A nonsmooth generalized?alpha method for mechanical systems with frictional contact

System identification of a beam with frictional contact

The nonlinear system becomes an area with numerous investigations over the past decades. The conventional modal analysis could not be  applied on nonlinear continuous system which makes it impossible to construct the reduced order models and obtain system response based on limited number of measurement points. Nonlinear normal modes provide a useful tool for extending modal analysis to nonlinea...

The adapted augmented Lagrangian method: a new method for the resolution of the mechanical frictional contact problem

The aim of this work is to propose a new numerical method for solving the mechanical frictional contact problem in the general case of multi-bodies in a three dimensional space. This method is called adapted augmented Lagrangian method (AALM) and can be used in a multi-physical context (like thermo-electro-mechanical fields problems). This paper presents this new method and its advantages over ...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

Analysis and Simulation of Mechanical Systems with Multiple Frictional Contacts

In many engineering applications such as assembly of mechanical components, robot manipulation, gripping, fixturing and part feeding, there are situations in which a rigid body is subject to multiple frictional contacts with other bodies. It is proposed to develop a systematic method for the analysis and simulation of such systems. A detailed study is presented on rigid body impact laws, and th...
