Abstract Electromechanical systems are described using state variables that contain electrical and mechanical components. The equations of motion, both electrical and mechanical, describe the relationships between these components. These equations are obtained using Lagrange functions. On the basis of the function and Lagrange - d’Alembert equation the methodology of obtaining equations for electromechanical systems was presented, together with a discussion of the nonholonomicity of these systems. The electromechanical system in the form of a single-phase reluctance motor was used to verify the presented method. Mechanical system was built as a system, which can oscillate as the element of physical pendulum. On the base of the pendulum oscillation, parameters of the electromechanical system were defined. The identification of the motor electric parameters as a function of the rotation angle was carried out. In this paper the characteristics and motion equations parameters of the motor are presented. The parameters of the motion equations obtained from the experiment and from the second order Lagrange equations are compared.

When Baumgarte’s Constraint Violation Stabilization Method (CVSM) is used in the simulation of Lagrange equations of motion with holonomic constraints, it is shown that, with suitable assumptions on the integration step size h and the eigenvalues (λ’s) of the linearized system, the constraint variables are effectively integrated by the same algorithm as that used for the state variables. A numerical stability analysis of the constraint violations can be performed using this so-called pseudo-integration equation. A study is also made of truncation errors and their modeling in the continuous time domain. This model can be used to determine the effectiveness of various constraint controls and integration methods in reducing the errors in the solution due to truncation errors. Examples are presented to illustrate the use of a higher-order truncation error model which leads to an accurate quantitative steady-state analysis of the constraint violations.

AbstractThe principle of least effort has been widely used to explain phenomena related to human behavior ranging from topics in language to those in social systems. It has precedence in the principle of least action from the Lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics. In this study, we present a model for interceptive human walking based on the least action principle. Taking inspiration from Lagrangian mechanics, a Lagrangian is defined as effort minus security, with two different specific mathematical forms. The resulting Euler–Lagrange equations are then solved to obtain the equations of motion. The model is validated using experimental data from a virtual reality crossing simulation with human participants. We thus conclude that the least action principle provides a useful tool in the study of interceptive walking.

This paper presents a differential-geometric approach to the multibody system dynamics regarded as a point dynamics in a n-dimensional configuration space Rn. This configuration space becomes a Riemannian space Vn the metric of which is defined by the kinetic energy of the multibody system (MBS). Hence, all concepts and statements of the Riemannian geometry can be used to study the dynamics of MBS. One of the key points is to set up the non-linear Lagrangian motion equations of tree-like MBS as well as of constrained mechanical systems, the perturbed equations of motion, and the motion equations of hybrid MBS in a derivative-free manner. Based on this approach transformation properties can be investigated for application in real-time simulation, control theory, Hamilton mechanics, the construction of first integrals, stability etc. Finally, a general Lyapunov-stable force control law for underactuated systems is given that demonstrates the power of the approach in high-performance sports applications.

SUMMARYThis research focuses on the issue of dynamic modeling and controlling a robotic manipulator attached to a compliant base. Such a system is known under the name macro–micro system, characterized by the number of control actuators being less than the number of state variables. The equations of motion for a two-link planar elbow arm mounted on an oscillatory base has been presented in this investigation. In order to study the sensitivity of tuning the PID parameters to achieve the desired performance, the Grey relational analysis has first been proposed. Therefore, the aim of this work is to apply Grey theory to optimize parameters for partial states feedback of a PID controller for such a structure. The experimental results of the proposed methodology also show that it is technically and economically feasible to develop a low-cost, reliable, automatic, less time-consuming controller for robotics mounted on oscillatory bases.

This work presents three different approaches in inverse dynamics for the solution of trajectory tracking problems in underactuated multibody systems. Such systems are characterized by less control inputs than degrees of freedom. The first approach uses an extension of the equations of motion by geometric and control constraints. This results in index-five differential-algebraic equations. A projection method is used to reduce the systems index and the resulting equations are solved numerically. The second method is a flatness-based feedforward control design. Input and state variables can be parameterized by the flat outputs and their time derivatives up to a certain order. The third approach uses an optimal control algorithm which is based on the minimization of a cost functional including system outputs and desired trajectory. It has to be distinguished between direct and indirect methods. These specific methods are applied to an underactuated planar crane and a three-dimensional rotary crane.

A method is presented for obtaining and optimizing the frequency response of one-dimensional damped linear continuous systems. The systems considered are assumed to contain unknown constant parameters in the boundary conditions and equations of motion which the designer can vary to obtain a minimum resonant response in some selected frequency interval. The unknown parameters need not be strictly dissipative nor unconstrained. No analytic solutions, either exact or approximate, are required for the system response and only initial value numerical integrations of the state and adjoint differential equations are required to obtain the optimal parameter set. The combinations of state variables comprising the response and the response locations are arbitrary.

Abstract Due to changes in the kinematic constraints, many mechanical systems are described by discontinuous equations of motion. This paper addresses those changes in the kinematic constraints which are caused by planar bodies contacting and separating. A strategy to automatically predict and detect the kinematic constraint changes, which are functions of the system dynamics, is presented in Part I. The strategy employs the concepts of point to line contact kinematic constraints, force closure, and ray firing together with the information provided by the rigid bodies’ boundary descriptions, state variables, and reaction forces to characterize the kinematic constraint changes. Since the strategy automatically predicts and detects constraint changes, it is capable of simulating mechanical systems with unpredictable or unforeseen changes in topology. Part II presents the implementation of the characterizations into a simulation strategy and presents examples.

The purpose of this chapter is to recall the principles of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian classical mechanics. Many results are presented without detailed proofs. We obtain the Euler–Lagrange equations of motion, and show the equivalence with Hamilton’s equations. We derive Noether’s theorem and show the connection between symmetries and conservation laws. These principles are extended to a system with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, i.e. a classical field theory. The invariance under a Lie group of transformations implies the existence of conserved currents. The corresponding charges generate, through the Poisson brackets, the infinitesimal transformations of the fields as well as the Lie algebra of the group.
