Based on study of the power transmission system theory for hybrid car, a silent chain drive system which is used to transmit power between motor and gear box was designed. Using multi-body dynamic software RecurDyn, the dynamic behavior of the silent chain system was simulated, the chain tension, meshing impact load and instantaneous transmission ratio of the drive system under different velocity was analyzed. The results show that, at the whole speed range, the chain tension is always less than the chain rotation fatigue strength (including a safety factor of 1.3 times), its able to meet the working requirements, the instantaneous impact load when link plate meshing into sprocket relate to chain tension and sprocket rotation speed, the transmission error of silent chain system is within the allowable range and can meet the transmission requirement.

In order to conveniently analyze the dynamic performance of tracked vehicles, mathematic models are established based on the actual structure of vehicles and terrain mechanics when they are moving on the soft random terrain. A discrete method is adopted to solve the coupled equations to calculate the acceleration of the vehicle’s mass center and tractive force of driving sprocket. Computation results output by the model presented in this paper are compared with results given by the model, which has the same parameters, built in the multi-body dynamic software. It shows that the steady state calculation results are basically consistent, while the model presented in this paper is more convenient to be used in the optimization of structure parameters of tracked vehicles.

Based on the rigid finite element method and multibody dynamics, a discrete model of a flexible conveyor belt considering the material viscoelasticity is established. RFE (rigid finite element) and SDE (spring damping element) are used to describe the rigidity and flexibility of a conveyor belt. The dynamic differential equations of the RFE are derived by using Lagrange’s equation of the second kind of the non-conservative system. The generalized elastic potential capacity and generalized dissipation force of the SDE are considered. The forward recursive formula is used to construct the conveyor belt model. The validity of dynamic equations of conveyor belt is verified by field test. The starting mode of the conveyor is simulated by the model.

The wave-driven catamaran is a small surface vehicle driven by ocean waves. It consists of a hull and hydrofoils, and has a multi-body dynamic structure. The process of moving from static state to autonomous navigation driven by ocean waves is called “self-propulsion”, and reflects the ability of the wave-driven catamaran to absorb oceanic wave energy. Considering the importance of the design of the wave-driven catamaran, its self-propulsion performance should be comprehensively analysed. However, the wave-driven catamaran’s multi-body dynamic structure, unpredictable dynamic and kinematic responses driven by waves make it difficult to analyse its self-propulsion performance. In this paper, firstly, a multi-body dynamic model is established for wave-driven catamaran. Secondly, a two-phase numerical flow field containing water and air is established. Thirdly, a numerical simulation method for the self-propulsion process of the wave-driven catamaran is proposed by combining the multi-body dynamic model with a numerical flow field. Through numerical simulation, the hydrodynamic response, including the thrust of the hydrofoils, the resistance of the hull and the sailing velocity of the wave-driven catamaran are identified and comprehensively analysed. Lastly, the accuracy of the numerical simulation results is verified through a self-propulsion test in a towing tank. In contrast with previous research, this method combines multi-body dynamics with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to avoid errors caused by artificially setting the motion mode of the catamaran, and calculates the real velocity of the catamaran.
