An approach for the computer simulation of nonlinear multiport systems is presented. Bond graph techniques are utilized in the development. The objective of the formulation is to derive a system of mixed first-order differential/algebraic equations, whose solution is facilitated by approximating the derivatives by a linear combination of the present and several previous solution points. Thus the original system of equations is converted to a system of implicit nonlinear algebraic equations which are solved by a Newton iteration procedure. The formulation procedure lends itself to mechanization similar to ENPORT. Computational results from an illustrative example show the method to be excellent in speed and accuracy relative to other simulation approaches.

Abstract Methods for formulating the first-order design sensitivity of multibody systems by direct differentiation are presented. These types of systems, when formulated by Euler-Lagrange techniques, are representable using differential-algebraic equations (DAE). The sensitivity analysis methods presented also result in systems of DAE’s which can be solved using standard techniques. Problems with previous direct differentiation sensitivity analysis derivations are highlighted, since they do not result in valid systems of DAE’s. This is shown using the simple pendulum example, which can be analyzed in both ODE and DAE form. Finally, a slider-crank example is used to show application of the method to mechanism analysis.

The article deals with the problem of consistent initial values of the system of equations of motion which has the form of the system of differential-algebraic equations. Direct treating the equations of mechanical systems with particular properties enables to study the system of DAE in a more flexible approach. Algorithms and examples are shown in order to illustrate the considered technique.

Abstract Four formulations of nonholonomic mechanical system dynamics, with both holonomic and differential constraints, are presented and shown to be well posed; i.e., solutions exist, are unique, and depend continuously on problem data. They are (1) the d'Alembert variational formulation, (2) a broadly applicable manifold theoretic extension of Maggi's equations that is a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODE), (3) Lagrange multiplier-based index 3 differential-algebraic equations (index 3 DAE), and (4) Lagrange multiplier-based index 0 differential-algebraic equations (index 0 DAE). The ODE formulation is shown to be well posed, as a direct consequence of the theory of ODE. The variational formulation is shown to be equivalent to the ODE formulation, hence also well posed. Finally, the index 3 DAE and index 0 DAE formulations are shown to be equivalent to the variational and ODE formulations, hence also well posed. These results fill a void in the literature and provide a theoretical foundation for nonholonomic mechanical system dynamics that is comparable to the theory of ODE.

We present a finite volume discretization of the nonlinear elliptic problems. The discretization results in a nonlinear algebraic system of equations. A Newton-Krylov algorithm is also presented for solving the system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Numerically solving nonlinear partial differential equations consists of discretizing the nonlinear partial differential equation and then solving the formed nonlinear system of equations. We demonstrate the convergence of the discretization scheme and also the convergence of the Newton solver through a variety of practical numerical examples.

A wide range of modeling techniques is available to the engineer. The objective of this paper is to compare some typical modeling techniques for the simulation of a multi-domain mechatronic system. Usual dynamic modeling methods, such as block diagrams and iconic diagrams, can cause problems for the engineer. Differential algebraic equations (DAEs) and algebraic loops can significantly increase simulation times and cause numeric errors. Bond graphs are less common in industry, and are presented here as a method which allows the engineer to easily identify causal loops and elements in differential causality. These can indicate DAEs in the underlying equations. An aircraft landing gear is given as an example of a multi-domain system, and is modeled as a block diagram, an iconic diagram and as a bond graph. The time to construct the model, time to solve and problems faced by the analyst are presented. Bond graphs offer distinct advantages in terms of the ease of implementing algebraic equations and visibility of causality. The time taken to model a system can be significantly reduced and the results appear free from computational errors. Bond graphs are therefore recommended for this type of multi-domain systems analysis.

In this study, a modified Newton iteration version for solving nonlinear algebraic equations is formulated using a correction function derived from convergence order condition of iteration. If the second order of convergence is selected, we get a family of the modified Newton iteration method. Several forms of the correction function are proposed in checking the effectiveness and accuracy of the present iteration method. For illustration, approximate solutions of four examples of nonlinear algebraic equations are obtained and then compared with those obtained from the classical Newton iteration method.

The approximations of the nonlinear heat transport problem are based on the finite volume (FM) and averaging (AM) methods [1,2]. This procedures allows reduce the nonlinear 2‐D problem for partial differential equation (PDE) to a initial‐value problem for a system of 2 nonlinear ordinary differential equations(ODE) of first order in the time t or to a initial‐value problem for one nonlinear ODE of first order with two nonlinear algebraic equations.

A system of first-order partial differential-algebraic equations in a Banach space with constant degenerate operators in the case of a regular operator pencil is considered. In this case, under some additional condition, the original system splits into two subsystems in disjoint subspaces in order to search for the projections of the original unknown function in the subspaces. The matching conditions for the parameters of the systems are identified. A solution of the considered system of differential-algebraic equations is constructed.

A general framework for the regularization of constrained PDEs, also called operator differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), is presented. For this, we consider semi-explicit systems of first order which includes the Navier-Stokes equations. The proposed reformulation is consistent in the sense that the solution of the PDE remains untouched. However, one can observe improved numerical properties in terms of the sensitivity to perturbations and the fact that a spatial discretization leads to a DAE of lower index, i.e., of differentiation index $1$ instead of differentiation index 2.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the first-order ordinary differential constitutive equations of endochronic theory were combined with the principle of virtual work for simulating the response of creep (moment is kept constant for a period of time) or relaxation (curvature is kept constant for a period of time) of thin-walled tubes subjected to pure bending with different curvature-rates at the preloading stage. A group of Fourier series was used to describe the circumferential displacements of the tube. Thus, a system of nonlinear algebraic equations was determined. This system of equations can be solved by numerical method. Experimental data tested by Pan and Fan [1] were compared with the theoretical simulations in this study. It is shown that the theoretical formulations effectively simulate the experimental data.
