performed by Coriolis force. This coupling is responsible for the energy transfers of the two vibration modes (drive-mode and sense-mode) and for the resonance in MEMS gyroscope. The governing equations of motion have periodic coefficients and as the dimensions of the quantities involved in the system may be inconsistent it is not advisable the use of perturbation methods for the solution of the MEMS gyroscope. For this reason, in the dynamic analysis and control of the vibrations of the MEMS gyroscope, we used a technique based on Chebyshev polynomial expansion, the iterative Picard and transformation of Lyapunov-Floquet (L–F). For the analysis of the dynamic of the micro electro-mechanical system gyroscope, we did the diagram of stability, phase planes and time history of transfer of energy. Finally, we did the control of the unstable orbit to a desired periodic one and compared the phase planes of orbits desired and controlled and time histories of energy transfer of the controlled and non-controlled system.

Abstract In the present paper a general systematic modeling procedure has been conducted in deriving dynamic equations of motion using Lagrange’s approach for a spatial multibody structural system involving rigid bodies and elastic members. Both the rigid body degrees of freedom and the elastic degrees of freedom are considered as unknown generalized coordinates of the entire system in order to reflect the nature of mutually coupled rigid body and elastic motions. The assumption of specified rigid body gross motion is no longer necessary in the equation derivation and the resulting differential equations are highly nonlinear. Finite element analysis (FEA) with direct stiffness method has been employed to model the flexible substructures. Nonlinear coupling terms between the rigid body and elastic motions are fully derived and are explicitly expressed in matrix form. The equations of motion of each individual subsystem are formulated based on a moving frame instead of a traditional inertial frame. These local level equations of motion are assembled to obtain the system equations with the implementation of geometric boundary conditions by means of a compatibility matrix.

The power of the new equations of motion developed in part I of this paper is illustrated using three examples from multi-body dynamics. The first two examples deal with the problem of accurately controlling the orientation of a rigid body, while the third example deals with the synchronization of two rigid bodies so that their relative orientations are ‘locked’ through prescribed dynamical relationships. The ease, simplicity and accuracy with which control of such highly nonlinear systems is achieved are demonstrated.

Adaptive Vibration Control

Designing a controller for multi-body systems including flexible and rigid bodies has always been one of the major engineering challenges. Equations of motion of these systems comprise extremely nonlinear and coupled terms. Vibrations of flexible bodies affect sensors of rigid bodies and might make the system unstable. Introducing a new control strategy for designing control systems which do not require the rigid–flexible coupling model and can dwindle vibrations without sensors or actuators on flexible bodies is the purpose of this paper. In this study, a spacecraft comprising a rigid body and a flexible panel is used as the case study, and its equations of motion are extracted using Lagrange equations in terms of quasi-coordinates. For oscillations on a rigid body to be eliminated, a frequency estimation algorithm and an adaptive filtering are used. A controller is designed based on the rigid model of the system, and then robust stability conditions for the rigid–flexible system are obtained. The conditions are also developed for the spacecraft with more than one active frequency. Finally, the robust adaptive vibration control system is simulated in the presence of resonance. Simulations’ results indicate the advantage of the control method even when several active frequencies simultaneously resonate the dynamics system.

In this review, we discuss new cases of integrable systems on the tangent bundles of finite-dimensional spheres. Such systems appear in the dynamics of multidimensional rigid bodies in nonconservative fields. These problems are described by systems with variable dissipation with zero mean. We found several new cases of integrability of equations of motion in terms of transcendental functions (in the sense of the classification of singularities) that can be expressed as finite combinations of elementary functions.
