We discuss the kinematics and dynamics of a wheelset rolling on a railway track. The mathematical model of a suspended wheelset rolling with constant speed on a straight track is set up and its dynamics is investigated numerically. The results are presented mainly on bifurcation diagrams. Several kinds of dynamical behavior is identified within the investigated speed range. We find a stationary equilibrium point at low speeds and at higher speeds symmetric and asymmetric oscillations are found and ranges with chaotic motion are identified. The bifurcations are described.

Firstly, according to the structure characteristics of precision centrifuge, the mathematical model of its dynamic balancing system was set up, and the dynamic balancing scheme of double test surfaces, double emendation surfaces were established. Then the dynamic balance system controller of precision centrifuge was designed. Simulation results show that the controller designed can completely meet the requirements of precision centrifuge dynamic balance control system.

In view of the existing problems of traditional interventional catheters, particularly poor activity, operation difficulty and mass blind area, a novel interventional catheter with a cable-driven active head-end is proposed, and a prototype was built to verify the performance. This paper deals with the kinematics and dynamics of the cable-driven prototype, a dynamic model based on Kanes method combined with screw theory was presented in this paper. According the mathematical model and the prototypes structure, the analysis of kinematics and dynamics of active head-end-end is done in the environment of Mathematica. The needed driving forces of every joint when the system moving along planned trajectory are calculated. The results can provide a basis for the structure design and motion control of the interventional active catheter.

In this study, we analyzed the endemic equilibrium point of a malaria-hygiene mathematical model. We prove that the mathematical model is biological and meaningfully well-posed. We also compute the basic reproduction number using the next generation method. Stability analysis of the endemic equilibrium point show that the point is locally stable if reproduction number is greater that unity and globally stable by the Lasalle’s invariant principle. Numerical simulation to show the dynamics of the compartment at various hygiene rate was carried out.

Abstract Clearance is inevitable in the kinematic joints of mechanisms. In this paper the dynamic behavior of a crank-slider mechanism with clearance in its tripod-ball sliding joint is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The mathematical model of this new-type joint is established, and the new concepts of basal system and active system are put forward. Based on the mode-change criterion established in this paper, the consistent equations of motion in full-scale are derived by using Kane method. The experimental rig was set up to measure the effects of the clearance on the dynamic response. Corresponding experimental studies verify the theoretical results satisfactorily. In addition, due to the nonlinear elements in the improved mathematical model of the joint with clearance, the chaotic responses are found in numerical simulation.

The paper solves some control problems of mobile robots as both kinematics and dynamics are intertwined in the mathematical model. The problems of driving the vehicle to a desired configuration in a specified time and tracking a reference trajectory are considered. The control problems associated with motion in convoy and rigid formations of a group of vehicles are studied and some results are demonstrated by numerical examples.

Bent-arm PenduBot is more similar to human arm, which attaches more and more robot experts’ attention around the world. As the foundation of the multi-link PenduBot control, the mathematical model should be established first. Based on the method of kinematics and dynamics, the N-link bent-arm PenduBot mathematical models are established in this paper, including the nonlinear model and the linear model. The natural characteristics of different pendulum are analyzed. By using the condition number of the controllability matrix, the control difficulty for higher order systems is compared.

By introducing a generalized memristor into a fourth-order Colpitts chaotic oscillator, a new memristive Colpitts chaotic oscillator is proposed in this paper. The generalized memristor is equivalent to a diode bridge cascaded with a first-order parallel RC filter. Chaotic attractors of the oscillator are numerically revealed from the mathematical model and experimentally captured from the physical circuit. The dynamics of the memristive Colpitts chaotic oscillator is investigated both theoretically and numerically, from which it can be found that the oscillator has a unique equilibrium point and displays complex nonlinear phenomena.

A mathematical model of the longitudinal flexibility of a continuously welded railway track and the methodology for the analysis of the longitudinal displacement of rails under the effects of passing trains is developed to investigate the longitudinal behavior of rails. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the changes of longitudinal stress distribution in the rails due to mechanical loading applied by a travelling train. A half track system is used to derive the equations required to obtain the magnitude of deflection and force of rails and these values are scaled to produce the displacement pattern using the method of superposition. The mathematical model is translated into MATLAB and validation of the program is verified through comparisons of displacement patterns generated by a computer software LONGIN. Analysis of a straight track due to train braking was performed over a track length of 1000 m. The longitudinal displacement obtained showed that maximum longitudinal displacement occur in the middle of the track at the distance of 570 m which is in direct agreement with the published result.

TA mathematical model describing heat and mass transfer performance of packed-type parallel flow dehumidifier was set up. The numerical solution of differential equations was derived. Taking the heat and mass transfer coefficients obtained by experiments as the input parameters of the model, the impact of solution inlet parameters on outlet parameter of air was described. The simulation results indicated that the mathematical model could be used to predict the performance of liquid dehumidification. The results showed that the mathematical model can be of great value in the design and improvement of dehumidifier.

In the report the author offers a mathematical description of the model of the dynamics of the railway autonomous traction module. The autonomous traction module is a multi-mass complex system moving on a railway track. The mathematical model takes into account the parameters and types of connections between the solids of the system, as well as takes into account the sliding forces between the wheels and rails. The mathematical model developed by the author can be applied at theoretical researches of innovative designs of autonomous traction means on railway transport.
