The equations of motion in matrix form are formulated for a flexible rod in a quick return mechanism using Hamilton’s principle and the assumed mode method. The rod is considered as an Euler beam. The crank is assumed to be rigid and rotating at a constant angular speed. The translating-rotating joint connecting the crank to the flexible rod is assumed to be a frictionless moving point support for the flexible rod. This support is regarded as a very stiff spring acting on the rotating flexible rod. Results of numerical simulations are presented for various prescribed crank positions, crank lengths, and crank speeds.

Assumed Mode

The improved equations of motion for a friction-engaged brake system have been newly derived on the basis of the assumed mode method and frictional damping. The equations of motion with a finite element model were constructed by a set of vibration modes found from FE modal analysis on all system components. Consequently, the modal information of system components are combined with equations of motion derived from the analytical model. Numerical analysis showed the mode which was unstable in an undamped case became stable in a damped case.

The transverse vibration of a beam moving over two supports with clearance is analyzed using Euler beam theory. The equations of motion are formulated based on a Lagrangian approach and the assumed mode method. The supports with clearance are modeled as frictionless supports with piecewise-linear stiffness. A feature of the present formulation is that its complexity does not increase with increased number of supports. Results of numerical simulations are presented for various prescribed motions of the beam. The effect of support clearance on the stability of the beam is investigated.

In order to avoid the complicated calculation of vector,used the Lagrange equation to build the nonlinear equations of iced transmission line from the perspective of energy,used the Runge-Kutta numerical calculation to solve the equations of motion and get the iced transmission line’s across-wind,along-wind and the torsional response. Based on Lyapunov stability theory to deduce the critical wind speed of the iced transmission line galloping. And had used a test iced transmission line to verify the feasibility of the numerical solution and the critical wind speed.

In this paper the equations of motion for a flexible multi-link manipulator are derived. Each link of the manipulator, including those with prismatic motion, is represented by two finite elements in three-dimensional space. The prismatic links are treated as beams with moving boundary conditions, and the position of finite-element node points are not changed relative to the link. The equations are generated using Maple V, and the paper discusses a general approach for eliminating small terms. A sample calculation is performed for a RRP (Stanford arm) manipulator, and the shift of natural frequencies with time are plotted. Results are compared to those obtained by the assumed-mode method.

Abstract The dynamic behavior of a rotating shaft-disk-blades system containing a cracked blade is investigated. With the crack released energy, the flexibility due to crack is evaluated. An energy principle in conjunction with the assumed-mode method is applied to yield the discrete equations of motion. Numerical examples are given for cases with between two and five symmetrically arrayed blades. The results show that there exist both torsion-bending coupled modes and blade-coupling modes, which occur at repeated frequencies. When there is a cracked blade, the frequencies of torsion-bending coupled modes decrease due to the crack, and blade-coupling modes have the phenomena of frequency bifurcation. Finally, the effects of shaft speed on the natural frequencies are illustrated.

A semi-analytical solution for the tip-off response of a vehicle moving along a guideway is obtained, considering the dynamic interaction between the two subsystems. The guideway is modeled as an inclined simply-supported uniform flexible beam, and the vehicle as a flexible free-free beam under a pre-specified thrust force. The equations of motion for the vehicle and guideway are developed using the Lagrangian approach and the assumed mode method based on the Euler–Bernoulli hypothesis. In the form of nonlinear differential equations, they are solved by the Petzold-Gear backward differentiation formula (BDF) method. The solutions obtained are validated by comparing them with the published results for the models with a rigid vehicle running over a rigid guideway or a flexible guideway. Comparisons of the present solutions with the existing ones for the vehicle and guideway reveal the advantages of the approach proposed herein. Other effects on the tip-off responses of the vehicle that are investigated include the length of the guideway, distance between the shoes of the vehicle, and mass and rigidity ratios of the vehicle to the guideway. The results presented herein provide valuable information for the design of the vehicle launch system.

Analytical investigation into the effect of transverse bending of continuous flexible shafts is presented. While the blades are allowed both in-plane and out-of-plane deformations, the considered disk is rigid, and the shaft is allowed to bend in two planes. The assumed mode method is used to express flexible blade and shaft deformations, and the Lagrangian approach is used to derive the governing equations of motion for the considered structure. Stiffness and inertia properties of an actual experimental rotor, typical of a fan stage, are used in the analysis. Calculations are performed for three different disk-shaft configurations, and results are presented for different shaft stiffness and inertia parameters, as well as for a wide range of rotational speed.

Assumed Mode

The traditional approach of using free vibration modes in the assumed mode method often leads to an extremely slow convergence rate, especially when discete interactive forces are involved. By introducing a number of forced modes, significant improvements can be achieved. These forced modes are intrinsic to the structure and the spatial distribution of forces. The motion of the structure can be described exactly by these forced modes and a few free vibration modes provided that certain conditions are satisfied. The forced modes can be viewed as an extension of static modes. The development of a forced mode formulation is outlined and a numerical example is presented.
