An analysis and digital computer program are developed to simulate vehicle and guideway dynamic response. The magnetic levitation is of the electrodynamic suspension type. The mathematical model includes effects of the following: vehicle and guideway flexible deformations, vehicle suspension and propulsion pod translation relative to the vehicle, multiple guideway spans and aerodynamic loading. The simulation is programmed in such a way that the number of sequential spans over which the vehicle travels can be increased without increasing the degrees of freedom in the simulation. Illustrative results of the simulation are presented.

Nowadays, most of the dynamic research on planing ships has been directed towards analyzing the ships motions in either 3-DOF (degrees of freedom) mode in the longitudinal vertical plane or in 3-DOF or 4-DOF mode in the lateral vertical plane. For this reason, the current authors have started a research program of describing the dynamic behavior of planing ships in a 6-DOF mathematical model. This program includes the developing of a 6-DOF computer simulation program in the time domain. This type of simulation can be used for predicting the response of these planing vessels to the environmental disturbances during high-speed sailing. In this paper, the development of the mathematical model will be presented. Furthermore, a discussion will be offered about the use of these static contributions in a time domain simulation for modeling the behavior of planing crafts in regular waves.

This article investigates a model predictive control (MPC) with disturbance observer (DOB) for a trimaran longitudinal motion control. Firstly, to design the trimaran longitudinal motion stability controller, the mathematical model of the trimaran requires to be obtained. The hydrodynamic coefficients in the mathematical model are obtained by the computational fluid dynamics simulation. Secondly, a T-foil with the fixed attack angle is selected as an antipitching appendage. It is verified that the T-foil is effective in restraining the longitudinal motion of the trimaran through numerical simulation. Lastly, to enhance the ability of the T-foil for restraining the severe longitudinal motion, a controller based on the MPC method with DOB is designed to control the attack angle. The effect of the proposed algorithm is verified by theoretical analysis and simulation.

Flutter numerical analysis of a dynamically scaled model (DSM) of a high aspect ratio wing was performed using experimentally obtained generalized parameters of eigen modes of vibrations. The DSM is made of polymer composite materials and is designed for aeroelastic studies in a high-speed wind tunnel. As a result of the analysis, safe operation conditions (flutter limits) of the DSM were determined. The input data to develop the flutter mathematical model are DSM modal test results, i.e. eigen frequencies, mode shapes, modal damping coefficients, and generalized masses obtained from the experiment. The known methods to determine generalized masses have experimental errors. In this work some of the most practical methods to get generalized masses are used: mechanical loading, quadrature component addition and the complex power method. Errors of the above methods were analyzed, and the most reliable methods were selected for flutter analysis. Comparison was made between the flutter analysis using generalized parameters and a pure theoretical one based on developing the mathematical model from the DSM design specifications. According to the design specifications, the mathematical model utilizes the beam-like schematization of the wing. The analysis was performed for Mach numbers from 0.2 to 0.8 and relative air densities of 0.5, 1, 1.5. Comparison of the two methods showed the difference in critical flutter dynamic pressure no more than 6%, which indicates good prospects of the flutter analysis based on generalized parameters of eigen modes.

Vibration of high-speed lines leads to annoyance of public and lowering real estate values near the railway lines. This hinders the development of railway infrastructures in urbanised areas. This paper investigates the vibration response of an isolated rail embankment system and modifies the component to better attenuate ground vibration. Mainly velocity response is used to compare the responses and the applied force is of 20 kN at excitation frequencies of 5.6 Hz and 8.3 Hz. Focus was made on ground-borne vibration and between the frequency range of 0 and 250 Hz. 3D Numerical model was made using SolidWork software and frequency response was produced using Harmonic Analysis module from ANSYS Workbench software. For analytical modelling MATLAB was used along with Simulink to verify the mathematical model. This paper also compares the vibration velocity decibels (VdB) of analytical two-degree of freedom model mathematical model with literature data. Harmonic excitation is used on the track to simulate the moving load of train. The results showed that modified analytical model gives the velocity response of 75 VdB at the maximum peak. Changes brought to the mass and spacing of the sleeper and to the thickness and the corresponding stiffness for the ballast does not result in significant vibration response. Limitations of two-degree analytical model is suspected to be the cause of this inactivity. But resonance vibration can be reduced with the aid of damping coefficient of rail pad. Statistical analysis methods t-test and ANOVA single factor test was used verify the values with 95% confidence.

The dynamic equation of a robotic manipulator with joint irregularities is formulated and employed for the prediction of the positioning accuracy and precision of a robotic manipulator in high-speed operation. The mathematical model is derived by incorporating a dynamic model of irregular joints in an ideal robotic equation and employing the Lagrangian formulation. The joint irregularity is modelled as an elastic sliding pair which consists of a journal with an irregular surface sliding on the surface of an elastic bearing. By employing Gaussian linearization methods, the operational accuracy and precision of the robotic manipulator are obtained from mean and covariance propagation equations of the robotic system. The operation of a single-arm robotic manipulator with joint irregularities is investigated for demonstrating the applications of the present techniques.

In many mechanical systems, the mathematical model can be characterized by m nonlinear equations in n unknowns. The m equations could be either equality constraints or active inequality constraints in a constrained optimization framework. In either case, the mathematical model consists of (n-m) degrees of freedom, and (n-m) unknowns must be specified before the system can be analyzed. In the past, designers have often fixed the set of (n-m) specification variables and computed the remaining n variables using the n equations. This paper presents constraint management algorithms that give the designer complete freedom in the choice of design specifications. An occurrence matrix is used to store relationships among design parameters and constraints, to identify dependencies among the variables, and to help prevent redundant specification. The interactive design of a torsion bar spring is used to illustrate constraint management concepts.
