A simulation model is developed which accounts for an orthotropic as opposed to an axisymmetric rotor, i.e., rotors are considered whose stiffness and inertial properties in two mutually orthogonal planes are different. A rotor-fixed formulation is employed to define the rotor’s elastic deflections. Favorable characteristics of this formulation are that (a) the rotor’s inertial and stiffness properties are constant, and (b) the modal coordinates are nonoscillatory during synchronous motion. The validity of the formulation is verified by conducting transient simulations for a rotor having the approximate physical dimensions of a two-pole 500 MW alternator. The simulation model correctly simulates the rotor’s theoretically predicted dynamic behavior.

Abstract A “black box” model is described for simulating the dynamic forces transmitted to the vehicle hub by a tire running over an obstacle at high speeds. The tire is reduced to a damped one-degree-of-freedom oscillating system. The five parameters required can be obtained from a test at a given speed. The model input is composed of a series of empirical relationships between the obstacle dimensions and the displacement of the oscillating system. These relationships can be derived from a small number of static tests or by means of static models of the tire itself. The model can constitute the first part of a broader model for description of the tire and vehicle suspension system, as well as indicating the influence of tire parameters on dynamic behavior at low and medium frequencies (0–150 Hz).

The paper aims at issuing of a virtual simulation model that would be able to assess the actual working modes of a torque converter, both hydraulically and mechanically. To estimating the dynamic behavior we used the assessing equations of the converter’s performance coefficients. The rotational inertial phenomena due to the transient regimes during the getaway phase are also considered. The modeling process assumed the use of the pre-defined structures of the Simulink-Matlab and Simscape-Matlab modules. The virtual model of the torque converter was fed with the experimentally determined, performance parameters as input. The input also consisted of the inertia moments of the converter’s components. Eventually, by interrogating the simulation model, we’ve got and plotted the time histories of the converter’s impeller and turbine angular velocities during the vehicle’s getaway process.

This paper investigates the effects of separation strategy and parameters related to deployment on the dynamic behavior of multitethered chain-type satellite system. The system, including several satellites connected by tethers which are considered as massless and straight, is modeled as an extension of a two-body dumbbell tethered system. The dynamic equations of system in absence of perturbations and external disturbances are derived using Newtonian Method. To observe the effect of deployment rate on the motion of system, a parametric analysis of the deployment of a three-body tethered system with different deployment rates is carried out. Moreover, a four-body tethered system is used to investigate the effect of separation strategies on the dynamic behavior of system during the deployment phase. The numerical results suggest that the system with simultaneous separation costs less time to complete the deployment. If the ratio of deployment rates is in consistence with that of their desired lengths, the tethers deployed simultaneously would have a synchronous motion. It is also observed that the system employing separation bolt has a better performance than the system separated by spring mechanism since the larger separation velocity which is not along local vertical may cause a rotation.
